Of course, Benjamin Netanyahu is re-elected,  peace efforts remain stalled  because he  is opposed to peace in Mideast, but any other Jew becomes primer, the situation would not be different either, it could even be worse; because Israeli leaders are essentially criminals are illegal settlers on alien lands seeking to  kill Palestinians and take to their remaining lands.  

Like his predecessors, Netanyahu also says” talks” should resume without preconditions but on its own terms , while he uses military criminals to kill Palestinians and refuses any freeze on construction, as demanded even by US president B. Obama,  in Palestine.  Israeli-Palestinian “peace talks” broke down shortly before Netanyahu's election in early 2009 and have remained frozen throughout his term, mostly due to the dispute over Israel's construction of settlements in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. The Palestinians claim the areas, along with the Gaza Strip, for a future state. Israel captured the areas in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians have demanded that Israel halt settlement construction before negotiations can resume, saying the continued building is a show of bad faith. Arrogant and fanatic mindset of Israeli leadership thus failed to bring about substantive negotiations resulting in real peace conditions.

For years together , Israel has been dictating its terms to intentional community and world powers by colonizing Palestine. In the 1967 war with its Arab neighbours, Israel captured East Jerusalem and the Old City, and expanded the borders of the city to include strategic high ground. As a result, the size of the city more than tripled virtually overnight. Israel annexed the whole area, proclaiming a united Jerusalem as its eternal and undivided capital. But the international community never recognized that annexation beyond the pre-1967 border, also known as the Green Line due to the colour of magic marker that was used to draw the map, and considers the expanded portions of the city to be occupied land.

While much of East Jerusalem remains predominantly Arab, the Jewish presence there has expanded to roughly 200,000. Jewish “neighbourhoods” have been established in areas that drive a wedge between Arab areas of East Jerusalem and the West Bank, in what some say is a calculating political game akin to tick-tack-toe. The cumulative effect, say Palestinians and their supporters, is that it is becoming increasing impractical to establish a viable, contiguous Palestinian state with a capital in East Jerusalem.

Armed with illegally obtained nukes and US backing, Israel bluntly rejects a return to its 1967 lines for peace and in order to deny UNSC any chance for peace, Israel keeps expanding illegal colonies in Palestine.  Out of fear, Israel withdrew from Gaza strip in 2005, though but refuses to leave West B because the Fatah party which has influence in this zone has remained pro-Israel. 

The U.N. vote has deep implications as it is bound to change the situation on the ground henceforth.  Opposed by just nine countries, it amounted to a strong international endorsement of the Palestinian position on future borders. It also cleared the way for them to join international agencies to press their grievances against essentially fascist Israel.

Frustrated with the impasse, the Palestinians turned to the United Nations for recognition of an independent state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza.

Having refused to implement the deals agreed with Palestine and having lost its face on UN vote, Israel (Netanyahu) has now accused the Palestinians of bypassing direct negotiations and withheld the Palestine tax money and directly challenged international community with new colonies in Palestine.  Now Israel is waiting for New Year, after election on Jan. 22, to resume the stalled useless talks only to retain significant parts of the West Bank, that the Palestinians believe negotiations would be futile..

Following the UN General Assembly's recognition of "Palestine" as a non-member observer state in November, the slavery status quo as allowed by Israel and its fascist allies like USA-UK terror twins, cannot continue. Palestinians must assume a better status and image internationally.

Emboldened, rightly,  by their newly upgraded human status at the UN, the Palestinians are talking of filing war crimes charges against Israel, staging mass demonstrations in the West Bank, encouraging the international community to impose sanctions, and ending the security cooperation that has helped preserve quiet in recent years. These plans, combined with growing international impatience with Israeli settlement construction on occupied land, could spell trouble and international isolation for the fascist Israeli leaders.

Both Fatah and Hamas have come to realize that they must come together and move ahead in unison to achieve full UN membership, though they are yet to initiate steps to merge both parties intone Palestine organization and form unity government to serve the people. President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement said 2013 will see a new Palestinian political track. There will be new rules in our relationship with Israel and the world. 

Israel depends too much on a number of colonialist tools at its disposal, including military terror or economic pressure on the Palestinians.

New colonial projects of  2,612 new homes to be built on Givat HaMatos, or Airplane Hill in West Bank  under way would make drawing the borders of a future Palestinian state unworkable by fragmenting Palestinian areas, and thus could deal a devastating blow to the two-state solution.

Israel still hopes its former allies in the West, particularly dictatorial America, would likely shield it from any attempt to impose broad international sanctions, at least in the near term.  However, the West, particularly the unilateral USA, would not act now against UN decisions or shield Israel from any attempt for a possible UNSC attack or impose broad international sanctions, at least in the near term. But there are signs that international patience with Israel is wearing thin. There was strikingly sharp anger over the Israeli plan to build thousands of new settler homes in response to the Palestinian bid at the U.N.  The USA, using especially harsh language, accused Israel of engaging in a "pattern of provocative action." All the members of the U.N. Security Council except the U.S. denounced the Israeli settlement plans at a special meeting this week. The European Union has also condemned the planned construction. EU noted that future cooperation agreements would not include territories captured in 1967, including east Jerusalem, which Israel claims as an integral part of its capital. There are fears that individual European states might impose sanctions of their own.

And, Israel said the extent of the international uproar had caught them off guard. An Israeli official said "Something has changed," he said. "Clearly a line has been crossed."

Reality might impose itself in such a way that we will find him doing things, like maybe an interim agreement with the Palestinians or something that seems now unexpected, Israel will make small steps to appease adversaries. And to Netanyahu, the whole world is an adversary.

Observation

Palestine seeks peaceful settlement. The Palestinian officials said they will not rush toward any punitive measure, but they are determined not to stand pat. "We have to prepare ourselves for a long and tough battle," added Yasser Abed Rabbo, secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinians' top decision making body. "We will use all the political tools available." Among the options being considered is halting cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian security forces in the West Bank. There can be no security cooperation between Palestine and Israel as long as there is no political horizon. The Palestinians also talk of increasing "popular struggle". Perhaps most troubling to Israel, the Palestinians also want to use their upgraded status on the world stage to push for international action against Israel. Israeli criminals are  jittery because Palestine will move to join the International Criminal Court, where they hope to pursue war crimes charges against Israel for its settlement activities. Palestine wants the international community to impose sanctions on Israel.

Arab diplomats will present the plan in Western capitals, Russia and China next month.  The Palestinians insistent on a settlement freeze and however hardline the new Israeli coalition headed by Netanyahu or another hawkish illegal settler Jew, Israel cannot now go on as before and would come forward for a real settlement.

Many in Israeli establishment now feel that there is no way the status quo can continue and that Netanyahu also understands that this situation where the unipolar USA was the only one to support Israel cannot go on forever. Netanyahu oe any other leader, after pandering to hard-liners will likely try to bring in a centrist party into his coalition after the vote to give the government an image of moderation to make way for Palestine state without getting bashed by UNSC and NATO. 

In pursuance of UN ruling in favour of Palestine and considering global anger towards its fascist operations for decades, Israel should quickly wind down its fanatic racist colonial ambitions forthwith and end proliferation of illegal settlements in Palestine. The proposed 2,612 new homes to be built on Givat HaMatos, or Airplane Hill in West Bank must be withdrawn as the first step to escape UNSC military action. .

There is no other credible option before Israel. 

Establishment of Palestine state is becoming a positive, warm reality!
