Now I don't know if your respective countries are reporting about these.
But, recently a bunch of documents have been released that 'exposes' elements of the 'peace process' in the ME between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Basically, what I have gleened from the papers. Is that the PA was willing to give Isreal just about anything it wanted except W.Jerusalem. Israel declined and made no counter offer. The US has also stated that it will only deal with the PA. No other organisation will be alowed to represent the palestinian people.
However if you look at the way it's being reported, it appears that the PA is doing nothing, and willing to concede so much to Israel that they might as well be working for Israel.
Now I'm sure the PA has made some demands. But, it's a big read and alot to digest and ponder.
But, in my onion, these released documents undermine the PA something fierce. The source of these documents have yet to be identified publicly, to 'protect' the source. But, from what I've read. These papers benifit only one entity. Now who would benifit from massive infighting between palestinian factions? Who would want to instigate massive instability within the paletinian people? Who would want to see an armed dispute between the PA and Hamas? Who would need to intervene to protect itself?
Whats that old saying? Divide and conquer?

shooosh? you havent seen me,i know nothing from January 23 - 26, -- the PA's willingness to concede all East Jerusalem settlements except one; -- PA "creativ(ity)" about Islam's third holiest site, Haram al-Sharif (Nobel Sanctuary), what Jews call the Temple Mount; -- compromise on the right of return, suggesting abandonment beyond token amounts; -- numerous details of PA-Israeli "cooperation," suggesting complicity and unconditional surrender to Israeli demands; and -- private late 2009 PA-US negotiator exchanges when Goldstone Report discussions were ongoing at the UN. BBC headlined, "Excepts: Leaked Palestinian 'proposals,' " saying: Their negotiators offered unprecedented concessions, including willingness "to accept Israel's annexation of all but one of its settlements built illegally in occupied East Jerusalem." They also "show how the Palestinians offered concessions on" Haram. "They could not be independently verified and the chief Palestinian negotiator has dismissed them as a 'pack of lies.' " The last refuge of a scoundrel caught red-handed is lying about it, revealing even greater treachery. On January 23, London Guardian writers Seumas Milne and Ian Black headlined, "Secret papers reveal slow death of Middle East peace process," saying: Offered concessions sent "shockwaves (across Occupied Palestine and) the wider Arab world." Revelations include: -- unprecedented "confidential concessions," including on some of the most sensitive issues; -- Israeli leaders asking "some Arab citizens to be transferred to a new Palestinian state;" -- intimate "covert cooperation between Israeli security forces and the" PA; -- British intelligence's "central role (in) drawing up a secret plan to crush Hamas...;" -- how PA "leaders were privately tipped off about" Cast Lead, showing their complicity and willingness to go along; as well as much more.

Hmm. Food for thought. I think I heard something about this on one of the cable news stations. I only halfassed listened because I was on the phone. Haven't seen anything else about it.
