Israel's supposed negotiating partners are busy confiscating Israeli products from store owners in the West Bank and destroying these Israeli produced goods. These strong armed tactics are hurting the Arab residents of the West Bank. They are being used as political pawns in Fayyad's plan to declare a Palestinian State "without settlements."

Fayyad,represents Abbas'  Fatah and is supposed to be Israel's negotiating partner. In fact, over the last week there have been numerous stories about Israel's Prime Minister and Defense Minister dedicating themselves to getting negotiations started with Fatah.  Supposedly the United States is behind this effort.

And once again we declare, Israel has no one it can negotiate with. This product burning shenanigan is one more example of how Israel's counterparts want nothing to do with Israel. When are Israel and the United States going to realize this reality? When are they going to formulate a policy that will recognize the political vacuum on the Arab side?

Currently, Israel and the United States are wasting precious resources on an unattainable quest.  The sooner they stop this diplomatic charade with Fatah the sooner policies can be enacted that will secure the State of Israel.
