The Obama administration’s row with Israel over settlements has prompted some analysts to wonder whether it seeks “regime change,” a new government that can make peace with the Palestinians.
However, the analysts doubt that President Barack Obama’s administration, which has made Arab-Israeli peace a national security priority, will achieve anything if it has indeed adopted such a strategy.
In unusually harsh words, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday that his right-wing government’s plans to build new settler homes in … Jerusalem sent a “deeply negative signal” about Israel’s ties to its top ally.
“Is this about regime change, or is it about (Israeli) behavior modification?” asked Aaron David Miller, a Middle East peace negotiator in past Republican and Democratic administrations.
“Because either way, it’s going to be a rocky ride,” Miller told AFP…
Whatever you do, Israelis, do not vote in a surrender cabinet in order to please Obama. Pressure will build for an Israeli surrender because Obama – astoundingly – believes in the Neville Chamberlain approach. That is, he believes if we can just sit down with our enemies and go through our problems with a pencil, we can reach an agreement.
As to why Obama and Co would believe this, I cannot say – other than to suggest that the liberal mind has propagandized itself in to simply taking it on blind faith. This is not the same as, say, Christian faith – which does have its supports in experience and history – no, this is just stubbornly believing something is true in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
The fact is that you can’t make peace between opposites. The Israelis have no designs upon Moslem lands, they live in freedom and have no insane proposals to, say, wipe Syria off the map. The Moslems, on the other hand, don’t live in freedom (for the most part – it is rising in Iraq and you’ll note that Iraq doesn’t spend a lot of time on the issue of Israel or the Palestinians); they have definite designs on Israeli land and, at least a selection of them, are seeking a second Holocaust. Where is the place for peace?
Until the bulk of Islam renounces such things and lives in freedom, there can be no peace. There can be an armed true – there can be expedients to get through the day to day, but there can’t be peace. The only proper course of action for Israel is to look after its security and its own people – if this causes heartache in Islam, then that is entirely Islam’s fault. If they’ll change their ways, then objections can be entertained and negotiations started.
So, ignore Obama, Israel. Let him get up on his high horse. Remain firm – your friends will be back in power soon.
