Dear Prime Minister,
I was interested to read that, when you met Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, you said:
‘Britain is a good friend of Israel and our support for Israel and Israel's security is something I have described in the past, and will do so again, as unshakeable.’
I wonder, therefore, if you make a habit of threatening your friends? For you also said that unless Israel ‘engages seriously in a meaningful peace process’ with the Palestinian Authority, the more likely it is that Britain will endorse the ‘State of Palestine’ for which the PA is expected to seek recognition at the UN in September.
This is not the behaviour of a friend so much as the kind of intimidation that is more reminiscent of a Mafia protection racket.
First of all, you have incomprehensibly decided to pressurise the victim in this conflict to make peace with her aggressor, even though the victim is the one party that constantly tries to make peace while the aggressor does not. It is the PA which has refused to negotiate with Israel....
I wonder whether you might explain to both Britain and the Jewish people why you do not insist that Mr Abbas ‘engages seriously in a meaningful peace process’ by unambiguously renouncing – in both English and Arabic – his repeated assertions that his people will never accept Israel as a Jewish state, the casus belli of the entire conflict?
I wonder also if you might explain...why you implicitly endorse the racist ethnic cleansing inherent in the putative ‘State of Palestine’ which the PA says it will declare – a state in which Mr Abbas has repeatedly declared that not one Jew will be allowed to live -- but which you have now threatened to support?

Linkee is brokee.
Correct link:
GB terrified of the jihadis in their midst.
Any doubt that GB will vote for Pali state at the UN. Any doubt that Obamao will do nothing to prevent such an action.
O is Carter’s clone. Much as Carter worked behind the scenes to get the allies to say NO to GWBush on the first Gulf War.
And yet I was proud of America yesterday. Would parliament have given the President of Israel 29 standing ovations like our congress gave to Bibi? He gave a great speech, by the way. I love his Philly accent. You know, in the “old days,” most Israelis - when speaking English - spoke with strong British accents (Abba Eban, for one).
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Bibi was a high school student in Phila when the six day war broke out. He missed his graduation to go home to fight for his country.
