State Dept: US wants all Jews out of 'West Bank'
Israel Today ^ | 11/11/009

Posted on 11/11/2009 7:41:30 AM PST by tefis

One of the top US State Department officials on Tuesday acknowledged that the ultimate goal of US Middle East policy is to cleanse all of Judea and Samaria of Jews and hand that territory in its entirety over to the Palestinian Arabs.

Speaking at the Middle East Institute, Under Secretary for Political Affairs William J. Burns stated:

"Our goal in the region is clear: two states living side by side in peace and security; a Jewish state of Israel, with which America retains unbreakable bonds, and with true security for all Israelis; and a viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967, that ends the daily humiliations of Palestinians under occupation, and that realizes the full and remarkable potential of the Palestinian people."

Burns added that while the Obama Administration appreciates Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's partial settlement freeze, it does not go nearly far enough. Burns was certainly aware that to the Palestinians, his words would be interpreted to mean that Israel must expel all 250,000 Jews living in Judea and Samaria, as well as the tens of thousands of Jews who live on the eastern side of Jerusalem.

Burns' remarks came just a day after Obama and Netanyahu met at the White House in what has now been revealed to be a less than friendly encounter.

Israel was fully expecting a fresh wave of American pressure following Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' threat to quit if he doesn't get what he wants.

Ok, all Arabs out of Israel and Jerusalem, and any of them employed there lose their jobs. In addition, all welfare payments from Israel cease, Israeli hospitals will no longer accept Arabs, Arabs banned from the Temple Mount. Deal?

I can’t believe that the United States government is advocating kicking Jews out of a region. Look at Jewish history and see how many times they’ve been expelled from countries and regions. It’s scary.

Bibi should just meet with three people when he visits: Joe Lieberman, Steny Hoyer (for some reason one of the most pro-Israel members of Congress) and John Boehner. That's it. Don't even go to the White house. Don't even bother to meet with Madame Hillary or the Jew-hating Burns.

Congress and the American People have Israel's back. We know that Israel is our ally, and Palestinians are people who kill Americans overseas, and murder Americans on our soil. They are our common enemy.

Apartheid and ghettos for Jews. But Arabs and Muslims are free to move in and multiply in Israel proper. Death by demographics.

Didn't mean to imply you had made some mistake - you didn't.

By "fixing the title" I meant correcting it so that it was closer to the truth, which is that it's the STATE DEPT., not the U.S., that wants Jews out of the West Bank.
