Speaking today to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Jerusalem, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed to renounce every single past agreement the nation of Israel had ever made if the United Nations voted on Palestinian statehood.
Lieberman insisted that such a vote would mean the Palestinians were in violation of every single deal they ever made,and that Israel would no longer honor any of those deals going forward.
Which must inevtably raise the question “how will anyone know the difference.” Indeed those past agreements, particularly the Oslo Accords, have been publicly condemned by Israeli and Palestinian officials alike, and Israel has, since the peace talks were abandoned in September, insisted that peace is “impossible.”
Most of the deals between the two factions are about minor practical issues like the transfer of tax money collected and Israel has regularly violated those agreements at any rate. While Lieberman’s comments are aimed at presenting a philosphical opposition to Palestine as a serious issue, it is unclear exactly how much practical difference it will make, particularly with a far-right coalition governing Israel and the Palestinians moving toward elections.
The Israelis are not a people you CAN live with.
ditto
All deals were off a long, long time ago. Smoke and mirrors and fear. This is what Israel has for Palestinians. UN vote will come and will show the world who obstruct justice and freedom for Palestinian people.
"Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed to renounce every single past agreement the nation of Israel had ever made if the United Nations voted on Palestinian statehood".
As long as this man have such understanding then off course all the deals are off the table.., like Israel have completed any of the deals from Oslo to UN demands and etc. is sounds like if Palestinians are willing to make another deal now and this man is willing to look into it.., and that's exactly (for last 50 years) what Israel governments of all shape and views been doing.., look into it.., while they been killing the peace process as many times as the last one. But then again.., he sounds like that traveling to other countries advertising for Israel “peace process” have produced nothing.., so here we go again.., another ultimatum by an Apartheid and racist regime. You want peace.., boycott Israel totally and internationally.
But, what is "the single past agreement the nation of Israel had ever made" for peace and Palestinian statehood ?!
War criminals are feeling the HEAT.
This is a threat AGAINST others in the region…not Palestinians. Israeli deals with Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt is what Lieberman is really speaking about. He wants those countries (plus the US) to stop the drive for statehood. (which is a boongoggle anyway). So says @TwiddleEastNews
That's right and if the Israelis don't get their way well, they'll pick up their apartheid and go eat worms. Hold their collective breath until Bibi turns blue, stomp their feet, toss themselves on kitchen floor screaming, and pitch one hellish fit all the while slaughtering myriads of Palestinians on account of, that is exactly what the churlish Israelis are prone to do.
All while screaming "anti-semitism" and Holocaust.
All deals are off when Israel is in the mix anyway- they'll make a deal or break it when it is convenient for them regardless of who is negatively affected.
Does this mean that all deals with the US concerning Palestine/Gaza are off as well?
While this is clearly a propaganda ploy, the deeper significance is that Israel is getting desperate and resorting to verbal ultimatums to try and bluff their way out of what is coming at them full speed ahead.
What deals?
A country whose foreign minister is a vulgar criminal cannot be taken seriously.
Hey, guess what – there was NEVER anything on, not from day one – Just land grabbing.
all deals, including the US subsidy, is franklynsteeen ever gonna get a haircut or a real yaab, oh wait that would require a deal of some kind, the dalussions of grandour, off, kiss it, Moses, Abraham, Judus, off, David, just show up, to mass the target, operation space trash will murder em for ya, guilt, rightousness, shame, guilt, off, in fact just turn the whole stupid war pig off, period, thanx
Ahoy Palestine, Full speed ahead
"As for security, every state has the right to self-defense." Israel won't like when this might be applied to Palestine.
What state of Palestine are you talking about? The state and nation never existed.
I'm taking my ball and going home.
The Master Race – wow – a race of war criminals throughout its history as detailed in the Old Testament of the Bible.
As long as the officials involved in renunciation of their commitments said their kol nidre last yom kippur they will be in the clear with Jehovah.
What deals? The ones Israel won't honor? The ones it won't recognize? The ones it won't abide by? Or the ones they won't enter into?
right on!
Oh, you mean there was a 'peace process' after all ? You could have fooled me.
God is not with murdering criminals like the Israely government.The hole world sees the evil and god sees everything so you thing he likes whats going on.Isay he hates it but I dopn't speek for GOD but that is most likly his thoughts that its evil.Why is the US or US lap dogs not telling Israel they better leave the Palistinians alone.There world wide agenda must be the same all evil.The rest of the world sees the crimes against humanity but the US turns a blind eye.Even Israely some Israely troops refuse to be stationed in Palistine because they know whats happening is wrong.The US and Israel truy to make every government in the world look evil exept the ones that do what they are told the truth is they are the evil governments that belong in jail.
At some point the whole rest of the world will tell Israel and the US to stick it! I’m hope I’m alive to see it.
One fed up American.
What is becoming obvious is the change of view about Israel in the US. The left is opposed to the blatant racism and prejudice exhibited by the Israeli government, the right is sick of paying for the Israeli government, the middle is tired of American soldiers dying for Israel, the Christian conservatives are worried about stories of orthodox Jews spitting on Christian ministers and yet for some reason a absolute minority of Americans continue to blindly support Israel, a view hundred politicians who has ceased listened to their electorate and only hear the rustling of Israeli cash, those same dollars rustle billions of US tax dollars and thousands of US military lives.
Highly profitable investment for the land grabbing Israeli government but one that is looking more and more blatantly corrupt as each day goes by.
