Lots of scripted negotiation Kabuki theater going on in Ukraine and Israel. On the Ukrainian front, Indian President Modi made a pilgrimage to Kiev to try to talk some sense into the cocaine comedian, Mr. Zelensky, but went away with no agreement or concession from the Ukrainian side. At the same time, Antony Blinken was worming his way between Israel, Egypt and possibly Qatar ,frantically trying to get some acceptance of the US proposal for a ceasefire without taking time to meet with the Hamas negotiators.

These efforts to secure movement on the negotiation front share one thing in common — both are doomed to fail. The Ukrainian incursion into the Kursk region has torpedoed any chance of Moscow entering into negotiations with Kiev. Russia will no longer entertain any overture other than the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. Ukraine’s options are simple and stark — surrender and keep some of Ukraine intact as a nation or continue the war and face political and military annihilation.

The prospects for a negotiated settlement between the Palestinians and the Zionists is equally bleak. Looking back at the history of the supposed peace offerings over the last 87 years, the conventional meme always blames the Palestinians for rejecting a “good deal.” An article in Law & Society from October 2023 — How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the past — is illustrative of this narrative:

If Israel just allowed the Palestinians to have a state of their own, there would be peace in the Middle East, right?
That’s what you hear from ambassadors, European diplomats, and most college professors.

But what if I told you that Israel has already offered the Palestinians a state of their own,
and not just once, but on five separate occasions?
Don’t believe me? Let’s review the record............more.........
