Public Relations

fools, despite seemingly strong, but in reality, just plain weak and useless arguments ?
Were past US presidents, inclusive of Reagan, Clinton, Bush,Sr. Bush Jr and now Obama actually afraid of Israel?

Israel ‘deaf’ To Two-State Solution
US calls for a two-state solution “fell on deaf ears”, the Palestinians’ chief negotiator with Israel has said. Speaking to Al Jazeera on Tuesday, after the first official meeting between Barack Obama, the US president, and Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, Saeb Erekat indicated that Palestinians had low expectations of the outcome.
In their talks in Washington, Obama told Netanyahu to stop expanding Jewish settlements and grasp the “historic opportunity” to make peace with the Palestinians.
“We appreciate very much what Mr Obama said … [But] I’m sure this fell on deaf ears. Mr Netanyahu will continue to be in a state of denial.”He will not accept the two-state solution, he will not accept agreements signed. He will continue with settlement activities and he thinks he can beat about the bush by more vagueness and linguistics and public relations campaigns.”
“In four hours of talks with Obama, Netanyahu refused to publicly commit to an independent Palestinian state.

He told Obama that Israel was “ready” to resume negotiations with the Palestinians, which stalled during Israel’s 22-day offensive in the Gaza Strip, but avoided endorsing the two-state solution.”If we resume negotiations then I think the Palestinians will have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and also enable Israel to have the means to defend itself,” Netanyahu said.Following the meeting, Netanyahu said: “I did not say two states for two peoples.”
He also said that Israel did not want to govern the Palestinians.”We want them to govern themselves [minus] a handful of powers that could endanger the state of Israel,” Netanyau said.
But Erekat rejected this as rhetoric.”Really, when he [Netanyahu] says that he wants Palestinians to govern themselves by themselves – Mr Netanyahu I have a question for you: How can I govern myself by myself under your wall, settlements, incursions, assasinations, roadblocks?”
Sherine Tadross, Al Jazeera’s correspondent reporting from Jerusalem, said that Israel officially remained up beat about the meeting but that the press saw the two leaders as finding little common ground.
“The official line is that it was a very good meeting, that there was a lot of chemistry between the two leaders and there were a lot of common interests expressed … now that is a world apart from how the Israeli press has read the situation,” she said. “Certainly, it seems, the line that is often given to US presidents by Israeli leaders – ‘listen I need more time because domestically I’m not in a situation where I can press my fragile coalition government to dismantle settlements and establish a two state solution’ – was not bought by Obama.
As for “Settlement” concerns, despite Obama’s call for a halt to settlement building, there were reports that Israel was moving ahead with construction of a new settlement on the east side of the West Bank, where Israeli officials have already issued tenders for housing units in the area,
Does Netanyahu laugh at us?
No pepper
I do not **** jews and I do not **** Israel. I just have opinions that you may not agree with. I have that right, It does not mean that I am antisemitic. Quite the contrary. It also means that I have a mind of my own. And that I do not have to agree with everything Israel does or says.
Why is it when someone questions something Israel does they are automatically labeled?
Israel is no bettr than anyone else!
No I do not believe in the ‘chosen people theory’ nor do I believe that Jews have a ‘promised land’.
Yes I believe the Holocaust happened.
But I also believe that there are others who are not Jewish who have suffered equally, and more, through unspeakable, reprehensible acts.
Perhaps it is more that people are beginning to realize that everyone i the United States does not ascribe to the doings of one Benyamin Netanyahu.
Enough said.
