A Silver Lining for Palestine?
Samer Araabi | Posted: October 31, 2011 For decades, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been mired in stalemate. Countless peace overtures over the past 30 years have fallen apart for one reason or another, and the basis for many of these negotiations—the division of the territory into two distinct states—is becoming increasingly impossible as a result of demographic changes both inside Israel’s 1948 borders and in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Frustrated by the failure of international players—and the United States in particular—to act as neutral and effective arbiters, the Palestinian Authority recently put in motion a plan to unilaterally declare statehood.[1] Despite the fact that this objective is in line with long-standing U.S. foreign policy, the response by many Washington pundits and policymakers has been remarkably vitriolic. |

Again... Blaming the US... but the world loves Obama, right? |

Again... Blaming the US... but the world loves Obama, right? Obama's stance on Palestine has been remarkably different and that is why the world loves Obama and the follow on from that is The World Loves America...

Given the amount of time and energy Palestine has invested into terrorism, suicide bombings, etc, why on earth would anyone think they deserve statehood?...Of course US vetoed, we are against terrorism, against terrorists...Abbas is aligned with Hamas! Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel!...There can be no statehood until or unless Palestine denounces terror and disassociates from any and all terrorists groups..... |

Never mind the Terrorism of 23 Days and Nights of F16s Bombing and killing.
What effect has that had on children for instance or are they terrorists as well. Some people never cease to amaze me. Mostly Men but when the women join???? |

US government and Israel remind me of a father and son relationship.
US:Did those meanie Pals mess with you again. Israel:Yes daddy they did. US:Ah ok heres some guns,tanks and F-15s.Please use them only when needed. Israel:Yes daddy it's kosher.Wait what about Iran? US:Don't worry as soon as we get a "slam dunk" proof of them having a WMD i'll invade and you can just kick back and watch daddy's employees go to work. Israel:Oh daddy your the best daddy ever. |
