Israel prime minister Mr. Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to have direct peace talks with the Palestinian Authority, in CNN there is a nicely written article about the issue trying to view it from an optimistic point of view although it is written as if there is no hope of success.

Here are a couple of reasons why these negotiations will be futile:

Nobody even noticed there are scheduled peace talks.

In the Oslo talks, Madrid talks and almost any other peace talks, things heated up to a boiling point – at least here in Israel. The newspapers wrote about it weeks before it began, Television delayed other shows to make to for commentators and political advisors in special TV shows.

Until yesterday, a day after the announcement was made, the local newspapers did not even mention the issue in the front page, other issues are apparently more interesting.

From what I understand, the Palestinians are no better press wise.

The Palestinians layout demands before the process even starts.

This have always been a fail point for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel will not agree to anything prior to sitting at the negotiations tables, even more so when the Palestinians keep firing rockets and missiles on Israeli cities and “Demand” that Israel will extend the moratorium regarding building at the settlements as if this is the only thing stopping them from making peace.

And the most important reason:

The Palestinians don’t want peace! – I am not talking about people on the street, I am quite sure that there are many that do, but the politicians – i.e. the hamas, and Islamic Jihad and their leaders are quite happy with how things are. The can always blame Israel for the poverty, lack of food, lack of basic services to people and in fact – everything bad, while they do they incite their people against Israel, the Palestinians believe their leaders and keep voting for them and the wheel goes round.

If there is no war with Israel, there is no reason for the Hamas or Islamic Jihad to exist now is there?

Thats the main reason why peace will never make the middle east it’s home, in countries where militants rule and the masses go after them like a herd of sheep “in the name of allah” there can never be peace.

If I was Mr. Netanyahu – I would decline and not go to any peace talks – until the Palestinians show real sincere intent for making peace. In other words – Show Me you Wanna make peace of STOP wasting my time
