Al Aryibra news says : Obama is turning his back on peace in the Middle East | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 2731277 United States 03/19/2013 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No plans for peace talks Having no plans of his own to reinvigorate peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, Obama appears to be in retreat from Israeli Right wing Prime Minister Netanyahu who deliberately stalled every attempt Obama tried to make toward achieving a peace settlement. As for Netanyahu any visit by the president of the United States that does not include an attempt to pressure him into making concessions to the Palestinians is a triumph. For the past several years, Netanyahu, quite relentlessly and successfully, as evident of this trip, made Iran’s nuclear program, not the Arab-Israeli conflict, the only serious problem in the Middle East. As a result, and in a complete turnaround of his previous Middle East policy during his first term, Obama will not be pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to freeze illegal settlement buildings in the West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem as a step toward ending the conflict. The president will most likely use his Tel Aviv address as a belated Israeli counter balance to his Cairo address to the Muslim world. |

The trip, more importantly, will be a nod to Israel’s republican and conservative backers in Washington; they accused Mr. Obama of being “anti-Israel” especially during his first term and used the fact that he had never visited Israel as a president prior to this trip. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 2731277 United States 03/19/2013 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing will come of this trip During his meeting with Arab American leaders in Washington last week, President Obama, according to several Arab news reports, told his astonished listeners that they should not expect anything to come out of this trip. By downplaying the expectation of his visit to the region, Mr. Obama is supporting the idea that his visit will be devoid of any substantive immediate steps to reinvigorate an American push for peace between Arabs and Israelis. At least not this year. For Ray Hanania, a Palestinian American columnist based in Chicago, however, Obama’s trip to Israel will be a trip of “atonement.” Hanania told me that “Obama is trying to atone for the sins many Israelis and their backers in Washington accused him of committing when he tried to pressure Netanyahu to freeze the illegal settlements building in Jerusalem during his first term.” According to this line of thinking which is prevalent in the Arab World, Obama is showing weakness vis-à-vis Israel which will eventually undermine America’s image in the Arab World. An image he tried hard over the past four years to rebuild. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34353211 United States 03/19/2013 01:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What most of us think is going to happen when Obama goes to Israel, the Al Aryibra news is saying opposite. It seems they feel very strongly about it as well. Quoting: Indysmindy Read: Obama is turning his back on peace in the Middle East On Tuesday this week President Barack Obama will embark on his least anticipated trip to the Middle East that will take him to Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan. Unlike his 2009 visit to Cairo where he delivered his famous address to the Arab and Muslim world, this visit will lack any substantive efforts to put the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians on track. In essence Mr. Obama has all but turned his back on peace in the Middle East, and will focus instead on Iran as the most important issue in the region.

[link to www.alarabiya.net] Awww, that's too bad, ain it? For Al-Arabiya & Al-Jazeera target audience... anything short of 'Imam Obama' personally sending 'Zionist pigs' into the gas-chambers & ovens... is a giant disappointment. Which doesn't prevent their governments -- Saudi Arabia & Qatar respectively --- from doing secret behind-the-scenes business & intelligence sharing with the 'Little Satan'. (Boy those fat, perma-horny, smelly oil sheiks, princes, emirs love love love them their moneies & hunnies. Keeping the pimp hand strong -- especially when it comes to migrant Palestinian and African workers who are essentially slaves there) And the most pathetic part is that, typical scorched earth Jew-bashing aside.... those Gulf toads driving diamond-encrusted Maserati's & 'Borginis, are actually MUCH more terrified of Iranian nuke program than they are of Israel. As well they SHOULD be -- because Shia Aytollahs in Teheran consider Sunni Gulf Monarchies to be "disgusting heretics & usurpers of Mecca & Medina" --- and can't wait to go nuclear, so that they could literally take away Sunni oil wealth & holy sites (while being protected by Russia and China at the UNSC, of course) Saudis & Qataris know this, too -- which is why they have several Pakistani nukes "on ice" in a special hangar, just waiting the King's and Emir's order (which will be given as soon as Iran is deemed to have officially crossed the nuclear red-line by their intelligence) Can you imagine the kind of CONGNITIVE DISSONANCE that this engenders in them? One one hand "Zionist poison our thoughts & air kill pussycat kill kill kill aharthghgfhg!!!".... on the other --- if Israel takes out Iranian nukes &^military capabilties, then it would Saudi Family, Dubai, Doha toads whose ass they would be saving first and foremost. Dilemma, dilemma! But knowing the extraordinary talent of Mohammadans to solve such dilemmas with sheer magical thinking & ever-shifting moral code... I am sure the Gulf Sunni elites will hold their nose and accept Israel's help, ahahaah on Iran... before resuming their anti=Israeli terrorist crusade immediately thereafter! What a region, what a people... in other words! |
