Yesterday, it was Defense Secretary Robert Gates visiting Israel to twist arms and convince the Jewish State to leave herself vulnerable to nuclear attack from Iran.
Today's visitor is former Senator Michell, the man who investigated steroid use in baseball and a minor player in the northern Ireland dispute who got all of the credit. The President Sent Mitchell to for a little Israeli arm-twisting about Jerusalem and the settlements.
Following their meeting, Mitchell told reporters that a "comprehensive peace in the Middle East would include peace between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as peace between Israel and Lebanon, and Syria and Israel."
In addition, he continued, the peace plan would include "full normalization between Israel and all of its neighbors in the region."
"That is our objective," Mitchell said, "and to that we have committed ourselves fully."
In his remarks, Netanyahu said that, "we're making progress towards achieving an understanding that would enable us to continue and achieve a peace deal between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors."
Meanwhile, London-based newspaper Al-Hayat reported that Mitchell has indicated that negotiations for a final settlement deal between Israel and the Palestinians will continue for no more than one and a half years.
According to the report, which cited "reliable" sources, the American administration is currently working for an agreement on the borders of a future Palestinian state. Once that agreement is reached, efforts would be made to find a compromise on settlement construction.

Unfortunately for Israelis, the borders being demanded by the Palestinians do not include Israel. Just look at the maps in any Palestinian text book, there is no Israel on them.
Looks like the nearly 80% of American Jews who voted for this clown love liberalism/socialism more than they do Israel.
Keep it up, morons!!!

EXACTLY CORRECT!! These are American leftists, not American Jews. The Jew part comes somewhere way down the line.
