IMO, the Liberal God and Liberals in the US Congress would sell Israel out in a New York Minute as any true anti-semite would. Listen up Feinstein!

...discussion will inevitably turn to Mitchell's personal involvement in the Belfast "Good Friday" agreement...

With Mitchell going to the Middle East, discussion should inevitably turn to his Arab ethnic background and the the biases against Israel that such a background creates. Or is that too politically incrrect for anyone in the MSM to say?

It seems like MSM played up Mitchell's Irish ancestry to the hilt when he went to Belfast. The fact is that Mitchell had no Irish-American background (other than genetic), since his father left the family during his infancy or before he was born. Mitchell was raised in an Arab-American household by his Lebanese immigrant mother and her family.

and as long as Muslim regimes such as Iran and others are willing to financially support the Jihadist organizations, there is no way to ‘starve them out’ of their positions of power.

Mitchell shared his vision for the Middle East conflict based on his Belfast experience: "There is no such thing as a conflict that can't be ended," he said.

He IS right, however, sometimes it will only end after the complete and utter subjugation of one's enemies. He's completely WRONG if he thinks it can be done solely by diplomacy, and I fear that's what he meant by that statement.

When he was dealing with the Irish, he was dealing with Christians, though some just barely remembered that background. In the Middle East, he'll be dealing with Muslims, who have NO culture of forgiveness, redemption, or religious tolerance, so diplomacy won't work with them.
