"Israel has to work toward a two-state solution," declared Vice-President Joe Biden today in a speech to the annual conference of a powerful pro-Israel lobby group in Washington.
"You're not going to like my saying this," he warned the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) before adding that the Jewish state should not build any more settlements on Palestinian territory, and should "dismantle existing outposts and allow Palestinians freedom of movement".
There are, in the West Bank and Gaza 3 Palestinian movements. One movement is led by the Holocaust Denier/Minimizer Abbas, who only in April again asserted that while the Palestinian Authority may sign agreements which recognize Israel, he has no right to enforce this on the people or other movements. The other two movements are Hizballah and HAMAS. So there's certainly nothing to discuss there. More the idea that a peace deal with this batch will HELP with Iran is too stupid to believe, 2 out of 3 ARE the IRGC. They are Iran.
It is clear that to Obama, Israel is Czechslovakia, and the West Bank and Gaza the Sudetenland.
Meanwhile in the capital of the nation we are 'engaging with our dialog', Syria, the president of Iran says ..
"The Zionist occupiers are destructive microbes, because Zionism itself is occupation, aggression, the use of assassination and annihilation," he told a joint news conference with President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian capital.
"Zionism was created to threaten us. To support the Palestinian resistance is a humanitarian and popular obligation," Ahmadinejad said in remarks in Farsi that were translated into Arabic.
"Syria and Iran are united in supporting the Palestinian resistance."
Syria also is claiming that H5N1 (swine) flu is an american product.Progress on all fronts, eh.
What are other leaders thinking of all this? What are they thinking in other intelligence agencies? What are they going to keep to themselves?
I guess then it should be no surprise that Israel reacts this way..
"Whether or not Israel got the green light from Washington to attack Iran is almost immaterial, as everybody in the region would believe that the U.S. was complicit," said Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
One U.S. diplomat envisaged Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak telephoning Pentagon chief Robert Gates, unannounced, "to give a heads-up and explain" once the mission were under way.
Since Biden was so idiotic and dhimmish that he wanted to pay jizya to the Mullahs after americans had been killed in 2001, is there ANYONE in Israel who would trust the VP of the US with a moment's advance knowledge of an attack?
With each statement and admonishment, with every lack of undertstanding of the nature of the Palestinian desires, this administration brings regional war closer. There may be nothing anyone can do to prevent this, but Obama and his remarkably stupid and dangerous ideas are being noted by those who DO understand, and wonder what else he lacks the ability to move correctly on.
