My Way News - G-8 to Israel: end settlements, open borders

AP reports: "The Quartet of Mideast negotiators and foreign ministers of the Group of Eight industrialized nations took advantage of what the U.N. chief said was a 'historic' opportunity with the new Obama administration in issuing nearly identical calls for the resumption of direct peace talks, an end to violence, and economic reconstruction for war-battered Gaza."

Comment: There is a very high level of international agreement to remain willfully delusional about the peaceful intentions of the Palestinians and to stubbornly insist that Israel continue to make more concessions. The eight countries of the G8 along with Russia and representatives of the E.U. and U.N. are pressing ahead with a plan that places the burden of peacemaking on Israel without asking for any substantial concessions from the Palestinians. Israel already gave up Gaza, what have the Palestinians given?
