The PLO/PA is working with Israel in an effort to achieve the creation of an Arab state called Palestine on historic Jewish lands before the end of the year.

PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas said Wednesday, as reported in Ha'aretz, that his negotiators are discussing all the so-called core issues, "without exception: Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, borders, and security" with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

"We are all pressing to reach a settlement by the target date" which is 2008, Abbas said.

A senior spokesman for the veteran terror chief said Abbas planned to head to Washington next month to try and persuade US President George W. Bush to squeeze Israel into moving at a pace better suited to the Arab side.

Before then, Abbas will meet in Amman with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who will then visit with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem in an effort to pressure more concessions and movement out of Israel.

Recent weeks have seen Israel outflanked and out-maneuvered by the united efforts of western leaders who, while swearing friendship and security to the Jewish state, have relentlessely pushed Israel into bowing to their land-for-peace diktat.

As of this date, not a single nation on earth stands with Israel against this brazen and injust international attempt to rob her of her land.
