FROM THE PRESIDENT WHO IGNORED TERRORISM AND AL QAEDA AND HAD ARAFAT AS MOST FREQUENT COCKROACH IN THE WHITE HOUSE…..RSK

Who’s to blame for the continued failure of the Middle East peace process? Former President Bill Clinton said today that it is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — whose government moved the goalposts upon taking power, and whose rise represents a key reason there has been no Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

Clinton, in a roundtable with bloggers today on the sidelines of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, gave an extensive recounting of the deterioration in the Middle East peace process since he pressed both parties to agree to a final settlement at Camp David in 2000. He said there are two main reasons for the lack of a comprehensive peace today: the reluctance of the Netanyahu administration to accept the terms of the Camp David deal and a demographic shift in Israel that is making the Israeli public less amenable to peace.

Another Tack: From bakshish to Khaybar In many ways Egypt-present isn’t like Egypt-past. In many ways nothing in Egypt has changed at all. Herein prevails the paradox. Egypt is a bedeviling composite of the mutating and the immutable. I described its immutability years ago, when recalling my first work assignment to Egypt. In those days peace […]

AND THIS NATION NEEDS RECOGNITION OF “ITS RIGHT TO EXIST”????? RSK

President Obama stood before the United Nations General Assembly Wednesday – in the same place he stood last year to make a bid for Palestinian statehood within the year – only this time, to plead his case against recognition of the Palestinian Authority from the U.N. Security Council.

The Obama Administration has come under intense scrutiny for what many have perceived as a lack of support for Israel. And recently, Republican presidential frontrunner, Gov. Rick Perry, blasted Obama for fostering a policy of “appeasement” in the Middle East, by demanding concessions from the Jewish state and empowering the Palestinian Authority to seek statehood.

Now, I’m no politician, but to me, this is a very important issue for many reasons. Israel stands for many things: democracy, human rights, culture and strong religious values. But what stands out most in my mind, as a doctor, are the important contributions that Israeli scientists and researchers have made to the practice of medicine.

US-Israel Ties: Conventional Wisdom Challenged http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=526 The suggestion that US-Israel relations are trending downward is a derivative of baseless conventional wisdom, as reflected in a recent study by Haim Malka, the Deputy Director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. For example, conventional wisdom assumes that the recent turmoil, […]

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4125645,00.html The idea that creating a second Arab Palestinian state will solve the problem not only defies reality, it prevents other options and undermines Israel’s legitimate claims.   Why not consider other options? Because anything less than a Palestinian state and full sovereignty negates the Arab resistance movement that has sought Israel’s destruction for the […]
