We've chosen a controversial / interesting entry that appeared on our site (talkback, blog, etc...) and we want to know what you have to say about it. TODAY'S HOT POTATO: Taken from article: The 'Jewish Israel' genie Talkback #: 4 Talkbacker: Y. Kreminsky - Israel Text: They don't know the first thing about it: Negotiation is an ADVERSARIAL process -- you never negotiate with a "partner". There's no place in negotiations for "confidence building measures" -- that's for forming partnerships. When negotiating, you don't defer the toughest issues for last -- you start with them. You can't negotiate with someone who doesn't respect you -- and the Palestinians have only the grossest disrespect for Israel and the Jewish People. To hell with "negotiating" with them. What do you think? The ball is in your court now. Click here to respond Previous Hot Potatos
