PUFFED RICE:

Gaza border crossings deal agreed (Staff and agencies, November 15, 2005, Guardian Unlimited)

Israeli and Palestinian officials today agreed a deal on border crossings in the Gaza Strip, said Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state.

The agreement followed all-night negotiations Ms Rice brokered after postponing a trip to Asia to ensure the deal was finalised before she left.

She said: "I am pleased to be able to announce today that Israel and the Palestinian authorities have approved an agreement on access."

Busybody: There's no sense being more Sharon than Sharon, or more Israeli than the Israelis. The Israelis don't have total control, but they do have the right to object to specific vehicles being allowed through. More to the point, as with all Israeli/Pali deals, if the PA doesn't keep up its end of the bargain, the IDF can move right in.

They DONT have the right

They must check with the US first and WAIT for a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When have the Palis EVER lived up to an agreement, EVER?

What do you want to bet this will be used to ferry terrorists into Israel and when and if Israel reacts

IT WILL BE THE FAULT OF ISRAEL

Rice has turned out to be like all Sec of States

Accords/Agreements UBER ALLES!

Until there is a Palestine they needn't live up to agreements, they can't be held accountable.

Concessions and appeasement?

Q. When have they ever been useful as anything but propaganda tools?

A. Never.

Until there is a Palestine they [the Arabs] needn't live up to agreements, they can't be held accountable.

So then what's the point of negotiating with them at all?
