| No peace with Israel - Lebanon | |
| 2006-08-31 | |
Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora on Wednesday said he refused to have any direct contact with Israel, and that Lebanon would be the last Arab country to ever sign a peace deal with Israel.
He was referring to a plan that came out of a 2002 Arab League summit in Beirut. It calls for Israel to return all territories it conquered in the 1967 Mideast war, the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital and a solution to the Palestinian refugee problem - all in exchange for peace and full normalisation of Arab relations with Israel. Israel has long sought a peace deal with Lebanon, but Beirut has hesitated as long as Israel's conflicts with the Palestinians and Syria remained unresolved. Saniora said Lebanon wants to go back to the 1949 armistice agreement that formally ended the Arab-Israeli war over Israel's creation. | |

| #4 "...just and comprehensive peace based on the Arab initiative...” That may be exactly the problem. They don't care to understand what represents "fair and comprehenside". Their mindset makes them speak a different language, one that presumes righteousness shorn of self-examination and regards for reality. True to their self-absorped Cultish Creed of Darkness! |

| #1 the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital You might as well give a Faberge egg to a tantrum prone three year-old. As always, the Arab demands are so absurd as to preclude any possibility of resolution before the time when our sun goes nova. |
