Emanuel Says Obama Insists On Implementing Two State Solution, No Ifs, Ands, or Buts
Israel Policy Forum ^ | 4-16-09 | M. J. Rosenberg

Posted on 04/17/2009 10:53:05 PM PDT by STARWISE

Yedioth Achronoth, the largest circulation daily in Israel, reports today that President Obama intends to see the two-state solution signed, sealed and delivered during his first term.

Rahm Emanuel told an (unnamed) Jewish leader; "In the next four years there is going to be a permanent status arrangement between Israel and the Palestinians on the basis of two states for two peoples, and it doesn't matter to us at all who is prime minister."

He also said that the United States will exert pressure to see that deal is put into place.

"Any treatment of the Iranian nuclear problem will be contingent upon progress in the negotiations and an Israeli withdrawal from West Bank territory," the paper reports Emanuel as saying.

In other words, US sympathy for Israel's position vis a vis Iran depends on Israel's willingness to live up to its commitment to get out of the West Bank and permit the establishment of a Palestinian state there, in Gaza, and East Jerusalem.

Yedioth also reports that Obama is conveying his displeasure with the new Israeli government in several ways.

"US administration officials informed Netanyahu that President Obama will not be able to meet with him in early May, while the AIPAC conference is held in Washington.

The meeting between the new Israeli premier and the president of the United States is perceived in Israel as a sign that the formation process of the new government has been completed and as a salutation by Israel's close friend.

Netanyahu had hoped to capitalize on the opportunity and to meet with Obama during the annual AIPAC conference, but the Americans informed the Israelis that Obama was not going to be 'in town.'

That being the case, the inclination among Netanyahu's aides is to cancel his trip to attend the AIPAC conference and to try to secure a date for a meeting with Obama later in May.

"Sources in Washington also said that the Obama administration would not continue the tradition that developed during the Bush administration of hosting Israeli premiers many times during the year, sometimes with just a phone call's advance notice."

So far neither the White House or the Israeli government has commented on the report which, it should be noted, comes from Shimon Shiffer, one of Israel's most highly respected journalists.

Rahm Emmanuel would have made a good Kapo for the Nazis during WWII.

He said “my Muslim faith” in an interview, and the interviewer corrected him- George Stappococcus, IIRC.

“Any treatment of the Iranian nuclear problem will be contingent upon progress in the negotiations and an Israeli withdrawal from West Bank territory,” the paper reports Emanuel as saying. “

Does this mean what I think it does? Basically President Dildock is going to blackmail Israel with the prospects of a nuclear armed Iran hanging over it’s head? In effect, the US doing Iran’s dirty work?

WTH!! Where does it give the US permission to make any decisions about other countries period? Secondly Biden said we would no longer be telling other countries what to do in his New World Order plans.

I guess that meant the ones they are for. Obama entertained Seder at the White House so we are suppose to believe he is not anti semite. Right! That funding he gave while on that baord proves he was never on Israel’s side. The millions he gaves Palestine proves he wants them destroyed. And if Israel will be destroyed by obama’s actions, rahm being a zionist, his father will be quickly brought to the US. Along with his other IRGUN terrorist group.

obama is the master manipulator but we have his M.O. down pat.

“We here in Texas might not mind a 2-state solution, too.”

As I understand it, Texas can legally divide itself into 6(?) new states, thereby potentially adding 12 new Senators. I realize that Texans like having such a large state, but given Obama’s plans to exploit the Democratic majority in the Senate, the question must be asked:

Are Texans willing to sacrifice self interest for the greater good of preventing a permanent turn leftward as Obama seeks to enact his plans for nationalized health care, cap-and-trade and levels of taxes (and debt!) never before seen in this country?

This is an anti- freedom Admin. Is it any stranger for these naifs in the WH to praise the PALS, hug Castro, and shake Chavez’ hand while dissing Israel and American rights to protest? Rahm and his boss are tyrants and now it is so apparent that when our freedoms disappear under a deluge of socialist and pacifist policies, one wonders if any one will stand up and finally Say NO?

Interesting how a Jew is turning into the worst enemies of Israel. I guess Emanuel has no influence on the Muslim bowing potentate we elected as TOTUS. A forced solution is utopian at best and will be the last nail on the coffin of the state of Israel.

There is something HUGELY unsettling about Rahm Emanuel designing the Middle East of the Future. Either he is a traitor to Israel or he's just plain nuts. Oh, Rammy, nice mug shot on this week's rag! You look like Clooney!
