Time to re-evaluate the peace process

Obama is insisting on the creation of Palestine with a border separating it from Israel based on the ’67 lines plus swaps. In doing so he is ignoring UNSC resolution 242 which grants Israel the right to secure and recognized borders and does not demand a full retreat to the ’67 lines. He is also threatening to allow the UNSC to impose such borders on Israel thereby circumventing his oft stated insistence that all matters are to be negotiated between the parties.

Ben-Dror Yemini, writing in YNET, which is left of center and Netanyahu's arch enemy, makes the case, "Given the upheaval in the Arab world, Obama needs to ask himself why he thinks a Palestinian state is viable right now; meanwhile, Israel's right needs to understand that its actions are leading to a bi-national state."

According to Hamas' official television station, "Christians, Communists and Jews must be eliminated down to the very last man." Hamas has the support of 61 percent of the Palestinians. Even if we assume that support for Hamas will fall, Hamas will take a violent stand against its opponents. Some of the Hamas leaders are talking about "the conquest of Rome and Andalusia."

Is Obama listening? Does Obama know that Hamas won the last election? Is it hard for Obama to understand that a Palestinian state would mean, in all likelihood, another Jihad state and more bloodshed? What gives him the illusion that a Palestinian state will become a model of stability? Where is there stability under one of the Jihad movements?

Will Qassem Soleimani sit by quietly and allow peace to flourish? And what kind of agreement could be achieved anyway? Is there a Palestinian leader – even just one - who is willing to accept the peace proposals submitted by Obama or JStreet?

The only peace the Palestinians want is the Piece of Land that Israel sits on

Obama knows exactly what he is doing, or trying to do. Which is to klll the dam*ed Joos. Period, end of file.
Ideally, he’d like a socalled “peace treaty” now (if only to “justify” his Peace Prize, barf!). And the actual blood-letting to be deferred a “decent interval” (to at least after he leaves office, if, God willing, he does).

And he’s getting more and more dangerous as he realizes he lacks the power to bring this about (and as his time is running out).

We must all be especially watchful these next 22 months.
