Utterly false. Where the hell do you get your information? The PA unifying with Hamas (which is what triggered Israel's move away from the talks) was never a precondition for anything other than a complete deal breaker for Israel. Hamas is the Palestinian faction most steadfastly opposed to any sort of two state solution, so how the hell can anyone think that this would be a precondition for it?
Not false at all it was back in 2011 or early 2012 when Palestine was making preparations for statehood, Netanyahu stated he could not negotiate with Abbas on the merits of statehood when Abbas did not represent a unified Palestine, and as such Israel would never recognize a Palestine State that wasn't united.

It's not. You're either lying about it, were lied to about it, or grossly misunderstood the entire issue.
Nope its a flip flop, Israels government told Abbas that negotiations on statehood would be off the table until Palestine was united. Now it is united and Israel has refused to discuss anything with them. Very nature of a flip flop.

Um... Israel did no such thing. Certainly not with Hamas.
Israel has had many deals with Hamas over the years, they have to you know why? Because Hamas was the elected governing party Moreover in 2006 Hamas stated they would be willing to recognize an Israeli state based on the 1967 borders. Israel said that this was not possible, and continued to expand its settlement projects.

As opposed to the guys who refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Cause those guys are totally all about peace with Israel. And forming a unity government with them indicates that you want peace too!
And yet Israel refuses to recognize Palestine as a state. Hell they even voted against the motion at the UN...which is crazy since the people of the region never got to vote at the UN on the organization of the state of Israel.
I don't get why you have such biased and erroneous support for Israel. Well I mean I get it, but its like you don't even read news or anything...and while I know you don't do that either, it is baffling that you can blindly support a position based on faulty facts, and historical evidence. But hey to each their own.
