Letter to The Washington Post

Dear Editor, In "Kerry, Netanyahu see steps toward new peace talks" (4/10/13), The Washington Post states that "Netanyahu is considered hostile to negotiations despite public assurances that he would talk under the right conditions." May I ask The Washington Post staff, who or what entity considers Netanyahu hostile to negotiations, other than The Washington Post, of course? What evidence did The Washington Post staff use to come to their conclusion? What scientific report or data does the Post use to support this accusation? Is the Post not aware that Netanyahu offered unparalleled compromises to bring the Palestinians to the table, only for his measures to be ignored. The Israeli Prime Minister has stated that he will negotiate with the Palestinians anytime and at anyplace. What part of that statement can be "considered" hostile to negotiations? Michael Berenhaus
