Though for all intents and purposes the peace talks appear to be fully dead, the Obama Administration is continuing to make additional pledges to visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, assuring him of further US largesse in return for a peace deal that is seemingly not coming.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was up to make promises today, assuring Netanyahu of America’s “unshakable commitment to Israel’s security.” She assured that the borders of any Palestinian state would reflect Israel’s requirements.
More than what Secretary Clinton said was what she didn’t say, however. In the course of the talks she made no references to the Israeli settlements, nor to the issue of Israel’s continued expansion of those settlements, which is the reason the talks have stalled.
And while it is unclear if this is directly related to the US pledges of additional support, media reports suggest the US is dramatically increasing the number of weapons it is storing in Israel, adding a number of smart bombs to the stockpile. Though nominally America’s stockpile in case they need it, weapons in the stockpile have been handed over to Israel during its assorted wars.
Barack and Hillary are puppets for the Israel lobby. No matter how damaging their policies are to America's interests, they pursue them to placate their benefactors. If it turns America into a police state, so be it.
Peace in Or TIme! Israel is now openly in control of US foreign policy.
Same ol song and dance
What a sad state of of affairs that Bibi can embarasse the United States and be rewarded for it. It is time for the US to shut up, and admit that it cannot be even handed in any negotiation. The Israeli government is a preverted terrorist entity that will never join the international society, and respect international law unless it hands are forced via world-wide boycott. The US at this time as no leader, or anyone out side of Ron Paul in the US government that cares about America first, and what is best for America.
way to go shrillery, pucker up
Monica…Hillary I guess we all have our masters. Make sure you wash yourself when they are done with you Hillary!
The US fully supports the holocaust that is taking place in palestine. It's just a matter of time until all those bombs they give Israel turns into a major ethnic cleansing campaign. The Israelis are literally either going to expel the Palestinians or exterminate them. One or the other.
