2. And don't forget Bibi's hand in the mess.

3. Except his negotiation consists of

A. Fuck off
B. Fuck off very much.
C. Fuck off and I choose how to slice it.
D. Fuck off, just to show who is boss, I am taking the knife.

4. The Palestinian negotiators can't even follow through on their agreement to not comment

during the negotiations.

So clearly the Palestinian leadership is not taking the negotiations seriously and have no desire to move the peace process forward.
