Obama has suddenly changed his tune. He's not coming to sight-see. He's all business. Suddenly he now wants a timetable of Israeli pulling out of Judea-Samaria. Is this in his eyes to be another Gaza? Israel has already gone through that episode to find out withdrawal didn't get peace. It just gave the terrorists territory in her back yard in which to attack from. The visit does not sound friendly at all.
The President of the United States is scheduled to arrive in Israel on March 20th and wants Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to give him a detailed withdrawal plan then. It is desired to be an immediate initiative to establish a Palestinian state in 2014.
Whereas up to now the word was this was to be a listening visit, that he wasn't coming to talk about peace. Word is he has now declared that his is coming to talk about Iran and a Palestinian state, zeroing in on Israeli Settlement expansion. The inference is that he'll act on his own if Israel won't give him something he can work with. Act on his own? What does that mean? Such a change is noted in this 2nd term. He's demanding now, as he isn't worried about the Jewish vote or anyone else. Of course his aides, who are Democrats, support the establishment of the Palestinian state as the priority of their business. Democratic congressmen have also sent Netanyahu a similar message. They go along with anything that Obama wants and says.
So let's get this straight. The USA has suddenly become tough and demanding that Israel leave Judea and Samaria lock, stock and barrel by 2014 since this is the condition of a Palestine. There is to be very little discussion, only how they will withdraw. He's taken Abbas's side on this completely. One reason is that Abbas is losing power because his people are an impatient people. Violence has started up again with them. Could the reason be because of the propaganda they are constantly fed by their leaders? Note that this is what Obama is backing; a Judenrein state, just like Saudi Arabia.
I believe there's going to be some sparks flying in the 2 days Obama is giving to this trip. Slam, Bang, Thank you Israel. We love them and leave them. What an attitude for a supposedly Democratic friend in a mired, hot, Middle Eastern world of bickering, fighting and slaughtering.
Forget about the fact that Jews have international rights to be living there. Forget about fairness, law, religion, rights of Israel, or the 64 years of refusing their own state. What matters today is might instead of right. The American president is on the side of the Palestinians who are not a friendly people ready to be peaceful neighbors. In fact, they do everything possible to instigate rioting and fighting. If Obama should do one thing, it is to visit the Palestinian schools and see their textbooks and TV programs and see what they teach their children and people to be like: hate Israelis and take all their land.
Israel wants a Palestinian state also, but not under these conditions of decisions made before they can even come together to discuss matters. Who wants to sign onto a belligerent country out to kill you off?
If I were Netanyahu, I would start my timetable off with
#1. The Palestinians will recognize Israel first.
#2. They will put down their arms and sign a peace treaty.
#3 They will change their charter and write a Declaration of Independence that is similar to the USA's in the matter of wanting peace and being a good neighbor.
#4. Israelis already living in Judea-Samaria shall stay there if they so decide to do so under a Palestinian government just like the 1.4 million Muslims living in Israel.
#5. Then we shall talk about the shape of Palestine and its boundaries.
And so on. And they have until 3 months before 2014 or the whole deal's off. Is it so unreasonable as to want a neighbor living beside you to come in peace?

Israel still has such nice plans for Obama's visit. "Israel released a tentative itinerary for President Obama's visit to Israel and the West Bank.
ReplyDeleteThe March 20-22 visit, according to the schedule released Monday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, will include visits to Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, as well as visits to the graves in Jerusalem of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, and Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli prime minister assassinated in 1995 by a Jewish extremist.
Also on the itinerary are a review of Israeli innovations in technology and a tour of the Dead Sea Scrolls, both at the Israel Museum; meetings with Israeli leaders, including a state dinner at the residence of Israeli President Shimon Peres; and a review of a battery of the Iron Dome anti-missile system funded by the United States that Israel said repelled most of the rockets launched from the Gaza Strip during last November's war with Hamas.
Obama also will spend time in Ramallah with the Palestinian Authority leadership.
Not listed but reported in the Israeli media are a speech that Obama plans to deliver to Israeli university students and a visit to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem." from Jewish Journal.
