How About A "Gesture" To Jews?

Concession to PA Prisoners A 'Gesture' to Abbas

The deal that ended the hunger strike by Palestinian Authority prisoners is a “gesture” to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, the PMO says.

The deal that ended the hunger strike by hundreds of Palestinian Authority prisoners in Israel is a goodwill gesture to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, the Prime Minister's Office says.
Speaking for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, spokesman Mark Regev on Monday night called the deal brokered by Egyptian mediators a "confidence-building" gesture.

Insane, totally insane. "Confidence-building" for whom.  It seems to me that the Arabs are much too over-confident already. Bibi must think we're "in his pocket."  I'd like to see a "goodwill gesture" to law-abiding Jewish citizens instead of Arab terrorists.  Is this really another stab at "peace," sic?

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday rejected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's offer to resume negotiations without preconditions, prolonging the long-standing impasse in the peace process.

The cool reception bodes poorly for hopes of the resumption of peace talks between the Palestinians and Netanyahu, who fortified his ruling coalition last week by bringing in the main opposition party.

Netanyahu's alliance with the centrist Kadima Party raised speculation that he might make a more generous proposal to the Palestinians now that he no longer has to rely on hard-line nationalists to keep his governing coalition intact.

Why do our Prime Ministers keep trying to do the impossible, turn turd into gold? 

The main job of the Prime Minister of the State of Israel is to make life better here for Jews, not Arabs and certainly not Arab terrorists.  We Jews should be encourage, not just allowed, to live anywhere in the Land of Israel!  Today, I traveled from Shiloh to Kochav Hashachar just southeast of us.  That part of the Jordan Valley is so empty.  There's room for millions of Jews.
