PA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said Israel's actions "not only inflame tensions but further underscore the dubious nature of the occupying power's claims of readiness to negotiate a peace settlement."
It's part of its wider scheme to steal all valued Palestinian land, solidify occupation control, subvert peace, and prevent a viable two-state solution.
Maliki wants Israeli settlements topping UN priorities. In fact, they barely register at all. Israel knows it has a free hand. It takes full advantage. Ban Ki-moon's on board. Washington's support goes without saying.
Rhetoric aside, Abbas collaborates willingly. Palestinians are denied. Liberating justice depends on getting it on their own. It's been that way for decades. Nothing changed. Palestine's struggle continues with no end so far in sight.
