The latest drama in the Peace Farce is Bibi’s insistence that the PA must accept Israel as a Jewish state…
Netanyahu offers settlement freeze in return for recognition as Jewish state, Palestinians say no
Prime minister says Israel will extend settlement freeze if the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, Abbas spokesman says ‘issue of Jewishness of the state has nothing to do with the matter.’
The Jpost had this charming headline today…
‘If PA rejects Jewish state, authorize West Bank building’
Settler leaders call on PM to issue new Jewish West Bank building tenders in response to PA’s rejection; Efrat Council head tells ‘Post’ we understand that there is no partner for negotiations."
Now, to it’s credit, the Israeli Left and the moderates are starting to push back hard against the ‘Loyalty Oath’ bill…
Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni…
Livni: Loyalty oath amendment is ‘politics at its worst’
Controversial loyalty oath amendment sparks condemnation from a range of Israeli politicians; MK Tibi: Israel is a democracy for Jews, but not for Arabs.
The Intelligence minister, Dan Meridor had this to say…
‘Israel should treat its minorities the way we always wanted to be treated’
Intelligence minister Dan Meridor says requiring loyalty oath to ‘Jewish and democratic state’ will alienate Arab public in Israel.
And, once again, Gideon Levy hits it out of the ballpark…
The Jewish Republic of Israel
Swearing an oath to a Jewish state will decide its fate. It is liable to turn the country into a theocracy like Saudi Arabia.
Now, recently, the Peace Farce drama has shifted the center stage to the Arab League and their subsequent meeting in Sirte, Libya. Hamas told the Arab League…
Hamas has called on Arab leaders meeting in Sirte, Libya to make a decisive resolution that lives up to the size of Israel’s attacks against the Palestinian people.
The movement voiced its surprise over Arab leaders who insisted on continuing pointless negotiations despite the failure of the talks, at a time when the Palestinian people are exposed to Israel’s violations.
Hamas said the alleged peace option should be reevaluated, and its failure should be exposed.
The movement also called for formulation of a new Palestinian-Arab strategy that focuses on the resistance option and preserves the rights of the Palestinians.
It called on Arabs to back national reconciliation efforts to restore the unity of the Palestinians based on preservation of national rights.
Abu Mazen didn’t take that Hamas request very well…
Abbas Blames Iran in Fatah-Hamas Fight
Abbas accused Iran of preventing PA unity in closed-door talks with members of the Arab League on Saturday… …Iran is dictating Hamas’ agenda, and has decided against reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah, he charged…
Abbas’ accusation earned angry reactions from some Arab leaders. Libyan leader Muammar Al-Khadafi implied that Abbas’s PA is not doing enough to fight Israel, questioning how PA Arabs wage "resistance" while negotiating.
Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh called to support "resistance" groups like Hamas, and suggested that the Arab League create a secret strategy for providing material support for such groups.
Abbas also faced criticism from Syrian President Bashar Assad, who questioned why the PA leader had asked the Arab League for a decision regarding negotiations with Israel. The Arab League is not the body that should be making such decisions, Assad said, according to Al-Hayyat.
Abbas said in response that Israel-PA negotiations affect the entire Arab world, and thus should be subject to pan-Arab approval.
Enough with the charades, Abbas, please resign already…! *gah*

Abbas is a corrupted pawn of Israel.
Notice how Obama just promised to allow Israeli military posts in 1/3 of the future would-be Palestinian State as part of the incentive package for a mere two month extension of the moratorium.
Netanyahu bragged recently how he ensured Oslo would fail by insisting Oslo Agreement allow Israel to continue to keep military settlement posts (which he bragged was impossible to distinguish from illegal settlements). So Obama is now offering him an opportunity to get around any future peace agreement (by offering this — in other words, it’s an empty peace process anyways), and Netanyahu still resists.
Maybe if Abbas were to offer to spit shine Netanyahu’s shoes for the cameras, Israel would allow this farce to continue another two months…
Of course, Foggy Bottom punts the ball…

Dayam…! Do ya suppose, Dick, knows there’s a special ring set aside for him downstairs…? 8-(
Five heart attacks? Won’t be long til we can hear him breathing behind a Darth Vader mask. I guess Obama’s covering up his crimes have given him a new lease on life.
*heh* Did ya notice the sneer was still there…? ;-)
Yeah, he’s just rubbin it in. His entire life purpose is now just to torture us. :)
Can we bury him in that ‘man-sized’ safe, out in one of Dubai’s man-made reefs…? Pretty please…? ;-)
Dubai would be an easy place to lure him to. :)
Heh!
Da dick, torture man walking( or sitting).

‘Israel should treat its minorities the way we always wanted to be treated.’
Israel’s intelligence minister Dan Meridor nails it in this quote. There are many in the U.S. who proudly proclaim our country to be a Christian state. Yet many more insist we are a democracy where citizenship and religious freedom go hand in hand. I am grateful for those Israelis who feel the same way.
