Peace process initiatives were stillborn from inception. Decades of futility define them. Palestinians genuinely want peace. They deserve it and much more.
Israeli leaders pretend they care. Doing so conceals their dark agenda. They deplore peaceful conflict resolution. They prioritize violence and instability.
They want all valued parts of Judea and Samaria exclusively for Jews. They want Palestinians occupied, exploited, abused and denied. They don’t negotiate. They demand.
On February 1, Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State. John Kerry replaced her. He’s made four Middle East trips so far. He’s up to no good.
Key is assuring support for Washington’s imperial agenda. He wants peace process hypocrisy restarted. He and Netanyahu plot privately. Abbas is pressured to go along.
He’s a longtime Israeli collaborator. He sold out long ago. He provides enforcer services. He’s well compensated for doing so. He pretends concern for his own people. He never did before. He doesn’t now.

On Sunday, he and Shimon Peres met in Amman. They did so on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa.
“The time for peace is now,” said Peres. Throughout decades of government service, he prioritized conflicts, violence, instability and persecution.
