Obama Squeezes Israel-The bullying of an ally -- and a perpetual victim of terror -- continues
Frontpagemagazine ^ | 7-21-10 | Joseph Puder

In our politically correct, relativistic and multicultural Western universe, there has been a systematic effort to ignore the true intentions of Abbas and the Palestinians. While the Arab/Palestinian-Israeli conflict may be an inconvenient headache for the U.S. and the Europeans, and they are therefore willing to ignore Palestinian blemishes and intentions, a Palestinian state, with “unabashed” terrorist aims as stated in their charter, poses existential threats for Israel. Instead of focusing on Israeli confidence-building measures, it is time the West begins to look seriously at the implications of a Palestinians state. The U.S., as an honest broker, must demand guarantees from Abbas that such a state would be demilitarized, and that Palestinian terrorist gangs be disarmed and arrested. The Obama administration must insist on result bearing efforts on the part of the Palestinian Authority – including the preparation of Palestinians for peace and good neighborly relations with Jews and Israel. That is ultimately the only meaningful confidence-building measure that would lead to a peaceful future. Anything else will lead to the fulfillment of the old PLO strategy of eliminating Israel in stages.

The U.S. under Obama is not an honest broker and will not make the demands cited by the author.

Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem






Those Who Would Like To Pray Daily For the Peace of Jerusalem,
And For Our Own Nation's Relationship With Israel,
Just ASK, And I will Put You on the Daily Ping List.

It IS a Prayer Thread, not a DEBATE or Doctrine Thread,
And is Graphics Intensive.

Hallelujah and Amen
