Chosen. settlements -- and i think the president of the united states have decided to reward such settlement activities and such violations committed by israel, and he himself is violating american positions, violating international law, violating terms of reference provided for for the peace process, and above all providing agreements signed between us and the israelis, not to dictate but rather negotiate issues for permanent status including jerusalem. >> what does that mean? you say focus on ...

Israels claim to jerusalem. while theyre frustrated about that, theyre also frustrated about their own leadership saying, why didnt we get anywhere? why after 25 years of negotiations arent we in a better place? why are there no jobs? why is it that the palestinian authority has been accused of corruption? has been accused of abuses? why is it that our authority hasnt led us to a better place? and now i think a lot of pli palestinians are going through soul searching. frustrated what happened ov...
