State Dept: US Goal to Expel Jews in 'Occupied' Post-67 Lands
INN ^ | NOTE THE DATE 11-11-09 | Hana Levi Julian

Posted on 11/11/2009 5:21:26 AM PST by Tigen

(IsraelNN.com) A top State Department official spelled out on Tuesday that the goal of the United States in its negotiations in the Middle East is to pressure Israel into expelling Jews from Judea and Samaria in order to "end the occupation that began in 1967."

William J. Burns, Under Secretary for Political Affairs, said in his address to the Middle East Institute Tuesday that he sees the U.S.mandate as one of "determined leadership" and that American must be straightforward about its intentions.

Israel will never agree to this. Nor should they.

That is never going to happen. In the post-Goldstone Era, Israel is simply not going to agree to massive territorial withdrawals. Under-Secretary Burns has still not adjusted the Administration's thinking to the realities of the post-peace process world.

Had to read this to believe it:

“”Our goal in the region is clear,” he said, “two states living side by side in peace and security; a Jewish state of Israel, with which America retains unbreakable bonds, and with true security for all Israelis; and a viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967, that ends the daily humiliations of Palestinians under occupation, and that realizes the full and remarkable potential of the Palestinian people.”

NEVER.

When is Israel going to catch a break?

During the Clinton Era, they had their arms twisted on the Oslo Accords, during the Bush Era they faced a two front Jihad with random rocket attacks, now the Obamao Era sees a policy to expel them from land they have settled upon.

. . . to pressure Israel into expelling Jews from Judea and Samaria in order to "end the occupation that began in 1967.

Will they revert back to the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian occupation that began in 1948? I say by all means, give Gaza back to Egypt and give the West Bank back to Jordan. They have no qualms about the massacre of Palestinians who act up.

Further, he said, "We seek to deepen international support for the Palestinian Authority’s impressive plan to build over the next couple years the institutions that a responsible Palestinian state requires. And we also seek progress toward peace between Israel and Syria, and Israel and Lebanon, as part of a broader peace among Israel and all of its neighbors."

Yeah, really impressive. The 'Palestinians' and Arafat were supposed to start building those institutions in the early '90s per the Oslo accords. In fact, some Muslims became alarmed that the 'Palestinians' might actually intend to work toward peace with Israel. But Arafat reassured a group of South African Muslims that there was no reason to worry, that Oslo would be like the Treaty of Hubaidiya, where Mohammed made a treaty with the citizens of Mecca, but returned only two years later with an army of 10,000 and conquered the city.

So, here we go again with Obama pressuring Israel to enter into more negotiations with people haven't lived up to their agreements in the past and have no intention of doing so now or later. It's all a long term strategy to destroy Israel.

I’d like to see the Mossad start digging up and leaking dirt on the Boy King, like his birth certificate, passports, and transcripts.

Normally I’d object to a foreign power unseating a sitting US President by doing sneaky stuff like this but in this case I’d welcome it.

"Woe to any nation that goes against my people Israel."

It never fails. Whenever we do anything to harm Israel, we get some kind of disaster in the U.S.

October 30, 1991: The Perfect Storm — Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider “land for peace” in Israel’s Middle East
August 23, 1992: Hurricane Andrew—When the Madrid Conference moves to Washington DC
January 16, 1994: Northridge Earthquake—President Bill Clinton meets with Syria's President Hafez el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights.
January 21, 1998: Lewinsky Scandal—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Clinton at the White House and is coldly received. Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright refuse to have lunch with him.
September 28, 1998: Hurricane George—As Secretary of State Albright works on the final details of an agreement in which Israel would give up 13 percent of Yesha (Judah and Samaria)
October 15-22, 1998: Texas Flooded—On October 15, 1998, Arafat and Netanyahu meet at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled to last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13 percent of Yesha.
November 30, 1998: Market Capitalization Evaporates—Arafat comes to Washington again to meet with President Clinton to raise money for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital.On the same day, the Dow Jones average drops 216 points, and on December 1, the European Market had its third worst day in history. Hundreds of billions of market capitalization were wiped out in the U.S. and Europe.
December 12, 1998: Clinton is Impeached—As Clinton lands in the Palestinian-controlled section of Israel to discuss the “land for peace” process, the House of Representatives votes four articles of impeachment against him.
May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super Tornado—On the day that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital, the most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas.
Week of October 11: Hurricane, Earthquake and Dow Collapse—As Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank (Israel) settlements are evicted from the covenant land in Israel, the Dow-Jones financial averages lose 5.7 percent in the worst week since October 1989. On October 15 the Dow lost 266 points, and a hurricane slams into North Carolina. On the next morning, October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks the southwest in the fifth most powerful earthquake in 20th Century. The earthquake was centered in the California desert and did little damage but was felt in three states.
Also on September 6, Bush holds a meeting with his top advisers and suggests a change of policy towards Palestine, including public support for a separate Palestinian state. However, days before Bush is to announce these new policies, the 9/11 attacks take place.

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not!

When is Israel going to demand that we expel our citizens from the land we “occupied” here in the Western U.S.A. circa 1848?

Are the Greeks going to demand that the Turks remove their citizens from the land they “occupied” in 1453?

NEW RULE: Land taken in war is land taken in war, and it is yours as long as you can keep it; unless you are Jewish, then you are an illegal occupier.

that realizes the full and remarkable potential of the Palestinian people

Now I realize that people are people, but look at the cumulative products of the "Palestinian people" so far. Have they advanced science? Culture? Have they promoted peace? What exactly have they produced or given us other than crude homemade rockets and exploding martyrs? I'm sorry, but when I think of the Palestinians "enriching" the lands of Judea and Samaria, I think of the Gaza greenhouses. I think of lands stripped bare and made into bitter, never-satisfied launching areas.

And the matter of a "contiguous" Palestinian state...look at a map and connect Gaza with the West Bank. What happens to Israel? Oops, too bad.

I don’t agree with this. Even though Hussein is in the Oval Office, there are large numbers of people in America who are loyal friends of Israel.

Apparently the punk in the White House can be forceful when he wants to be. When it’s advantageous to further his agenda, which is islam.

On the other hand, when it comes doing to something to stop the islamic spread, such as adding troops to Afghanistan, or taking a firm stand against the murderer in Ft. Hood, he waffles or makes no decision at all.

I’ve had this gnawing feeling for a while now - maybe the reason for us not knowing anything about him at all is tied to the fact that he is there representing islam. The most powerful man in the world sits in that Oval Office representing islam. On purpose.

"In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." - Barack Hussein Obama

Exactly. It really explains a lot of things. Why we don’t know anything about him, why everything has been scrubbed regarding his past. It explains his current associations, his radicalism, why he’s running this country into the ground economically. Why the first thing he did as presIDent was address the Arab world, why he doesn’t treat our best allies, Britain and Israel as best allies but worst enemies, why he won’t show his birth certificate, why “terrorism” no longer exists, heck the list goes on and on and on.

This has been all set up. The marxist thing is a cover.

And all this for the sake of peace and the creation of a Palestinian state?

I’m sorry, but there are alot of delusional people on this matter working in very high places in our frakin’ government.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not bring peace to the region.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not ned the ongoing cycle of violence.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not end the acts of terrorism aimed at Israel.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not disarm Hezbollah or HAMAS nor change their inherent agendas and goal of destroying Israel.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not change anything the Iranians are doing aimed at the state of Israel.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not stop the UN from continuing its established antisemitism.

The creation of a Palestinian state will not change anything!

These frakin people are living in and acting upon unicorn and rainbow dreams and yet they wonder why their Iranian policy initiatives are FAILING!? They have no clue, period.
