Israel hijacked Middle East peace
2010-05-09
[Iran Press TV Latest] Turkey and Syria say Israel prevents the establishment of peace in the Middle East, mounting international condemnation of Tel Aviv's policies.
Thank you, President Obama.
Meeting in the Turkish capital, Ankara on Saturday, Turkish President Abdullah Gul and his visiting Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad blasted Tel Aviv's illegal settlement expansion in occupied al-Quds (East Jerusalem), AFP reported.

Gul said the construction of the settler units "is a very dangerous trend," which could lead "to things getting out of control."

Israel occupied al-Quds as part of the West Bank in the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed it. The war also finished with Tel Aviv's capture of Syria's Golan Heights and Lebanon's Shebaa Farms.

Tel Aviv has invariably turned down the Palestinian condition for resumption of direct talks by permanently halting its building up of the occupied lands.

Israel has also remained technically at war with Damascus and Beirut as it has refused to return their territories.

Turkey mediated four rounds of indirect talks between Israel and Syria in 2008. The talks stalled following the Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip at the turn of 2009 which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians.

Gul said Damascus had expressed its readiness to resume the talks a number of times, but the overture was not copied by Tel Aviv.

Assad also said "Israel is not ready for honest mediation."

Israeli authorities have, meanwhile, threatened Syria with military action, claiming it supplies Russian-made Scud missiles to the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.

#5  "Assad also said "Israel is not ready for honest mediation."


Translation: "Israel is not ready to surrender"

I wonder why the Palis don't attack Jordan to get 'their' land back?

#4  There is no "nice" way to win a war. Someone has to win and someone else has to lose. You kill as many of their young men as is necessary to make the rest impotent. Then you humiliate those left alive in as many ways as possible. You take everything they have, their land, their culture, their possessions, their children and their women.

And you dont give it back.

Then you put them to work. And their women wash your laundry and sleep in your soldiers beds. Their children watch your programs on TV and go to your schools. You hire the ones who dress like you do and speak English. The rest tend the goats and eat cheap beans.
You write the History books.

You have absolutely no intention of being "fair".
The whole purpose of the war was to kick the s**** out of them and break their Culture permanently. If you dont like that, get a Turban.

There are some people with whom you cant live in peace and toleration. You cant share the same space with these people. At some point you decide to get rid of them altogether. And you are stupid if you think you can do it "nice."

Make up your mind. Do the bas***** quick and thorough and final. OR you can condemn your kids to stack rocks and your wife does Abdrool's laundry.

You wont be around, you will be dead. There is no second place.

If you like second place be sure and vote for Kerry and Edwards ( they were a real piece of work.) Get you shoulder behind Pelosi and Reid and go ga-ga for Obama. Yeah? See what it gets you.

By all means try multi-cultural sharing the wealth.... and sing Kumbaya.
