State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley publicly praised Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and denied reports in the Israeli press that the administration is angry with him. Privately, however, a number of officials confirmed that the anger at Barak is indeed real.
Reports suggested that Barak had repeatedly promised that he would be able to “nudge” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into a peace deal, and it was suggested that the repeated US blunders on the failed peace process came because the administration assumed Barak was going to convince Netanyahu to make moves that ultimately never came.
With the peace process now entirely dead, it seems that the far right members of the coalition, who condemned the notion of peace on general principle, were the ones who really had Netanyahu’s ear, leaving Barak struggling to explain his failures both to the US and to his own party.
A number of Labor Party leaders have been calling for an immediate meeting to decide on what to do about the end of the peace talks, and a number are calling for the bloc to withdraw from the coalition. Barak, however, has resisted such calls, and insists he won’t allow the party conference to convene until April.
Possibly the real reason U.S. administration is angry at Barak is because he is talking peace rather than the fact he can't deliver it.
The latest news is, the US, not the Zionists in Israel, is to blame for the settler building non-moritorium. Naturally, our Zionist media owned and run mostly by Jewish people, is picking up this latest propaganda tidbit and desperately trying to run with it.
Israeli Army Chief Gabi Ashkenazi was quoted in a 2009 wire leaked by wiki that it was a good time to attack Lebanon or a follow up the slaughter in Gaza. General Ashkenazi was the person in charge of the slaughter on the turkish ship. All the news about Israel is controlled and seldom do we get a true nature so the leaked wire is welcome in that it shows the true nature of the beast.
AIPAC official web page cries about the huge military cost that Israel is burden with but as this article shows that Israel does not want peace. Israel need a huge military because they have such a huge cost of occupying the land stolen in 1967 and the continue bad habit of attacking neighbors. As General Ashenazi started Israel attacks when it is good timing instead of when they need to defend the nation. The USA could safe Social security just by ending aid to the rich nation of Israel. We would be helping both nations by ending the clearly insane military industrial complex. The world needs peace not war but then again Israeli Army Chief Gabi Ashkenazi might have to return to his roots as porn director.
Another instance of our clueless US administration not understanding who they're dealing with. As if that maniac of bibi can be persuaded by anyone to give peace a try. If the US is interested in middle east peace why do they continue to finance the murderers in israel and provide them with all the weapons they want?
