A senior Palestinian official said the Palestinians are ready to drop their demand for a complete settlement freeze to get peace talks with Israel back on track.
Talks have been stalled since September over Palestinian demands for a halt to all Israeli housing construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
In the absence of negotiations, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has agreed to reconcile with the rival Hamas militant group and pledged to ask the UN for recognition of their independence.
But with both of those efforts now in trouble, the official said the Palestinians are willing to tolerate limited settlement construction if Israel accepts a recent peace plan floated by President Barack Obama.

So much for all the chest thumping. Now this aging terrorist and Holocaust denier should grow a pair and tell the Palestinian Arabs what we all know is the truth: there will be no Palestinian state or prosperity without substantial compromises with Israel on virtually all their demands.
