Mitchell to Meet Netanyahu Friday; Won't Go to Gaza
(IsraelNN.com) United States Middle East envoy George Mitchell is scheduled to meet with Opposition Leader Binyamin Netanyahu on Friday. Following a meeting with Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah on Thursday, Mitchell repeated his called for open crossings into Gaza and greater Fatah involvement there.

Speaking in place of Abu Mazen, senior PA negotiator Saeb Erekat said that Abbas told Mitchell of his eagerness to form a unified regime with Hamas. Due to the American boycott of Hamas, which it officially recognizes as a terrorist entity, Mitchell is not going to visit Gaza during his current Middle Eastern tour. Prior to his departure from the US, there had been talk of his visiting the Hamas-controlled area without talking to Hamas.

1. He should go to Gaza and see the extent of Israel's crimes against humanity
Those frakers won't ever give up one inch of their evil settlements, they are as dangerous to the world as Al-Qaeda, and must be treated in the same manner.
