PA Accuses Clinton of Taking Bribes -Itamar Marcus & Barbara Crook
The official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, which is controlled by the office of Mahmoud Abbas, accused Secretary of State Clinton of taking bribes from Israel.
"Why, Mrs. Hillary? How much did the Zionists pay you as a bribe?" taunted an article. Al-Hayat Al-Jadida also ran a cartoon reiterating the Palestinian claim that the U.S. is controlled by Jews.

Another example that there will be no peace until the Palestinians really want it. I can understand the position that all settlements must stop---but as a condition, perhaps, of a final peace agreement. Ms. Clinton is right that Israel made enough large concessions to reasonable restart negotiations.
My opinion is that the Palestinians do not really want a state...they want Israel...gone.
