Looks like the big legacy-builder in Annapolis will be a failure just as surely as every prior peace conference has been. Why? Because the Terrorstinian Anarchy has declared its official negotiating policy to be intransigence.

The PA legislature has passed the first reading of a law forbidding any concessions in, or even negotiations regarding, Jerusalem. Ahmed Bahar, a leading Hamas member and the Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian Authority parliament, announced Thursday that the body had passed a first reading of a "Jerusalem bill." The legislation, proposed by Hamas parliament member Ahmed Abu Hilbiya, absolutely bans giving up any part of Jerusalem.

The bill states that Jerusalem, according to its "borders recognized during the period of the Islamic Khalifate," is "Palestinian, Arab, Islamic land." It further avers that all of Jerusalem, "including its archaeological sites and the sites that are holy to Islam and Christianity, are waqf (dedicated in sanctity) for Palestinian, Arab and Islamic generations." This would appear to include not only the Temple Mount, but also the Western Wall, the Jewish Quarter, and the City of David.

The new PA bill also states that it is forbidden to discuss, cede, or negotiate over any part of Jerusalem, or hold a referendum on this matter - and that if such negotiations or votes are held, they are null and void in advance. Anyone who violates the above provisions on behalf of the PA will be considered guilty of treason, the bill states, and will be liable to the relevant punishments.

When will the Israeli government and the leaders of the civilized world learn that negotiation with the Terrorstinians and their fellow Islamists is a fruitless endeavor. When will they recognize that there can be no compromise with those whose position is the destruction of the Jews. They don’t want a settlement – they want it all.

The time has come for Israel to write a similar provision into its laws. After all – the Israeli claim is based upon a longer history – and the Terrorstinians are merely the seed of those who have repeatedly defiled the Jewish and Christian holy places by their presence.
