Barack Obama's Middle East envoy George Mitchell arrived in Israel for his second visit. Whereas Mitchell's last visit - which took place in the last days of the electoral campaign -- was touted as a "listening tour," Mitchell made clear that during his current stay, he intends to begin calling shots. His first order of business, we are told, is to pressure the outgoing government to destroy the so-called outpost communities in Judea and Samaria and expel the hundreds of Israeli families who live in them. To defend this call for intra-Israeli instability and violence, Mitchell notes that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert gave his word to former president George W. Bush that he would destroy these communities. Lest Israelis believe that Mitchell will drop this demand once Olmert leaves office, he has made clear that as far as he is concerned, Olmert's pledge was not his own - but Israel's. In Mitchells' view, it binds Netanyahu no less than Olmert. So if Olmert leaves office without having sent IDF soldiers to throw women and children from their homes, Mitchell, Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will feel free to pressure Netanyahu to take on the task and punish him if he refuses. If the Obama administration believes that the presence of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria is the primary obstacle to peace, then the Hamas regime in Gaza is the second greatest obstacle to peace. As long as Hamas, a recognized terror group is in charge, the administration will be hard-pressed to push Israel to accept a Palestinian state. To remedy this situation, the Obama administration has opted for a political fiction. The President and his aides have decided that a Hamas-Fatah government will moderate Hamas and therefore ...

As the communist democrat politicians undermine America and curse the nation God has brougt back to the land of Israel, we Americans who love the God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ worry that America is now an enemy of the Israel of God and therefore will suffer the judgement of all nations who hate Israel and are suffering economic destruction and anarchy. I wonder if America will survive the next four years of the stupid ruling over the foolish. Is it not time for a real conservative party to replace the damnable and liberal republican party? I say yea, lets get a real conservative party while Obamanation destroys our economy and be ready for the trouble the marxists are bringing. It is obamanation to fight against the work of God by undermining Israel.

Oh but I thought we didn't "dictate." I guess Israel is the exception then.

Mitchell is a misnomered ARAB and is not to be trusted, especially when it involves Israel.

O (fellow) Infidels! Read the Quran, Hadiths, and Sira, and learn what Muslims have been taught about Jews and Christians for the last FOURTEEN HUNDRED YEARS!!!

Yeah, yeah, Mitchell is a Lebanese Christian. That group has produced some truly vicious anti-Semites.

Dr. George Habash, anyone?

George Mitchell was a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia, and several
other Muslim countries. Obama aaid that he would not be hiring lobbyists. What a liar he is!
