Though his first effort to publicly kickstart a new round of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority was rebuked when Israel ruled out any concessions, Secretary of State John Kerry insists that he still believes peace is “not easy, but possible.”
“You have to believe in the possibilities to be able to get there,” Kerry added, though this comment makes it sound as though his “belief” is simply an attempt to formalize the Tinkerbell effect as part of US foreign policy.
Kerry says he is exploring several ideas for the peace process, but the indications are that any real progress is going to have to come behind the scenes, since Israel’s foreign policy officials in particular depend on political support from factions overtly opposed to peace on general principle, and public efforts to get them to make any concessions are inevitably an opportunity for such politicians to grandstand about the futility of such efforts.
US officials indicate that a major goal is solving “mistrust” among the Palestinians, but how they expect to conceivably do this so long as Israel remains determined to maintain the status quo while lamenting that the lack of a deal is entirely the fault of the Palestinians is unclear.
kerry is only blowing smoke up his and his boss A??SE the zionist will kill him should peace prevail they want all of Palestine and will continue genocide as the Yanks did to the native americans.
Are you talking about the "genocide" in which the alleged victims' population not only continues to grow, but is growing faster than the population of the alleged perpetrators? That "genocide" there?
Because perhaps a large percentage of the "alleged" perpetrators are leaving the country en masse? Because perhaps the "alleged" perpetrators are becoming increasingly sterile due to their use of DU bombs in Gaza, as well as the massive amount of DU munitions dropped on Iraqis by the USA?
These are facts, not speculation. You can call it whatever you want, it is state-sanctioned terrorism and creeping genocide based on a racist, psychopathic theology.
I didn't say it wasn't state-sanctioned terrorism.
I just pointed out that if the population you are "genociding" keeps growing, and even faster than your own, either it's not genocide that you're doing, or you're not very good at it.
There are local and overall effects. Ie, an overall population can grow while locally the population is removed from one location after another. And, when a population sees this happening to them, then they are quite right to forecast the intended result of this if it is never made to stop.
And, if the only reason genocide isn't happening overall is because the Israelis aren't very good at it so far, then that's not very reassuring as that can always change. I'd suspect the Jewish population in Germany continued to rise overall from Hitler's coming to power in 1933 up until about 1942 or 43 or so. That's about when the Nazi's got "good at it".
Maybe it's not rape if the rapist can't get it hard enough to penetrate the victim…..
How far does penetration need to proceed for there to be a rape, as opposed to an attempted rape? In most U.S. States, any non-consensual penetration with anything by force is rape…
The Israeli soft core genocide therefor is not not genocide because of it's less than stellar effect.. Just as what the Reich did to the Jews was genocide despite the thankfully unsuccessful outcome of their final solution…
It's a heavy cross you are forced to bear here, and at large, Brother Knapp…… Very Niemöller like………
Everything is possible in this world.., that is to say if USA truly wants to have a peace.., Israel needs US free money so as the Europeans free money and supports.., Kerry needs to pay attention that if that support.., so as free money is not given then and only then Israel will understand this simple fact.., that Israel needs to start withdrawing back to its 1967 border.., as proposed by united nation where USA and EU have ignored the fact for last 60 years.
The US could impose peace if that was the US priority.
The real Administration priority is to play to the domestic audience manipulated by Israel.
Kerry is just kidding.
No, what he's actually saying is that the Palestinians can surrender and totally submit to Israel and the USA anytime they want. That's basically the 'peace deal' that Israel in the US have been offering for some time now.
Later, he speaks of 'mistrust among the Palestinians' as a problem to solve. This is of course exactly the same point of view the Bush Administration had and which gave people like Karen Hughes a job trying to get the Muslims to like us … as we robbed and killed them.
Of course, the real reason there is 'mistrust' is because its clear both that Israel means to crush them and never reach any sort of equitable peace deal that allows them to live their own lives. And because they've seen the US be a strong supporter of Israel and constantly back and pay for Israel's actions. Really, there's "mistrust" after decades of that? The bizarre part is the argument that this is the reason why there can't be peace.
Words without actions are essentially lies.
