West Must Discard Fascist Israel

Time has Run-out for Fascist Israel in Mideast (Part -74)

It is a matter of international shame that Western powers have not yet initiated any serious step to contain the Zionist fascism destroying the Palestine. Despite the internal differences between Hamas and Fatah, the Palestinians are still committed to a negotiated peace deal, they have grown increasingly frustrated and have started taking alternative actions to put Israel on the defensive. As part of that campaign, they have been seeking unilateral recognition of an independent Palestinian state, even in the absence of a peace deal.

The European powers in connivance with USA and Israel just play “security” gimmicks only to provoke the Israeli military to attack defenseless Palestinians. So far, many European countries have ensured safe passage in UN for Zionist crimes but they are yet to recognize Palestine. However, there seems to be a  shift in the focus of bulk of European states on Israel. Upon failures by UN, Quartet, Arab nations, now the 26 EU group has taken some steps in peace deal direct. 

USA and its European allies keep offering sumptuous aid, including arms and other terror goods. The most important binding factor among them is sharing of intelligence and collaborative operations, including secret terror actions. The latest snag concerned a pledge that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made to provide Israel  20 F-35 stealth warplanes worth $3 billion free of charge. Israel says USA would also help in UN with Israeli holocaust issue. Many even thought this push for a “borders first” deal on a three-month deadline works, and then galvanizes a more comprehensive drive for a comprehensive, just final status peace agreement. If it doesn't, then perhaps it will be time to consider a new approach rather than just trying harder at the same things.

After a break of almost two years, the so-called direct talks resumed in Washington in September, only to collapse over Israel's refusal to stop building settlements in the occupied West Bank. The US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians collapsed after Israel refused to extend a 10-month moratorium over freezing settlement constructions in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Abbas and other Palestinian officials had threatened to use other diplomatic options, including dissolving the Palestinian Authority, in case Israel keeps insisting not to freeze building settlements. Fatah Leader Salam Fayyad said recognition by many countries would “enshrine” the Palestinians’ right to a state in all of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which Israel captured along with East Jerusalem in a 1967 war.

Bulk of Zionists is opposed to the proposed US deal for freeze , warning that Washington was setting a trap to extract major concessions later down the line. Israeli Terror PM Netanyahu unveiled the U.S. inducements to his cabinet last weekend and appeared hopeful the ministers would back plans for a “temporary halt” to building in the occupied West Bank to overcome a hurdle to the peace talks. However, Israel official said on Nov 19 Friday that the USA had not yet provided the guarantees that Israel wanted, with Washington reluctant to commit to paper all the promises Netanyahu says he was offered verbally last week. Politicians said Washington was backtracking and now wanted some sort of payment for the coveted fighter aircraft.

Possibly expecting, as before, more US carrots without a stick, Zionist Israel has rejected Obama administration’s “special packages” for a possible slow downing of fascist trends of Israel. The incentives include 20 free advanced F-35 fighter jets and assorted promises to defend Israel at the U.N. and other international forums on sustained holocausts of innocent Palestinians which allays Israeli false fears. This new offer is in exchange for a 90-day extension of a settlement freeze. During 90 days, the Israelis and Palestinians are to go back to the bargaining table as decided by Tel-Aviv bosses and concentrate on sketching out an agreement on borders, which would generate progress and reduce the risk of future battles over settlements. Israel has learnt the tricks of terror trade and knows how to make the talks bogus. Since the USA promises not to ask for another extension, the 90-day deadline gives all kinds of incentives for those who don't really want a deal to stall. But Israel can betray all hopes.

Following a briefing from Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at a meeting in Cairo, Arab foreign ministers have rejected further Palestinian-Israeli peace talks without a "serious offer" from the US on ending the Middle East conflict. The Arab League ministers said they would seek a UN Security Council resolution against settlement building. "Resuming the negotiations will be conditioned on receiving a serious offer that guarantees an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict," the ministers said in a statement read by Arab League chief Amr Moussa. The group follow-up committee on the Middle East peace process "sees that the direction of talks has become ineffective and it has decided against the resumption of negotiations. The ministers also decided "to bring up the issue of Israeli settlements again to the Security Council", wanting the UN body to adopt a resolution "that confirms... the illegal nature of this activity and that would oblige Israel to stop it". They called on the US, which has vetoed resolutions against Israel in the past, not to obstruct such a move.

Israel keeps harping on fictitious security concerns while Palestinians are butchered and mutilated by Israeli military terrorists. Last month, the Israeli government was forced to reveal that the blockade was imposed not for security reasons. After a freedom of information request by the Israeli human rights organization Gisha, the Israeli government released documents saying the blockade was originally tightened as part of a policy of "deliberately reducing" basic goods for people in Gaza in order to put pressure on Hamas. Instead of considering security concerns, on the one hand, and the rights and needs of civilians living in Gaza, on the other, Israel banned glucose for biscuits and the fuel needed for regular supply of electricity - paralyzing normal life in Gaza and impairing the moral character of the State of Israel.

With Israel continuing genocides and settlement proliferation in Palestine, Mediators for Mideast crisis seem to have lost hopes, notwithstanding some, vaguely positive signals for the White House. Last year, Obama and Mrs Clinton said a solution to the core problems could be found within a year. Direct talks were set up with great fanfare by President Barack Obama. But earlier this week the US abandoned efforts to persuade Israel to stop new construction of Jewish settlements. US terror Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has expressed frustration at the latest setback to Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, but insisted that the US would continue to push for progress. She vowed to promote indirect talks on "core issues" including borders, settlements, refugees and Jerusalem. Her speech, the first Middle East policy address following the US's abandoning its efforts to persuade Israel to halt construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, laid bare the frustrations of the Obama administration about peace making in the Middle East.

Recently, a group of 26 EU leaders urged the Union to impose sanctions on Israel for continuing to build settlements on occupied Palestinian territory. Recently, a group of 26 EU leaders has urged the union to impose sanctions on Israel for continuing to build settlements on occupied Palestinian territory. In a letter sent on 04 Nov, they said Israel "like any other state" should be made to feel "the consequences" and pay a price for breaking international law. The signatories include the former EU foreign affairs chief, Javier Solana. But in a written response Solana's successor, Catherine Ashton, said the bloc's approach would remain unchanged. They have asked the EU foreign ministers to reiterate that they "will not recognize any changes to the June 1967 boundaries and clarify that a Palestinian state should be in sovereign control over territory equivalent to 100% of the territory occupied in 1967, including its capital in East Jerusalem". It also asks ministers to set the Israeli government an ultimatum that, if it has not fallen into line by April 2011, the EU will seek an end to the US-brokered peace process in favor of a UN solution.

Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Ecuador announced recognition of Palestinian statehood in the past month. Chile, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua are reported to be weighing the same move. Australia, Japan, Korea and New Zealand would now recognize the Palestinian state on the 1967 borders. Brazil recognized the Palestinian state on the 1967 borders in early December. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Brazil to lay the cornerstone of the Palestinian Embassy there on Jan. 1. Palestinians expect wider recognition of their statehood in the coming year and it will mean more than the mere “Facebook state” predicted by an Israeli minister.

As usual, the Zionist fascists play with words and an Israeli foreign terror ministry official said the proposal represented "a giant leap of bad faith". Possibly Israel knows the Europeans cannot be serious and they play usual dirty politics just for the sake of it.  The EU has staved off Palestinian pressure in favor of waiting until an “appropriate” time, while the US House of Representatives passed a resolution this month saying only peace talks could set such a process in motion. Israel says that the US and Europe might stray from the idea of unilaterally establishing a Palestinian state.

Devils have sworn to disrupt peace in the world. Israel's failure to live up to its commitments and the lack of international action to lift the blockade are depriving Palestinians in Gaza of access to clean water, electricity, jobs and a peaceful future. The import levels into Palestine are cruelly restricted and they are still only just over one-third of what they were before 2007 when the blockade was originally tightened. Only a tiny fraction of the construction materials needed to rebuild Gaza are being allowed in. In June, Israel said it would allow in construction material for projects carried out by organizations such as the UN. But the Israeli fanaticism does not keep its word and it will take decades to carry out the UN's housing and schools projects in the strip..

Western powers as much as UNSC continue to play dirty politics with the lives of Palestinians by fueling the Mideast crisis with more and more high precision  weapons and they have not yet initiated any serious steps to contain the Zionist fascism sworn to destroy Palestine. They never imposed any credible sanctions to cripple the  terror might of Zionist regime and just play usual gimmicks only to provoke the Israeli military to attack defenseless Palestinians.

Perhaps, for the first time in Zionist history in Mideast, the Israeli regime, thus far thriving on fascist operations in Palestine and elsewhere, is witnessing an international isolation that it hasn’t witnessed before. The Obama administration’s firmness with an arrogant Israel, albeit in small measure and refusal of Palestinians to resume the nonsensical  “talks”, has somewhat made the  Zionist regime and its powerful Mossad spy network a bit nervous now, not knowing how to proceed further with the usual “talks” gimmicks.  The current Israeli coalition’s stated commitment to a two-state solution could not be relied on given the erosion that has taken place. The Palestinians are expected to submit a proposal calling for a Security Council resolution to halt Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.

Obviously, President Obama’s attempt, however shaky it might be, to seek peace in Mideast is the right battle to choose, as an indicator of Israeli intentions and as a signal to the Palestinians of U.S. seriousness. But as Obama tries to make the peace process work, the CIA-Mossad agencies are also at work derailing that process. Where President Obama set out realistic sweeping goals and offered a deep and sustained commitment to seeking peace, the execution of his strategy immediately got bogged down. The problem is not that he chose to fight an improbable battle over settlements, as conventional wisdom has now concluded. The problem isn't even entirely that he lost that battle, as damaging as that was to U.S. credibility and strategy, since even a losing battle demonstrated Obama's willingness to pay costs to achieve the goal.

On the face of it, nobody can doubt the US administration's deep and enduring commitment to trying to broker Israeli-Palestinian peace. The president has paid significant domestic and international costs for his efforts. His administration has persevered impressively in the face of considerable pressure to back away and despite few tangible benefits from U.S. involvement in the issue. His administration has done everything possible to demonstrate its support for Israel even as it continues to insist that achieving a peace agreement is a vital U.S. national security interest. Obama still refuses to initiate punitive measures as the next American tool to secure freeze, Palestine and peace.

The chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said Palestinian Authority (PA) will soon present the UN Security Council (UNSC) with a draft of a resolution declaring statehood in the coming days to pursue Palestine state when Bosnia takes the UNSC’s presidency in January and he expressed his hope that the US would not veto the move. Seventeen years of latest edition of peace efforts had failed to deliver this promise.

It is strange, rather funny, that US led western leaders do not use threatening tone against fascist Israel for its terror operations and illegal settlement proliferation. US Obama is not different either. While uttering loud noise about terrorism, Hamas, freedom fighters in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, Obama keeps a low voice talking to Israel. Not only Obama entire set of American leaders do the same nonsense day after day.  Obviously, USA does not want to “hurt” the Jewish sentiments, but the sentiments and life of Palestinians could be crushed, yet, Obama would not say a word against Jewish fascism. On the contrary, he like hi predecessors, would invite the Israeli rogues for dinner, talks and exchange of arms and technology.

USA, EU and East must now discard Israel and fascism. Israel could become a normal state to function normally without attacking its neighbors, without occupying the lands of Palestine and stop murdering Palestinians. Israel does not have the power to challenge the West and lose the illegally constructed Zionist regime. .It has got to change!

In order to secure peace, tranquility and prosperity  in Mideast, the US-UK led western powers must distance themselves from Israel and stop supporting its fascist operations killing innocent Palestinians and other Arabs in the region. They could push for the exit of Zionist regime form Mideast if that is  the only operations for establishing  much delayed Palestine state to help Palestine live free form Israeli terror attacks, genocides, expansion of illegal settlement proliferation.
