Leaked report outlines 40 suggestions to sway Israeli policy; EU source: more chance of implementation in wake of Netanyahu rejection of Palestinian state.
A European Union report obtained by Ynet on Wednesday outlines suggestions on how to pressure Israel into returning to negotiations, in a list of 40 possible decisions.
An EU diplomatic source told Ynet that there was a definite chance that the recommendations in the report, which the member states have yet to approve, were more likely to be implemented following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement during his election campaign that a Palestinian state would not be created under his rule.

They are simply making up FALSE ALLEGATIONS against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so they can have some kind of political cover for hammering on Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu!
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained, after the election, that he did not abandon Bar-Ilan and/or the TWO-STATE SOLUTION!!
Obama is making up several issues ... which are really “non-issues” ... and are for only making “political hay”! Obama wanted to get rid of Ambassador Dermer, because of the arrangements made through him (with the Speaker of the House) to have Netanyahu give a speech to a Joint Session of Congress. That really fired up the political opposition to the Iran agreement that Obama is trying to push through, and therefore Obama was looking for some “payback” ... namely “get rid of Dermer”!
And in regards to the other issue, and Obama accusing Netanyahu of being against a TWO-STATE SOLUTION ... that’s just an outright lie from Obama.
Obama is making this out to be REAL BIG ISSUE and is throwing a Temper Tantrum over it, even though he knows it’s TOTALLY FALSE and it’s a LIE that he’s telling the American public. Obama is hoping the FOOLS in America will believe him and not Netanyahu, when Netanyahu says he STILL supports a Two-State Solution, per Bar-Ilan.
The reason why Obama is making this out to be a big issue, is that he wants to “use it” to abandon Israel in the United Nations (by refusing to block UN Security Council Resolutions against Israel) and in the future by implementing sanctions against Israel.
As Obama knows very well, and as Netanyahu has made clear repeatedly after the election ... Netanyahu has not abandoned his Bar-Ilan policy speech regarding his support for the Two-State Solution.
Obama is trying to take a misunderstood campaign blurb and turn into a major policy reversal. It’s no such thing and Obama knows it!
This is what I said regarding what the Liberal press and Obama are doing ...
— — —
This a FALSE statement from the press and from Obama. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has REPEATEDLY sought to correct the mistaken impression that he does not support a TWO-STATE SOLUTION.
He does support it and he says that he has maintained that same support ... going back to his Bar-Ilan speech, when Obama first got into office. He says his position in support of the Two-State Solution has not changed since then.
What it is ... is that the liberal press and Obama want to hammer on Netanyahu no matter what ... and they’ve picked up on a LIE that Netanyahu does not support the Two-State Solution.
Here’s Netanyahu’s support for a Two-State Solution from what he has been referring to in the last several days to COUNTER THIS LIE!

Obama-Netanyahu Fallout is ‘Unprecedented’ in History
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3271438/posts
Historian reveals the key clashes between US presidents and Israeli prime ministers, and why none have been as bad as the current one.
The current diplomatic crisis between Israel and US President Barack Obama’s administration is the most vicious and public yet among only a handful of crises that have marred the close, long-running relationship, says an expert on relations between the two nations.
Obama’s frosty relationship with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu hit new lows this month, with the White House criticizing remarks Netanyahu made on election day, in which he said a Palestinian state would not be founded if he was elected - which he quickly backtracked on, and warned foreign funded NGOs were busing Arab Israelis to vote en masse - which he apologized for.
The White House threatened in response to the issue of a Palestinian state that it may pull support for Israel at the UN, allowing such a state to be recognized. It likewise rejected Netanyahu’s apology on the Arab voter issue; Netanyahu’s warning noted that groups like V15 were busing in the voters to oust him, and the Senate has in fact launched a probe into Obama’s alleged funding of the V15 campaign.
Jewish establishment sounds alarm as White House rhetoric intensifies [Israel]

Leading figures in Washington’s pro-Israel community are calling on the Obama administration to turn down the temperature.
For years defensive of their support for US President Barack Obama and his White House, Washington’s pro-Israel establishment now fears that the train of US-Israel relations is “running off the tracks.” Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, their reactions ranged from deep concern to “bewilderment.”
“The fact that the outcome of a Democratic election in Israel seems to be of great concern” to the Obama administration, said David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee, “is cause for deep anxiety and puzzlement.”
“Whatever the failings of the prime minister, the way this is unfolding runs completely contrary to the spirit of US-Israel relations,” Harris said. “The US appears to have a reasoned interest in prolonging the crisis.”
“As someone who was critical of several steps by [Netanyahu] during the campaign leading up to his re-election,” said Abe Foxman, longtime national director of the Anti-Defamation League, “I am even more troubled by statements now coming out of the White House.”
“What we are hearing from the Obama Administration raises deeper questions about their intentions and perspectives,” Foxman said. “From the beginning of the Obama years, there was a disturbing indifference to the mindset of the Israeli public.”
THE TRUTH IS A IRRELEVANT. Israel speaks the truth. Europe and Obama are attacking Israel while the entire region is soaked in blood, mayhem, a return to the 7th century and all they can do is pressure Israel, a supposed sane, Democratic ally. The situation is pathetic and self destructive to the West.
Someone tell me why it is always Israel that needs pressure applied when its the PLO that always rejects statehood?
The EU is no example of wisdom. It is collectively committing suicide: )
If the Palestinian Authority doesn’t want a Palestinian State (i.e., “statehood”), then why are they asking the United Nations to DECLARE a Palestinian State?
SO, yes they do want a Palestinian State ... it’s just that they don’t want one BY WAY OF NEGOTIATIONS with Israel, because that would saddle them with commitments that they would be required to meet up to.
What the Palestinian Authority wants is a Palestinian State that is simply DECLARED and this doesn’t have any obligations to SOLVE the long-standing issues and disagreements.
A FINAL STATUS AGREEMENT would solve all the issues and the Palestinian Authority would have to agree that “all issues” are settled. It’s FINAL! They don’t want “FINAL” ... they want to carry on all the disagreements and issues forward into perpetuity and be in a CONSTANT STATE OF CONFLICT! By simply having a Palestinian State “DECLARED” that’s what would happen.
SO ONCE AGAIN ... the Palestinian Authority DOES WANT a Palestinian State (statehood) ... Just NOT by “negotiations”!
