Middle East
Terje: The peace breakdown is the Israelis’ fault for wanting to live
2003-09-15
EFL
The chief U.N. envoy to the Middle East declared Monday that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process has broken down and said he fears even worse bloodletting lies ahead.
Well duh!
"The recent cycle of terror attacks and justice extrajudicial killings has broken the Palestinian pretend cease-fire and brought the process to a standstill," U.N. Mideast envoy Terje Roed-Larsen told the Security Council at the start of an open meeting to discuss the troubled region.
What hudna? The one the Israelis observed until the Palis resumed their homicide boomings, of course.
But "while the situation is grave, it is alarmist to speak of the demise of the peace process," he warned.
"A snowball can survive in Hell."
The Palestinians are urging the United Nations to demand that Israel ensures Yasser Arafat’s safety and key Security Council members are urging both parties to implement the peace plan known as the "road map."
Actually, they want the version that authorizes a second Holocaust.
Roed-Larsen stressed that Arafat was the democratically elected Palestinian leader who "embodies Palestinian identity and national aspirations. He is now far from irrelevant."
"Heil Arafat!"
When's his term up, Terje?
If the course to peace outlined in the road map is abandoned, he warned, "we would cede to those individuals and groups that do not want peace."
"YEEOOOWWWW! Fy Lifs just fell off!"
Roed-Larsen accused both Israelis and Palestinians of failing to "seriously and actively" address each other’s concerns.
He ackowledges that the Palis have obligations too! Maybe he’s only 80% beauzeau instead of 100!
Terje? Less than 100% beauzeau? I doubt it...
"For Israelis, that concern is security and freedom from terrorist attacks. Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority failed again to grasp control of the security situation," he said.
The PA understands it, and wants to undermine Israel’s security.
"For Palestinians, the core concern is an assurance that the peace process will lead to the end of the occupation and the establishment of a viable independent Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders," he said. "The ongoing settlement activity and continued construction of the separation wall cause Palestinians to wonder whether we are moving in the opposite direction to that goal. In addition, Israel has never fully endorsed the Road Map."
Only those sections that were in there. BTW, the Palis have yet to make good on ONE of their fucking promises.

#7  We have expert people here who've been in war zones? Really?? Were they in NYC?

This was a post by livefrombrussels:
Another Lefty with a Shattered Worldview

I just had a conversation with the webmaster of Stopusa (don't bother to visit, it is a forum with about the content you'd expect).

We got into a heated argument about the war and everything, and of course Israel came up.

'But the Palestinans declared a truce', he said. 'I've seen it on TV and read it in the papers! And still the Israeli's went on with military action...'

Luckily I had my laptop open, and a short google later... I pointed him to this page: 160 attacks and attempted attacks during the hudna.

'But... but... I haven't seen any of that in the media here... you mean they're... lying?!'

Yes.

He then went off in search of a drink. I don't think I convinced him completely, but at least I've sown the seeds of doubt about the media, wich is more than enough for me!

#5  Ah, our old friend, Roed-Larsen, the Jenin Jerk-off: "It is totally destroyed, it looks like an earthquake has hit it," he said.... "We have expert people here who have been in war zones and earthquakes  and they say they have never seen anything like it," he added.

Gee, I've got experts who have never seen anything like the destruction of Envoy Jerk-off's credibility, yet he persists. The Energizer bunny of envoys. Kill Arafat? Maybe, but kill the UN first.

#4  Dress his exhalted useless poobah U.N. Mideast envoy Terje Roed-Larsen as a Jew and have him tour East Jerusalem, starting at the Temple Mount. I don't think he'll have the same "high" opinion of the Paleos when he finishes - IF he survives.

#2  RC - By golly, you're right! Hey credit where due, eh?

I note how even-handed Roed-Larsen is in saying that both sides failed to meet their obligations. I guess that is inevitable, though his weak statement including the wall, not a part of the roadmap and begun well after it was obvious that there was no peace and no road map, is classic Paleo-suckup UN SOP BS.

Lessee... Paleo Revisionist History - hmmmm, isn't there a BA offered somewhere in this? SFIndy sponsors some scholarships, I'd bet.

That's not true; they constantly promise to kill more women and children.
