78% of Israeli Jews: 'Palestinians' won't see peace agreement as end of conflict

The monthly peace index for August is out, and to me this is the most striking finding.

Peace Agreement as End of Conflict: 78% of Jewish
respondents do not believe that the Palestinians would truly see the
signing of a peace agreement as marking the end of the conflict, while
20% do. 48% of Arab respondents do not believe so either, and 44% do
believe the peace agreement would mark the

And again: Israeli government minister declares 'two-state solution' dead

For the second time in three months, an Israeli government minister has officially declared the 'two-state solution' dead.

A two-state solution is an unrealistic resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel said on Sunday evening as
he helped dedicate two new neighborhoods of 160 homes in the West Bank
settlement of Kedumim.

Ketzaleh: Government agreed to destroy eight communities near Shchem (Nablus) as part of 'interim agreement'

Ayelet Shaked avoids responsibility

The Jewish Home party's Ayelet Shaked has written a letter sharply criticizing the release of 'Palestinian' terrorist murderers as a 'concession' to get the 'Palestinians' to come to the 'negotiating' table. There's just one small problem. She wrote the letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry. The last time I checked, Kerry does not work for Israel and does not represent us. Shaked's party

An 'unparalleled' disgrace, but to leave the government over it?

Jewish Home party MK Nissan Slomiansky slammed Sunday's cabinet decision to release 104 terrorist murderers just to induce the 'Palestinians' to come to the table and talk. But he didn't slam his own party for continuing to sit in the government that made that decision. He slammed the Americans and the West.

“The government’s decision is an unparalleled disgrace,” Knesset
