Arab League action certifies Obama/Clinton’s diplomacy: A sham!

Obama’s Cairo speech was designed to appease the Islamic World, it did not. Overtures towards Ahmadinejad were turned down publicly, an outright humiliation of the United States ensued.

The Obama/Clinton foreign policy doctrine once again proves to be a sham. The Arab League, before the ink dried on Obama’s Middle East policy speech, refuted the American President by suggesting, that contrary to Obama’s desires, and clearly stated goals, the issue of sovereign Palestine will go before the United Nations!

Once and again President Obama continues to try diplomacy with the Islamic World, and once and again his efforts are rejected; when will the young American President realize that in spite of his Islamic birth, and exposure to Islam during his formative years, Muslims will not deal with him unless it is on their terms? Since Obama needs the Islamic World (its oil) more than the Islamic World needs him, the American President must find a better way to deal with Islam.

Continuing to supply Arab countries (with oil) with state-of-the-art weaponry, and offering words of appeasement will not get the Islamic World to befriend the United States. The Muslim world does not only reject Obama due to the United States relations with Israel; it rejects the United States because the view the only remaining “super power,” to be a paper tiger. The see President Obama use harsh words about Iran’s nuclear development, but take no credible action. The Arab World is concerned more about Iran’s nuke than it is worries about Israel existence. The issue with Israel has to do with ideology and theory, while the fear of Iran is about the obvious desire of Ahmadinejad and no less importantly, the Ayatollahs, to dominate the Islamic World. The Arab nations are particularly worried because Iranians are not Arabs, and Iran’s Islam is Shia, not the main-stream Sunni.

Concrete steps by the Obama Administration to eliminate Iran’s threat rather than rhetoric about diplomacy would go a long way towards improving the relations between the United States and the Arab World. If the Administration of Barak Obama can demonstrate its ability to use its “super-power,” to eliminate Iran’s threats, not only will the United States gain credibility, the volatile situation in the Middle East could be put under control.

The Obama Administration must cease to be a paper tiger and show that it can, and it is willing to use its “super-power,” to bring about more rational relations with the world, especially the Islamic World.

Egypt botder opening, starting the process of annexing Gaza to Egypt

As time moves on, it becomes more clear that there is no wisdom in creating a Palestinian state. The ultimate Palestinian solution is to annex the West bank to Jordan, Gaza to Egypt, and simply dissolve refugee camps in Lebanon, and absorb their population.

Opening the Rafa crossing is likely to be the first move towards annexing Gaza to Egypt…

Rafa opening: First step towards annexing Gaza to Egypt!

With every day that goes by it becomes more obvious that a sovereign Palestine will not materialize!

The recent opening of of the Rafa border by the new Egyptian regime is a clear indication for things to come, the first step towards annexing Gaza to the “new Egypt…”

Facts [on the ground]: Obama is Israel’s friend!

One may ask: What is a friend? A friend is someone with whom you may sometimes disagree, but with whom you have common goals, and a common purpose, it is someone to whom you are loyal throughout life. A friend is someone one mutually respect, and someone who one would support through adversity, as well as through good times. Israel, and the United States, for the just over sixty years of Israel’s life, have proven to be such friends.

Early Obama rhetorics would suggest that the young American President is responsible for a declining United States support of Israel; facts on the ground prove differently! Barak Hussein Obama, since entering office, made sure that all of Israel’s security needs are met, the young President even made it possible for Israel to actively deploy the “iron-shield*,” and likely supply the systems to support United States troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama’s appeasing Cairo speech to the Islamic World, his Islamic birth and exposure to Islamic culture during his formative years, suggest that Obama is not a friend of Jews, Judaism, or the State of Israel. Facts of the grounds do not support this notion. Indications are, that Obama’s desire to associate and deal with the Islamic World in a peaceful and diplomatic manner, is more due to naiveté than it is for a sympathy for that religion, and its morés…

Since early in Obama’s Administration key influences were Zionist Jews! Rham Emanuel, chief of staff, a man with strong Israeli roots who served in Israel, and David Axelrod, a man who many credit with Obama’s election strategy, and who always has the President’s ear, were but two very strong pro-Israel influences within the Obama Administration. With such influences, Obama might have simply chose the prudent way, and toned down pro-Israel rhetorics in order not to make the public believe that “Jews are running the country.”

Now that Axelrod and Emanuel are gone from the Administration, Barak Hussein Obama is more open in his support for Israel. In Obama’s “Middle East” speech, the President stated more support for Israel than anyone could imagine. Even though Netanyahu objected to some of Obama’s stated views, the speech was, for lack of better words: A Zyonist speech!

Obama’s several references to Jewish Israel, answered two important questions. Since Israel cannot be a Jewish state with refugees return, that issue, in Obama’s mind is put to bed: No “right of return,” for Palestinians. And, since Jewish Israel must have united Jerusalem as its capital, the American President all but openly supported that notion.

Obama then spoke of state boundaries based on pr-1967 lines, but he made it clear that they must be modified and be defensible for the State of Israel!

In summary: In Obama, Israel has a friend in the White House. The “friend” may be young and naive, thinking that the likes of Ahmadinejad can be negotiated with, but, Islamic roots, sympathies, and perhaps instincts, and all, Obama is a strong supporter of the State of Israel, and of Zyonism!

No withstanding some media coverage, and in spite of a number of low-points, relations between the United States and Israel is as strong, perhaps stronger than ever.  The fact that in spite of such ill-conceived actions as Israel’s announcing of approval for new settlements during Vice President Biden’s visit, and Obama’s snubbing Netanyahu during one of his visits to Washington, President Obama Middle East speech, and his actions on the ground demonstrate an unwavering support of Israel by the Obama Administration!

Israel neighbors to absorb “Palestinians!” No Palestinian state…

Since there never were a Palestine, nor a Palestinian state, why now?
Those Palestinians on the “West Bank,” are truly Jordanians, and should be absorbed by Jordan; those in Gaza should become a part of Egypt, and those in Lebanon to be let out of camps and into Lebanon’s society.
No Palestinian state! Why re-invent history?

Obama: Global community must recognize Israel as sovereign Jewish State

On May 19, 2001, President Barak Hussein Obama made it clear that the Arab World, as well as the Global Community, must recognize and accept Israel as a sovereign Jewish state.

For the first time ever, the United States, as Israel always has, is on record that Israel must be accepted, and formally recognized, as a sovereign Jewish state!

In summary: Before Mideast peace talks that deal with Israel and the Palestinians, the Palestinians, including Hamas and el Fatah, must formally recognize Israel as a sovereign Jewish state; and agree that it has legal right to exist!

Mideast peace contingent on global recognition that Israel is: A democratic Jewish state; and is here to stay!

Before any additional work on Mideast peace is done, the global community must call a spade a spade and accept that: Israel is a Jewish democracy, and a member in good standing of the global community, and of the United Nations.

Until Islamic, especially Islamic-Arab states, as well as the rest of the global community, are willing to formally accept Israel as sovereign, viable, and independent Jewish democracy, and as a vital member of the global community, there will not be peace in the Middle East.

George Mitchell resigned because he realized that additional work on peace in the Middle East is futile unless there is acceptance of Israel as a sovereign [Jewish] country that will NOT go away. Until Hamas, el Fatah, Hezbollah, and their sponsors, such as Syria and Iran, are willing to change their charters and to formally accept Israel as a viable Jewish state, a state that is there to stay, there will not be peace in the Middle East, notwithstanding all work and good will by the Obama Administration.

Obama naivete’: Israeli Palestinian talks “more vital than ever…” President Obama, there are NO Palestinians, nor sovereign Palestins!

Obama naiveté:

Again demonstrating his inability to deal with realities on the ground in favor of theory, and his dreams.

There is NO viable Palestinian representation to speak with Israel!  Unless, and until, Arab Palestinians are willing to recognize and accept Israel right to exist as a Jewish state, Israel has no Palestinian Arabs with whom to negotiate. Wake up President Obama, considering Israeli Palestinian talks under present conditions, is a sure route to another disaster; Mitchell’s resignation was essentially that message.

As things stand Israel can only negotiate with Jordan, since neither Egypt, nor the Palestinians have legitimate representatives, and even in the case of Jordan, that Monarchy is bound to be terminated within the forseeable future.

Mideast policy should preclude a sovereign Palestine. The policy should accept that Palestine (with the exception of Gaza,) is a part of Jordan,  and that Gaza is a part of the new Egypt, whatever that turns out to be.

Pushing for an Israeli Palestinian peace now is totally without merit since there is not going to be a sovereign Palestine, except perhaps under UN vote, a situation that will be very short-lived.

Wake up, Obama, pushing for Israeli Palestinian talks, is the wrong thing to do. Peace in the Mideast will require  that Palestinians be absorbed by neighbouring Arab states (Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon,) and that Iran undergoes a regime change. Trying to deal with Iran in a diplomatic manner, and getting Israel to speak with the Palestinians, is a formula for disaster.
