In One Ear and Out the Other

Anything that comes out of Israel and their mouthpiece AmeriKan MSM.

"Egypt’s Mubarak mounts pressure for direct Palestinian peace talks" by Sarah El Deeb, Associated Press | July 19, 2010

CAIRO —Pressure intensified on the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to agree to direct peace talks with Israel as Egypt held separate back-to-back meetings with the two sides yesterday in search of a compromise.

Abbas has said he won’t negotiate directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unless Israel agrees to recognize its 1967 frontier as a basis for the borders of a future Palestinian state and accepts the deployment of an international force to guard them.

And since Israel will not agree....

Netanyahu has refused to be pinned down on a framework for negotiations.

Except for the preconditions of keeping all settlements and Jerusalem.

In an effort to sound out the prospects for a move to direct talks, President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt met with Abbas, Netanyahu, and US Mideast envoy George Mitchell separately yesterday in Cairo.

Egypt has friendly ties with both Israel and Abbas’s Palestinian Authority, and Cairo — like Washington — is pushing to narrow the divide between the two sides and coax them back to the negotiating table....

Blah, blah, blah.

Just doing the master's bidding.

None of the leaders in the Egyptian meetings spoke after yesterday’s talks, but Egypt’s foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, told reporters there is still work to be done to get the Palestinians to move to direct talks.

“There must be a strong Israeli strategic move that would deepen Palestinian trust in Israel’s intentions, so we can move from indirect to direct talks,’’ Aboul Gheit said. “Egypt thinks there is the need for direct talks, that they are the road to reach a settlement . . . but to have these direct talks, the atmosphere must be ripe and enough progress made.’’

Cairo called for a more hands-on US role with the two sides to lay the groundwork for direct negotiations. Aboul Gheit said this could include at least a general framework from Washington for the final settlement.

Yeah, except we have to clear it through Israel first.

“We are still hopeful that we can bridge that gap, the gap between the needs of security for Israel and the borders for the Palestinians,’’ Aboul Gheit said. “You have to create the basis to proceed from indirect to direct talks. That is still lacking. We need to help the Americans and both parties to come closer to each other.’’

He said Mubarak received a message yesterday from US President Obama and a telephone call from US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging a swift move to direct peace talks.

Translation: Israel directed us to put pressure on the dying Mubarak.

So much for the INTERNATIONAL ACT of PIRACY and the KILLING of an American, 'eh?

Aboul Gheit said he hoped that by September there would be enough progress to allow the Palestinians and Israel sit at the same negotiating table.

The four months set aside for Mitchell’s shuttle diplomacy and Israel’s partial curb on settlement construction on the occupied West Bank will have come to an end by September.

In failure, of course.

Israeli defense officials have said that Israel is considering expanding the role of Palestinian security forces in West Bank towns and removing additional checkpoints that hinder the movement of people and goods. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because no final decision had been made.

We have heard it all before.

"Abbas seeks US border input for Palestinian state" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | July 22, 2010

JERUSALEM — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas wants the United States to spell out its views on the borders of a Palestinian state before resuming direct negotiations with Israel, an adviser said yesterday, raising a condition that Israel is unlikely to accept.

Which tells you who is calling the shots in the special USraeli relationship.

President Obama’s envoy, George Mitchell, has been mediating low-key indirect talks for weeks, but no progress has been reported. Israel and the United States believe direct negotiations should resume, but the Palestinians are reluctant....

Yeah, it's the Palestinians blocking peace.

Abbas is in a precarious political position, ruling only the West Bank after the Islamic militant group Hamas overran Gaza three years ago, while facing Hamas challenges and internal party squabbles in the West Bank. His weakness limits his ability to compromise in peace negotiations.

I am SO SICK of the ENDLESS REPETITION of LIES in my jewspaper!

Yeah, I wondered what I was reading.

Likewise, Netanyahu heads a hard-line ruling coalition that would not endorse concessions made by the previous government.

"Netanyahu visits Jordan to push for peace talks; Wants king to reach out to Palestinians" by Jamal Halaby, Associated Press | July 28, 2010

AMMAN, Jordan — In a surprise visit to Amman yesterday, Israel’s prime minister tried to mobilize Jordan’s king in his effort to persuade the Palestinians to resume direct peace talks, although the chief Palestinian negotiator again rejected the idea.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel made his quick trip to neighboring Jordan after a Palestinian document, obtained Monday by the Associated Press, noted that George Mitchell, President Obama’s envoy, is also pressing the Palestinians to restart direct peace negotiations with Israel....

What a bunch of slaves to that shit-stinking carcass of a war-criminal nation.

Palestinians insist that before upgrading indirect talks mediated by Mitchell, Israel must halt all settlement construction and accept the concept of a Palestinian state in all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, with some territorial adjustments....

“The formula for peace is a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state,’’ Netanyahu said after demanding security arrangements without giving details.

Yeah, ISRAEL can KEEP THEIR US.-SUPPLIED MURDER MACHINES but the Palestinian must give up their slingshots!

That idea is GOING NOWHERE -- which I'm sure is the reason Israel put it out there.

Jordan and Egypt are the only Arab nations that have full peace treaties with Israel. Relations between Jordan and Israel have cooled as the Israel-Palestinian peace process drags on with no visible results.

More than half of Jordan’s nearly 6 million people are of Palestinian descent. Jordan fears that deadlocked negotiations could lead to another influx of Palestinian refugees from the West Bank, disturbing the country’s delicate demographic balance....

Unless Israel kills them all first!
