Shimon Peres speaking in Argentina:
"If the Palestinians negotiate this issue with patience and seriousness, they will win what they want. Because we want to have a Palestinian state, because we don’t want to dominate the Palestinians, because we don’t ask for their land," Peres said.
Shimon, everyone knows you don’t "ask" for Palestinian land. You’ve always seemed pretty content to just take it.
Peres also added that Palestinians need to "show that they control their own people" before being allowed to have an independent state.
Update – Netanyahu doesn’t want to be left out. From the Associated Press:
Netanyahu reiterated his call for an immediate resumption of peace talks and criticized the Palestinians for refusing to return to the table.
"I hope the Palestinians answer our calls for negotiations," he said. "The Palestinians have groomed themselves with unrealistic expectations."
