    I think you need to check your record.

    The Palestinian Authority since Abbas became its leader, have renounced violence. Its why they were voted in, to have UN observer status. He even called upon Hamas to renounce violence.

    But Netanyahu wanted an extremist Hamas, so he could argue they don't want peace.

    Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for the Islamic militant group Hamas to renounce violence. Mr. Abbas is also warning Israel that unilateral moves to demarcate its borders will lead to a deepening crisis.

    In a speech to mark Nakba, what the Palestinians call their day of mourning to commemorate the loss of their homeland with the establishment of Israel, Mr. Abbas called for Hamas to avoid fiery speeches and slogans that bring about isolation.

    The Palestinian President also called for Israel not to move unilaterally to set its own border. Mr. Abbas says if Israel sets its borders on its own the region will experience a deeper spiral of violence.

    Senior Israeli officials said last week they could demarcate their final border by 2008 and will only wait until the end of this year to see if Palestinians are willing to negotiate a border.

    Israeli officials also say no negotiations will take place unless the Hamas-dominated Palestinian government agrees to recognize Israel - something Hamas refuses to do.

    President Abbas is visiting Russia this week for talks with President Vladimir Putin aimed at reviving a dialogue with Israel. They are also to discuss resolving how to provide funds to ease a growing humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories, while bypassing the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Authority.

    Russia is a key member of the so-called Middle East Peace Quartet; along with the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations. Last week the Quartet said it would establish a temporary financial mechanism to funnel aid to the Palestinians.

    But differences have surfaced since then over whether the salaries of Palestinian Authority employees would be paid under the plan - something the U.S. opposes, saying that would amount to direct aid flowing to Hamas.

    Unity Palestinian government will reject violence: Abbas

    Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas says the new unity government he will head will reject violence but Israel is rejecting his claims.

    Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas says the new unity government he is set to head with the backing of Hamas will reject violence and recognise Israel and existing agreements.
    Israel, however, has slammed his Saturday speech to the Palestine Liberation Organisation's Central Council as a "coup de grace" to the peace process.
    The PLO body had convened to chart a course of action after Israel suspended US-brokered peace talks in response to a reconciliation deal with the Islamist Hamas movement.

    The agreement between the rival Palestinian factions came as the United States and Israel had hoped to extend the faltering peace talks beyond their April 29 deadline.
    Israel said it would not negotiate with a government backed by Hamas, the armed Islamist movement ruling the Gaza Strip, which is pledged to the destruction of the Jewish state and has always rejected peace talks.
    "The upcoming government will obey my policy," Abbas told the PLO council.

    Guess who (Netanyahu) was sending money to Hamas at the same time, as bagging them???

    Netanyahu has been the obstacle to peace. He deliberately created the wedge between Palestinian Authority and Hamas, funded Hamas despite its Charter, and despite its wars against Israel - with the objective of destroying the Two-State Solution.
