Talkback
Title:Encouragement sounds positve..Is it.?

Far too many contentious and unrelated factors.
The right of return.? To where.? To Jaffa,Haifa.?
That alone is stunning.
Who will accept the above, apart from the PLO.
Then comes the total freezing of childbirth on the settlements. That is one way to see it, or is there another side to the story.
So, what we have is the return of some 3.5 million Palestinians of which the majority were born in foreign countries.
Israel has to give up more land, that is return to the 1967 borders and then assimilate a further 3.5 million into what is now the State of Israel.
To many it sounds great, to Israel its somewhat madness.
We are told that Iran is under control, by the US, that its a separate issue.
Maybe the PLO are encouraged. So are Hamas and Hezbollah, for they see the writing on the wall.
Well, I do not for a moment see an encouragement anywhere, except in the minds of those negotiators who still believe that the world is a flat surface floating on an iceberg.
Good day from Switzerland.
