Israeli-Palestinian stalemate set to continue: analysts
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Tuesday that 2010 had been the quietest year regarding attacks against Israel in a long time,nike ken griffey shoes, but he also warned that "a complicated reality continues to surround us."

NO PEACE PROCESS
Helga Baumgarten of the political science department at Birzeit University near Ramallah told Xinhua that it's time to stop talking about a peace process,dunk women boots, since in her view,uggs discount, the process has not existed for many years.
