(IsraelNN.com) A top State Department official spelled out on Tuesday that the goal of the United States in its negotiations in the Middle East is to pressure Israel into expelling Jews from Judea and Samaria in order to "end the occupation that began in 1967."

William J. Burns, Under Secretary for Political Affairs, said in his address to the Middle East Institute Tuesday that he sees the U.S.mandate as one of "determined leadership" and that American must be straightforward about its intentions.

The highest ranking Foreign Service Officer in the United States, Burns served as Acting Secretary of State until the appointment of Hillary Rodham Clinton. He was the U.S. Ambassador to Jordan from 1998 to 2001, and as U.S. Ambassador to Russia from 2005 to 2008.

Israel will never agree to this. Nor should they.

[goldstategop]

That is never going to happen. In the post-Goldstone Era, Israel is simply not going to agree to massive territorial withdrawals. Under-Secretary Burns has still not adjusted the Administration's thinking to the realities of the post-peace process world.

Egads, at first I thought, this being Veteran’s Day, that this was an historical article. It’s getting scarier every day.

Had to read this to believe it:

“”Our goal in the region is clear,” he said, “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.”

NEVER.

When is Israel going to catch a break?

During the Clinton Era, they had their arms twisted on the Oslo Accords, during the Bush Era they faced a two front Jihad with random rocket attacks, now the Obamao Era sees a policy to expel them from land they have settled upon.

The Palestinians can't run a sanitary sewer system. Their “potential” is quite limited, I'm afraid.

Did you see this?

. . . to pressure Israel into expelling Jews from Judea and Samaria in order to "end the occupation that began in 1967.

Will they revert back to the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian occupation that began in 1948? I say by all means, give Gaza back to Egypt and give the West Bank back to Jordan. They have no qualms about the massacre of Palestinians who act up.

[Tigen]

“land they have settled upon”.
I would like to be perfectly clear the land GOD gave Israel which is clearly spelled out in the Torah and the Bible will be bigger than the current borders.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Amen!

"...that ends the daily humiliations of Palestinians under occupation, that realizes the full and remarkable potential of the Palestinian people..."

The isolation of Israel is VERY unnerving.

G*D Bless Israel!!!!

If South West Asia wasn't sitting on a sea of oil, there probably would not be a flushing toilet from Jordan to Iran.
