Palestine - where to from here? : Comments

By David Singer, published 30/8/2012

While the Israeli Foreign Minister's letter to the EU is not official, they cannot ignore it.

Yet more biased Israeli propaganda from our friendly author who doesn't know when to quit.
Hopefully within my lifetime the world will come to see Israel for what it really is and get rid of it for good.
In the meantime David will continue to right these silly one sided articles, and most others will continue to ignore him.

I know there is a limit as to how many posts I can add in a certain time. Does anybody know if OLO also has a limit on how many biased articles an author (no names please) can submit in a certain time?
Thanks.

Another excellent article detailing the complexities of the vexing situation in the middle east.

How often we only get the 'surface' and by necessity 'simplistic' account of events and negotiations occurring in this area.
The detail of the posts, accurate and relevant historic context and understandable explanations of the legalities, both local and international is enlightening and refreshing.

The disposition of energy resources, as eluded to in this article "the gas field off the Gaza shoreline" I will follow with particular interest, as I also follow, with increasing concern, the 'rock and a hard place' Isreal finds itself in with regard to Iranian nuclear policy.

I read with interest the observations of David Faber - 29/08/2012 and respect his well written, although somewhat under supported, opinion of the Palistinian/Jordan nexus.

Abuse of OLO editorial policy, in my opinion, unfounded.

Whilst there are those who have the right to view the subject matter of Mr Singers posts as subjective, the language used is invariably objective and supported with reference to documented evidence of comments and assertions made.

Comments that resort to 'ad-hominum' attacks, as opposed to disputing the content, Is intellectually laze and particularly tiresome. Perhaps if the opening sentence of comments made were devoid of these attacks I might read the rest of the comment as opposed to skipping immediately to the next comment.
Whilst Csteel invariably attacks Singers' articles and content, I will read with interest his comment and follow his links.

The “peace process” (a.k.a. surrender process) details and legalities are neither here nor there. Cutting through all the cackle, the bottom line is that the most racist settler state on earth has been plonked at gunpoint on the Palestinian homeland - without Palestinian consent - and there can be no justice and no peace until it is dismantled and replaced by a Palestinian state belonging to everyone who was born there or is genuinely descended from actual (personally identified) individuals who were born there.

How the most racist state on earth? It is proclaimed as a state belonging to the world’s 14 million Jews - defined on purely racial criteria - any of whom can settle there at will. Any others of the world’s nearly seven thousand million people - “goyim” to the Zionists - need not apply. Most would not wish to, but there are more than four million Palestinians living in exile from their own homeland. That, on any definition of racism, is blatantly racist. No other state - anywhere - can match it (nor should). Not only do these nuclear-armed racists sponge on other countries to fund their territorial ambitions, but they demand blood sacrifice the moment their enclave gets scared of the defensive power of its neighbours. Such as Iran.

Where from here indeed! Time to act not dispense more BS?
Israel needs to stop with the making and then breaking agreements!
It won the war but losses the peace a little more each day, with for patently domestic policy purposes, recalcitrant intransigence that has to be seen to be believed.
Israel needs to stop emulating former Nazis or its infamous SS?
It needs to stop the endless migration of American or European Jews. It needs to stop "acquiring" Palestinian land and then opening new Jewish settlements or enclaves on it.
It needs to settle all its border issues/differences with neighbours; before it builds any new settlements, for new migrants!
New settlements, can only ever be on their side of a final and formally agreed to border.
And it clearly needs to resolve all these vexed issues before it attempts any military (mis)adventures over Iran?
It could do a lot worse as a military measure, than covertly enter the Syrian fray on the side of the rebels, supplying expertise, advanced weapons and trained fluent Arab language speaking "Palestinian" volunteers?
The overthrow of the Iran friendly Assard regime, would seriously weaken Iran, rob her of her only regional friend and her current conduit for very easily beating UN endorsed/imposed sanctions?
Iran needs to be isolated; before anyone, even one as well equipped as Israel, attempts any form of limited military engagement? Israel may have to tackle Iran on her own, for fear of inviting other major powers to participate.
A prospect, that would likely turn much of the middle east, into a war ravaged desolate unproductive desert, from which little or no oil would flow?
Oil, which many Middle Eastern economies are totally dependant on!
A prospect, which could only massively compound current problems and regional tensions!
