Article: Why the Current Israeli Government Will Not Negotiate - Very briefly, this column reprises several columns that I have written on the subject since 2006. During that time, most of the Israeli governments have refused to countenance any kind-of Two-State Solution, and conditions for the Palestinian (on paper citizens of the State of Israel) have steadily gotten worse. This column reprises earlier ones and adds a bit of new material at the end. Only US pressure can change things.
