| Netanyahu cool to French plan for negotiations | |
| 2011-06-06 | |
| JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded coolly on Sunday to France’s proposal to convene Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Paris, saying the United States might want to pursue an initiative of its own. “We will study the proposal and discuss it with our friend, the United States,” Netanyahu told his cabinet, in remarks released by the prime minister’s office. “The Americans also want to promote initiatives, and we have our own thoughts, too,” he said, without elaborating on possible ways to revive US-sponsored peace talks that fizzled soon after they began last September. “We will see how the (French) proposal fits with other initiatives. Understandably, it’s not possible to implement all of them, and it’s better to concentrate on one initiative and move it forward,” Netanyahu said. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, on a visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank this week, offered to host talks this month or in early July to discuss ideas for a Palestinian state raised last month by US President Barack Obama. Israel has traditionally been reluctant to embrace a major European role in Middle East peace-making, preferring to have its main ally, the United States, take the lead. Obama’s proposal to use Israel’s pre-1967 war frontiers as the starting point for negotiations on a Palestinian state in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories captured by Israeli forces in that conflict, has drawn Netanyahu’s ire.
Netanyahu, who met Juppe on Thursday, has said a return to IsraelÂ’s narrow 1967 frontiers would leave it with indefensible borders. He clashed publicly with Obama over the issue during a tense visit to Washington two weeks ago. | |

| #3 ION DRUDGEREPORT > YNETNEWS > [RAND Researcher Gregory S. Jones] REPORT:IRAN CAN PRODUCE NUKE WIDIN TWO MONTHS | AIRTSRIKES CAN NO LONGER STOP [Iran's] NUCLEAR PROGRAM, US CAN DO NOTHING SHORT OF MILITARY OCCUPATION. "2012". War, Invasion + formal Occupation of Iran. IMO its ironic that the US will prefer to undertake MilAction agz Iran wid UNO = UNSC Mandate [read, RUSSIA + CHINA consent], but as time goes on said mandate may become a moot point iff as per Political-Legal Jihad Radical Islam succeeds in electorally taking over or dominating a host of SOVEREIGN MUSLIM GOVTS-STATES WID "SOVEREIGN" NUCPROGS. By definition, their MilTerr proxies will inevitably also go Nukulaar. versus * WAFF > [Israeli PM Netanyahu] PALESTINIANS NOT INTERESTED IN SOLUTION BASED ON 1967 BORDERS. Paleos desire solution based on 1948 Borders. * TOPIX > NETANYAHU: PALESTINIANS [intentionally]TRYING TO FLOOD ISRAEL WID REFUGEES. Benji also says that Arab-Muslim countries are NOT doing enough to stop Paleo violence nor econ help them - IOW, ANY DE FACTO PALEO STATE WILL BE AN ALL-ISRAEL-N-ONLY-ISRAEL SHOW, to support + develop. "FLOOD ... WID REFUGEES" = 'Tis an ancient, "universal"? Human-State method of War, Economics, + Political domination. IFF ONE CANNOT UNILATER MILITARILY DEFEAT AN ENEMY OR MARRY THEM, FORCE THEM TO TAKE [Pro-Islamic,Sharia] HUMANITARIAN CARE OF YOU. Again, PA = PALEO IRONY = EVEN IFF THEY DO GET THEIR SOVEREIGN STATE ANDOR DEFEAT ISRAEL, IT DOES NOT MEAN NEIGHBORING MUSLIM STATES WILL ALLOW THEM TO CONTROL THEIR OWN STATE OR DESTINY. PALEOS = "NORTH KOREA" OF THE MUSLIM MIDEAST. The DPRK = Kimmie + Regime + NOKOR -ISMS want to rule the Peninsula + don't wanna reform or share Govt-State Power or be ruled by CHINA, but cannot defeat the ROK or econ survive widout CHINA. AS GOOD MUSLIMS, THE PALEOS WANNA DESTROY ISRAEL AS A JEWISH STATE + RULE THE LAND WHILE KNOWING THEIR FELLOW MUSLIM STATES AROUND THEM WON'T ALLOW IT. Paleo-specific "Quandry/Quagmire" + that whole wily "Deal(s) wid the Devil" thingy is being polite. * HAARETZ [old] > ISRAEL WON'T WITHSTAND [long-lasting regional] WAR IN THE WAKE OF STRIKE ON IRAN: EX-MOSSAD CHIEF SAYS. Milstrike agz Iran's NucProgs will only force Israel into likely protractive major Regional war agz Iran, etal. poten includ NUCWAR WHICH ISRAEL CANNOT WIN. IOW, Israel is unlikely to prevail or win a war agz Iran even iff it did initiate a successful premptive milstrike agz Iran's NucProgs, espec as Iran had made it clear in times past that once begun, it will not surrender the fight + is willing to detonate NucWeaps on its own soil to defeat any US-led invasion, occupation of Iran proper. SUB-IOW, ISRAEL MUST FIND A WAY TO UNILATER ACCEPT + ACCOMODATE A NUCLEAR = NUCLEAR-ARMED, HOSTILE ANTI-ISRAEL ISLAMIST IRAN; WAR OPTIONS AGZ IRAN M-U-S-T BE THE ABSOLUTE L-A-S-T OPTION FOR TEL AVIV, NOT THE FIRST OR INTERIM. |

| #2 In this case, the Europeans have made their hostility to the Israelis so well known that there is no way they can be acceptable as a neutral participant. That being said, once again most of this is the Israelis fault, for not having dealt with the Palestinian problem long ago, by kicking them all out. Their waffling, and wanting to be liked by everyone, has turned the world against them. |
