Haaretz Publishes Prof Raphael Israeli Article

“…it is immoral to return to an aggressor the positions from which he might renew his aggression!”

Obama as anti-Semite

Haaretz? Surprise, surprise:

West Bank settlements are good for peace

One of the axioms of the “peace process” is that the settlements are “an obstacle to peace,” as if removing them would instantly bring peace on earth. It’s well known, however, that before 1967 there were no settlements, and no peace – unless, of course, you consider the communities within Israel “settlements,” since the Arabs considered them occupied territory. The greatest contribution of the settlements, then, is that they took the place of Israeli towns as occupied territory, except perhaps for Hamas and considerable parts of the Arab world. Therefore, the formula that removing settlements equals peace is laughable and baseless.

American Jewish “Leaders” to Meet With The Israel-Hater that they Voted for in the White House

Creepy American Jewish “leaders” (nobody elected them), are rushing to meet with the Israel-hater in the White House that they voted for. Of course, nobody in this group will admit to their mind-numbing naivete; once again illustrating, like in 1944, that American Jewish Organizations and most American Jews cannot be depended on to defend the interests of the Jewish people.But they can be depended on to hit you up for money to pay for their jobs.  NeoconExpress

Saeb Erekat: ‘Palestinians’ have time

Carl in J’lem

And you thought – because Barack Hussein Obama told you – that it’s urgent to reach a ‘Middle East peace.’ So urgent that European chief diplomat Javier Solana says if Israel doesn’t give in to the ‘Palestinians’ quickly enough, the ‘international community’ will have to impose a final solution.

Now, Saeb Erekat, ‘Palestinian’ chief bottle washer negotiator disagrees.

* Barack Obama set to meet Mahmoud Abbas today
• Israel rejects demand to end settlement construction

Muslim POTUS pushes Islamic agenda:

Obama greets Abbas with a gift: “a toughly-worded, categorical US demand for Israel to stop settlements in Palestinian territories”

There was, of course, no corresponding gift to Netanyahu — only challenges to make various accommodations.

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel dismissed on Thursday a blunt US call for a halt to all Jewish settlement building on occupied Palestinian land, the latest sign Washington is hardening its tone towards its close ally. More>>

What settlement freeze commitment? 

By Ted Belman

Everyone assumes that Israel is committed to freezing settlement activity without preconditions. Not so. Here’s why.

The Roadmap demanded that Israel “immediately dismantle settlement outposts erected since March 2001″ and provided that “Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freeze all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)”.

The Mitchell Report was prepared in response to the terror unleashed by Arafat, after he turned down Barak’s genererous offer at Camp David. It’s goal was to make recommendations to end the violence.

It is important to understand the context and the wording of the Mitchell Report because the settlement freeze demanded by the Roadmap had to be consistent with it.
