Rice admits PA won't accept Israel, forges ahead anyway

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday admitted that there is no evidence the new "Palestinian" unity government is ever going to comply with international demands that it recognize Israel's right to exist and renounce terrorism.

Speaking to reporters after what was described as a "hard" meeting with PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas, Rice said:

"I haven't seen anything to date to suggest this is a government that meets the [international peace] principles."

Nevertheless, Rice forged ahead with implementing the Bush administration's policy of severing Israel's biblical heartland and handing it over to this terrorist entity in the name of "peace."

She said that despite the positions of his terrorist governing partners, Washington will not cut ties with Abbas.
