Negotiations: Vindicating Israel

A must-read article by Gil Hoffman in the JPost vindicates Israel in the ongoing debate about who killed the 2008 peace talks between Abbas and Olmert:

But a new reading of the documents by a Christian organization in the United States found that unlike the way they were reported, the Palestine Papers actually proved the Israeli point of view correct on all the key issues.

Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East – which bills itself as a liberal, non-Evangelical Christian (mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic) organization focused on bringing facts about the Arab-Israeli conflict to American churches – had a team of researchers read through all of the 1,700 Palestine Papers.

If there ever was a “Read It All,” this is it.

    Obama clueless pressured Israel unjustly. Abu mazen had led Obama and Clinton by the nose. He never intended to negotiate. His joining murderous Hamas that does not recognize Israel, repudiates all agreements previously signed with the Jewish state and is committed to violence & wants to exterminate Israel- a stooge of Iran. is ample proof. The Gayton force on the West Bank will turn it’s guns on Israel once Hamas topples the PA like it did in Gaza. Israel security concerns irresponsibly disregaerded by Obama & Clinton.

      Israel’s security concerns were not “irresponsibly” disregarded by Obama and Hillary Clinton, they were
      deliberately and maliciously disregarded. Barry and Hillary know very well that the U.S.-armed and U.S.-
      trained PA forces in the so-called West Bank will turn their guns on Israel, and the two of them, with
      Samantha Power, Valerie Jarret, and Susan Rice, Louis Farrakhan, Jeremiah Wright, and Rashid Khalidi,
      will dance with joy, as Pete Seeger sings, and William Ayers tramples upon both the American and Israeli
      flags in a White House celebration party, once the shooting starts

    What, you mean the MSM mis-reported the contents of a report hoping no one checked their homework?

    Well, why should the MSM report when the MSM gets the story wrong? If the truth doesn’t fit the narrative they will just avoid reporting it.

    So what’s new? It’s the same each time. A new president and nothing
    changes. The only constant is an Arabist and anti-Semitic State Department(from John Foster Dulles to Hillary Clinton). There was never peace in the Middle East, with or without Israel. The thing that is most amazing is the ability of Iran to encourage Arabs to kill Arabs
    and Muslims to kill other Muslims.

      It takes no talent to encourage the Arabs to kill each other or to kill everyone else. It’s what they do. Their religion indoctrinates them with the desireability of it from childhood. With that kind of a start it takes very little effort to nudge them on down the path.

  4. Here’s what I want to read:
    !! Newsflash !! Newsflash !! Newsflash !!

    Israel re-occupies Gaza Strip, West Bank, Golan Heights and retakes the Sinai. Palestinians are forced to exodus from Gaza Strip, West Bank and Golan Heights into Lebanon. Israel begins immediate building of settlements in Gaza Strip, West Bank and Golan Heights and invites Jews from around the word to immigrate to Israel.

    Liberals in America gnash their teeth. All other Americans tell the Liberals to drink a hot, steaming cup of …

      Paul,

      American leftist might nash their teeth and be forced to drink their latte, but in Europe, the reaction would be far worse – and deadly.

      The primary issues is that Nazis control the European media from the BBC on down. Their coverage of the war would be Goebbelsesque, painting the Jews as evil scum just like Der Stuermer did. This would whip local Muslims into a genocidal frenzy where they would slaughter defenseless Jews. European governments, afraid of Muslims and in sympathy with their desire to exterminate the Jews once and for all, would do nothing. Israel would then be forced to either let a million European Jews die and do nothing, or launch nuclear weapons, which, the second they land in Paris, would mean annihilation by the French nuclear arsenal.

      Israel would have no choice at that point but to consider this a second Holocaust, that all is lost, and launch a total nuclear retaliation, resulting in the end of “civilization.”

      I expect that once the Israeli invasion of Gaza and Lebanon starts, we would likely come to that point within 72-96 hours.

    You’re not alone, Paul.

      great gods. now I see why Islamist politicals are trying to breed voters in Europe. Seize the arsenals.

    I would suggest that Israel annex a square km of Gaza or the
    West Bank every time there is a terrorist attack. Eventually the problem solves itself.
