AIPAC - Predictable
Nothingness!
Benjamin
Netanyahu delivered one of his weakest speeches at AIPAC. He said exactly what
his audience wanted to hear about Iran, the boycotts against Israel and
Israel's moral superiority compared to other countries in the region - but he
failed to shed new light on any of these topics. (The biggest
problem Israel has is a lack of clear national direction, which cannot be
defined in fear of international 'outrage')
Netanyahu's
lackluster speech is the reason he failed to inspire 1,400 of Israel's US
supporters, Jews and non-Jews, who gathered in a conference hall in Washington.
Netanyahu's
policy had the unequivocal support of leading figures among the American Jewish
religious movements, liberal and conservative as one. (When are liberal
and conservative are on the same page this is definitely a sign of a big
problem, indicating that most American Jews do not know or care about future of
Israel - as it is well known that "two Jews have three opinions"!)
Netanyahu
refrained from praising President Obama and did not compliment him even once -
considered unusual in such occasions. However, he spared no words of affection
for the inexhaustible US Secretary of State John Kerry, in appreciation of his
efforts on the Palestinian issue. While Netanyahu did praise Israeli-American
relations, the fact that he did not have one good word for the president
indicates a harsh disagreement.
Secretary
of State John Kerry - whom the administration sent rather than President Barack
Obama or Vice President Joe Biden - came to AIPAC with a lot of selling to do
on behalf of the Obama administration’s ambitions for the Middle East.
Kerry called
on that sensibility, and his 30-year relationship with Israel and AIPAC, to
urge support for the efforts to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process (which both
sides, PA and Israel, are not interested in) and to get Iran to
agree to abandon its nuclear program.
Kerry
did his best to reassure pro-Israel activists that the President really is a
friend and faithful ally to the Jewish state (a true friend does
not need to resort to verbal ‘convincing’; the deed speaks better than words). The crowd
responded with light (polite) applause and a short standing ovation as he
left the stage. (Were they just happy that he left the stage?)
Senator John McCain
stole the show earlier in the day, winning multiple, rousing, standing ovations
from the largely Democrat audience by excoriating President Obama’s “feckless
foreign policy.” (More likely, fake and amateur and foreign policy which
discredited the United States and has further weakened the US international
standing!)

In
its annual survey of American Jewry published last October, the American Jewish
Committee found that 75 percent of American Jews agree with the statement, “The
goal of the Arabs is not a peaceful two-state agreement with Israel, but rather
the destruction of Israel.”
And
yet, American Jews supported the establishment of a Palestinian state 50% to 47%. Next
week over 10,000 predominantly Jewish American supporters of Israel will gather
in Washington at AIPAC’s annual policy conference. Given their high commitment
to Israel, probably most of those gathered belong to the 47% of American Jews
who opposed Palestinian statehood. Yet at the conference they will embrace the two-state formula. And on March 4 they will go
up to Capitol Hill and tell their representatives that they support it...
Friendly Backstabbing
The
United States believes there is no need for the Palestinian Authority (PA) to
recognize Israel as a Jewish state as part of a peace agreement, State
Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki. Psaki, who spoke to the PA-based
Arabic-language Al-Quds newspaper, said, “The American position is clear,
Israel is a Jewish state. However, we do not see a need that both sides
recognize this position as part of the final agreement.” Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu has been adamant on the PA recognizing Israel as a Jewish
state, explaining that the Arabs’ refusal to recognize Israel stands at the
heart of the conflict.
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
In order to prevent Jews from takingfull
control of the Jewish land, international bigots in the United Nation declared
in 1947 that “population transfer”, which had been used quite successfully as a
tool of conflict resolution, is illegal. Now, in order to be in line with the
Geneva convention, they introduced a new terminology - “humanitarian
relocation” - which performs the same function as “population transfer” used
to! Time has come for Israel to execute “humanitarian relocation” of terror
infested occupiers from Jewish land!

US President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu met in the White House. Regarding the negotiations with the PA, Obama
praised Netanyahu and said that there are “very important and difficult issues”
being discussed in the negotiations, and Netanyahu “takes them all seriously.”
Netanyahu told Obama that he should place pressure on the Palestinian Authority
(PA) if he wants peace talks to progress - not on

Quotes of the Week:
“Today, it’s already impossible to distinguish
between anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism. Modern anti-Semites have turned ‘the
Jewish problem’ into ‘the Israeli problem.’ They have redirected the ‘final
solution’ from the Jews to the State of Israel…” - Prof. Monika Schwarz-Friesel, Technical
University of Berlin. See: Educated Mainstream: The Bastion of Western anti-Semitism
- It is said “Israel has become the Jew among
nations”. International anti-Semites tell Israel to make concessions that will
destroy Jewish state.
It is a historically
proven fact that allies can’t rely on the US!
Israel
can expect to face international isolation and possible sanctions from
countries and companies across the world if Benjamin Netanyahu fails to endorse
a framework agreement with the Palestinians, US President Barack Obama
cautioned Israel ahead of a meeting with the Prime Minister Netanyahu. (What an
arm-twisting and blackmailing and blatant pressuring attitude toward Israel. There
is no other state that is subjected to or would tolerate it!)
Not
long before AIPAC, US President Obama publicly embarrassed the
Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, by saying during an interview with
Bloomberg View columnist Jeffrey Goldberg that if Netanyahu “does not believe
that a peace deal with the Palestinians is the right thing to do for Israel,
then he needs to articulate an alternative approach. It's hard to come up with
one that's plausible." (There are several alternatives to current Two-State
Solution option - International bigots don’t want to hear about them!)
He did not ask Abbas the same question (he only embarrassed the Israeli PM). Obama continued with saying: “If Palestinians come to believe that the
possibility of a contiguous (West Bank and Gaza are not connected - only on a PA’s map, with no
Israel!) sovereign Palestinian state is no longer within
reach, then our ability to manage the international fallout is going to be
limited.”
Obama
further stated that in his opinion, PA President Mahmoud Abbas “has proven
himself to be somebody who has been committed to nonviolence and diplomatic
efforts to resolve” the conflict. (How has Abbass proven his commitment to
peace - by his intention to destroy Israel? Praising terrorists who kill Jews
is his way to show commitment to peace!)
