Netanyahu houdt vast aan bouwplan ` Israël is niet van plan af te zien van een omstreden plan voor de bouw van 1600 huizen in Oost-Jeruzalem.Premier Netanyahu zei dat bouwplannen van Israël in Oost-Jeruzalem nog nooit ten koste zijn gegaan van de Palestijnen. Israël staat onder druk van Washington om af te zien van het project.Israël kondigde de plannen vorige week aan.Dat was op het moment dat de Amerikaanse vicepresident Biden in het land was om het vredesproces op gang te brengen. Het plan heeft een crisissfeer tussen Tel Aviv en Washington veroorzaakt. De Palestijnen weigeren vredesbesprekingen zolang het plan niet van tafel is.
Deze zin is opmerkelijk: 'De Palestijnen weigeren vredesbesprekingen zolang het plan niet van tafel is.'
Ik steel al vele jaren uw land en alles wat er op staat, en vervolgens zeg ik dat ik 'vredesbesprekingen' met u wil. Tenslotte schrijft mijn vriend dat u en de uwen 'vredesbesprekingen weigeren'. Maar deze bewoordingen geven na al die jaren diefstal van steeds meer land een absurde voorstelling van zaken, ze zijn zelfs pure propaganda. Maar maak dit nu maar eens een Teletekst-journalist duidelijk. Weet hij veel.

Dat is nou vervelend ,diegene van wie je het niet zou verwachten,het Amerikaanse leger, komt in opstand tegen gedrag van Israël.
On Jan. 16, two days after a killer earthquake hit Haiti, a team of senior military officers from the U.S. Central Command (responsible for overseeing American security interests in the Middle East), arrived at the Pentagon to brief Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The team had been dispatched by CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus to underline his growing worries at the lack of progress in resolving the issue. The 33-slide, 45-minute PowerPoint briefing stunned Mullen. The briefers reported that there was a growing perception among Arab leaders that the U.S. was incapable of standing up to Israel, that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency was losing faith in American promises, that Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region, and that Mitchell himself was (as a senior Pentagon officer later bluntly described it) "too old, too slow ... and too late."
The January Mullen briefing was unprecedented. No previous CENTCOM commander had ever expressed himself on what is essentially a political issue; which is why the briefers were careful to tell Mullen that their conclusions followed from a December 2009 tour of the region where, on Petraeus's instructions, they spoke to senior Arab leaders. "Everywhere they went, the message was pretty humbling," a Pentagon officer familiar with the briefing says. "America was not only viewed as weak, but its military posture in the region was eroding."
There are important and powerful lobbies in America: the NRA, the American Medical Association, the lawyers -- and the Israeli lobby. But no lobby is as important, or as powerful, as the U.S. military. While commentators and pundits might reflect that Joe Biden's trip to Israel has forever shifted America's relationship with its erstwhile ally in the region, the real break came in January, when David Petraeus sent a briefing team to the Pentagon with a stark warning: America's relationship with Israel is important, but not as important as the lives of America's soldiers. Maybe Israel gets the message now.

Sander van Hoorn kwam weer even buurten:
"Al jarenlang bouwt Israël huizen in bezet gebied. Het mag niet volgens het internationaal recht, maar uiteindelijk geldt alleen of en hoe die regels gehandhaafd worden. De standaard veroordeling van Amerika en Europa was altijd dat het bouwen van nederzettingn ‘niet behulpzaam is voor het vredesproces’. Daar valt mee te leven."
To the Editors of the New York Times:
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents.
...
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.
