NADAV SHRAGAI: APPEASEMENT BEGETS TEMPORARY WARMTH FROM THE WHITE HOUSE…..SEE NOTE PLEASE

THEY LOVE US WHEN WE ARE WEAK. During the Oslo Process, Israel Felt Warmth From the White House. Then rivers of blood began to flow here.

BY THE TIME THE INK WAS DRY ON OSLO TERRORISM ESCALATED THROUGHOUT ISRAEL, ARABS ESCALATED THEIR DEMANDS AND IN THE WYE PLANTATION ALBRIGHT AND CLINTON PILED ON ISRAEL TO GIVE UP EVEN MORE…..RSK

If it had been up to U.S. President Barack Obama or even previous American presidents who were friendlier to Israel, Jerusalem would have been left sealed off and divided. If it had been up to the Americans, the United Nations would have controlled the Old City to this day; Israel would have been prevented from uniting Jerusalem; the alleyway at the Western Wall would still be as ridiculously narrow as it was during the British Mandate; the Golan Heights would have remained devoid of Jewish settlement; Israel would have been prevented from bombing the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981; and David Ben-Gurion would have withdrawn from his “occupation” of the Negev in 1948.

If it were up to the U.S., it is very possible that the state of Hamastan would have extended not just throughout the south, but would have reached the gates of Kfar Saba, Netanya and Tel Aviv, and tens of thousands of Jews would have been expelled from their homes in Judea and Samaria in the same way they were expelled from Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip.

Been there, done that, the bloom is off the rose, familiarity breeds boredom, et al. Barack Obama can’t believe that déjà vu comes even unto him. Four years ago, the nation’s capital was electric with excitement, the airports and Union Station […]

http://www.jidaily.com/61924?utm_source=Jewish+Ideas+Daily+Insider&utm_campaign=e7f96b7d72-Insider&utm_medium=email Over half of Palestinians would oppose a two-state solution, even if Israel withdrew from 97% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to a recent opinion poll. Today Mahmoud Abbas begins the ninth year of his four-year term, having originally taken office on January 15, 2005, after a quickie election held a few […]

YOTAM ETTINGER: Obama’s Criticism of Netanyahu Exposes Palestinian Issue

http://send.hadavars.com/index.php?action=message&l=2096&c=15507&m=14007&s=a317a26441993bdd8f740ee9a6c71bce President Obama’s criticism of Prime Minister Netanyahu – on the eve of the January 22, 2013 Israeli election – underlines the secondary role played by the Palestinian issue in shaping US-Israel strategic cooperation. Since March, 2009, Obama has systematically scorned Netanyahu’s policies on the Arab-Israeli conflict in general and the Palestinian issue, Jerusalem and […]

RUTHIE BLUM: NETANYAHU IS NOT THE CULPRIT

http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=3262 Netanyahu’s not the culprit “I have never heard a [U.S.] president talk about fear of Israel’s survival because of its own policies,” bemoaned former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at a conference in Tel Aviv on Thursday. “Is it in our interest to get into a blatant confrontation with the strongest man in the world?” […]
