GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE THREATENING TO RECOGNIZE A PALESTINIAN STATE

I received this from ARUTZ SHEVA, the Israeli National News Service.  According to an ARTICLE that was released today, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is in Great Britain on a three day visit to both Great Britain and France.  While Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron offered assurances of his country's "unshakeable" alliance with Israel, he turned right around and told Prime Minister Netanyahu, "We think, though, now there is a real opportunity - with the end of Bin Laden, with the Arab Spring, with all that's happening in the world - we think this is a moment of opportunity . . . to push forward the process of peace between Israel and Palestine."

Mr. Cameron seems to be a bit ill-informed.  First, the majority of Palestinians do not want a Palestinian state, but would rather remain under Israeli rule.  I posted this earlier this year.  Second, the Palestinian leadership does not want a Palestinian state either.  They have been offered 100% of the land they supposedly want several times, and the Palestinian Liberation Organization has turned it down every time.  (To keep from confusing some readers who may not be aware, the terrorist Palestinian Liberation Organization is the same thing as the Palestinian Authority.  They just changed their name after the death of Yassar Arafat).  A recent example is Prime Minister Netanyahu's offering to have direct talks with the PLO a number of times.  The PLO of course refused unless Israel stopped all construction in Judea and Samaria.  Israel did so for ten months, and true to form, the PLO continued to refuse to agree to talks with Israel.  It is a well documented fact that the PLO does not want to exist a state in addition to Israel.  The PLO's agenda is anything but peaceful coexistence with Israel.  The PLO wants Israel totally obliterated.  I do not understand what is so hard to understand about that.

However, in September, the PLO is expected to make an attempt to be recognized by the United Nations.  A diplomatic source in Great Britain was quoted as saying that if Prime Minister Netanyahu refused to engage in talks with the PLO, then "Europe would be asked a very difficult question, and we do not know yet what the answer to that question will be."

Last week in Cairo, Egypt, HAMAS and FATAH signed an agreement in effect merging with each other with the PLO leader, Mahmoud Abbas over it all.

To sum it all up:  Great Britain and France are ready to recognize a terrorist organization as a state that is controlled by two terrorist political parties.  Good move guys.    

OBAMA WALKS OUT ON PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU

I know this is old news by now, but I have not had the chance to write about this until now. For many of you, this will still be "fresh" news since the mainstream media has said very little about it. Most of you probably don't know that President Obama walked out on Prime Minister Netanyahu. This happened on March 23, 2010 when the Israeli delegation, which included Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, met with President Obama about proposed housing settlements in East Jerusalem.

The meetings failed to gain a concession from Israel regarding settlements and withdrawal of Israeli forces. So, President Obama walked out on the delegation telling them, "Let me know if anything changes." This, being translated, is, "Let me know if you see it my way", or more succinctly, "My way or the highway." The president then went to dinner and left the Israelis sitting.

This is a major disrespect of a foreign leader that I have not seen in my lifetime, especially of an allied nation. Such behavior on the part of an American president toward an ally is, to put it very mildly, a disgrace to everything this nation has ever stood for, especially when the president has said many times that he will talk to the terrorist leaders such as Iranian President Man-I-Need-A-Job with no preconditions, smiles for the cameras with Chinese President Jintao, and bows to the king of a terrorist nation. That's effective foreign diplomacy if I ever saw it. Treat those who are our friends like trash and those whose only objective is to destroy the United States like his big buddy and pal.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs' statement about the highly unusual lack of press coverage and photos of Obama and Netanyahu is still yet another indicator of just how arrogant this administration is. In an apparent response to the press having been excluded, Gibbs said, "I think it comes as a great shock to you and me, but not everything the president does is for the cameras and for the press." No, just those things that cozy up to enemy nations, that's all. Transparency at its finest.

To my knowledge, Prime Minister Netanyahu is the only foreign dignitary to have been treated so shabbily by the president. Wonder what would happen if Obama walked out on President Man-I-Need-A-Job with those oh-so-warm parting words, "Let me know if anything changes."
