The Zionist have nothing to gain from peace.

Can anyone tell me what they have to gain from peace?

Can anyone tell me how peace would help the Zionist agenda?

I can tell you how much Palestinians have to gain from peace.

Can anyone tell me how the US can help with the peace process if the US have unlimited support for the Zionist regime? Wouldn't those negotiations end up being one sided?

Can anyone tell me why Iran isn't part of the negotiations to make it fair?

These negotiations will fail, Palestinians need to call for their own state unilateral, and controle their own borders.

Long live the resistance!
