There is yet NOTHING to discuss. Attention Ms. Rice, and Mr. Bush.....

Ma'an News Agency
Bethlehem – Ma'an – Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki said on Sunday that a "modern Palestinian revolution" has erupted to demand the right of return for Palestinian refugees.

Those who believe a resolution to the Palestinian - Israeli conflict can be reached without the right of return according to UN resolution 194, he said, are "insane."

Therefore, except merely as another truce to be broken due to lack of control of 'activists', or a one sided PR session, what is the point of talking? Since right of return means no Israel, and since Rice is rushing headlong into this insisting Israel make gestures, maybe we should start reserving land in Idaho now. 6 million could fit there easily. Maybe that's the gesture that should be made. I wonder what 6 million voting ethnically cleansed jewish exiles would do here? Hey, maybe Rove......naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !

Zaki, who is also the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) representative in Lebanon, was speaking at a panel discussion in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, along with the city's mayor, Khalid Asila, and governor Hussain Al-A'raj.

On the subject of the upcoming US-backed peace conference, he said: "We will go to Annapolis and surprise those who criticize Fatah and the PLO that it was us who initiated the idea of an independent state and the pursuers of freedom."

With regards to Hamas' June takeover of the Gaza Strip, Zaki said, "Had Hamas assaulted Fatah alone, we would have pardoned them; but they had lowered the Palestinian flag, demolished the Unknown Soldier's monument, entered homes of PLO's leaders Abu Jihad and Yasser Arafat; they sold Arafat's uniform for 200 NIS."
