The US’s diplomatic 20th and
21st centuries history is “inflated” with failures [from the
inability of Woodrow Wilson to join the league of Nations, the lost of Eastern
Europe to the USSR following WW2, Vietnam, Korea, Cuba, Hungary [1956], Czechoslovakia
[1967], Bin Laden, Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, president Eisenhower bullied England, France and Israel during the 1956
campaign against Egypt as he feared a conflict with the USSR, notwithstanding
the fact that at the same time [just days away] The Warsaw Pact invaded
Hungary. Notwithstanding Secretary Dallas promises to the Hungarian
revolt, nothing – but nothing – was doen.
President Obama is bullying
Netanyahu. The issue of building in
Jerusalem is a symbol of hypocrisy by “ a fair broker”. The approval for
building in Jerusalem causes the most severe crises between US and Israel
since the tenure of President Carter. Now, Palestinians built
thousands [yes, thousands] of houses without obtaining licenses. Not a
word to Abu Mazen, as the freezing of the status quo applies to Israel
only. If only Israel is prohibited from building, but the
Palestinians can, then Obama and Secretary Clinton are
not preparing for negotiations, they
have concluded the negotiation by insisting at
this stage that Israel freezes everything, not the Palestinians. Fair
mediator? Why does the kiss to Sohara Araft come to mind?
