There is not now, nor was there ever ANYTHING to discuss between Israel and the Palestinians

Abbas: We will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told interviewers that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, Israel Radio reported on Tuesday.

Abbas reportedly said that his position is no different from those Arafat present in previous negotiations, and that his staff is the same as Arafat's.

He also hinted that the PA may fall apart if there is no hope for a solution in the near future. He then repeated that the PA will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

Israel will simply have to make up it's mind to be a garrison state until Islam is reformed by humans worried about the lives of their children in the here and now
