Is it Obama’s Double Speech on Palestine?
Time has Run-out for Fascist Israel in Mideast (Part -87)
-DR. ABDUL RUFF
USA is chiefly responsible for an ever rising fascist regime in Mideast. In order to enhance his approval ratings in USA, Obama wants to be in the news with mischievous speeches, tailor-made by the CIA. In his Mideast policy speech on 19th May, US president B. Obama said that border talks must be held on the basis of Israel’s frontier in 1967, before it captured the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem but Israel outrightly dismissed Obama gesture immature. Netanyahu’s stance only strengthened the Palestinian resolve to bypass such talks, largely deadlocked since 2008 and Palestinians say that they would seek recognition of a state at the UN in September, since all negotiations with an arrogant fascist Israel have become pointless after Israel’s fanatic leader and a sworn anti-Palestine, B. Netanyahu rejected President B. Obama’s call to base Mideast border talks on the pre-1967 war lines.
A second time premier, killing Palestinians to appease the illegal Jewish settlers in Palestine, Netanyahu has managed to undermine every single attempt at launching serious negotiations. Recognition of the 1967 line as the starting point, while allowing for mutually agreed land swaps, has been a long-standing Palestinian demand. Obama has officially acknowledged it now.
His predecessor and Republican leader Bush Jr also had pretended, at a later stage, to be a neutral sincere mediator for Mideast peace and also produced a “road-map” to that end only to end it with his speech in Israel to mark the anniversary of illegal Israel, calling the Palestinians the “terrorists” and naming the illegal Mideast entity Israel as America’s trusted ally. Armed with US weapons and Bush endorsement for Zionist crimes against humanity, the Israeli military killed Palestinians in Gaza Strip on the eve of Obama’s assent to power. It has been an innocent looking Obama’s nature to make a few peace statements but in fact he also promotes Israeli fascism. Obama, like a parrot, repeats what the Israeli leaders say against Palestinians.
The Palestinians want to establish their state in their own territories Israel has occupied since the illegal 1967 war ignited by USA-UK terror twins. After so much of blood let, the Palestinians are fed up with fake “talks” with Israeli terror minded leaders. After all, how can they talk about a peace process with an illegal Jew who says the 1967 lines are an illusion, that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel, undivided, and he does not want a single Palestinian refugee to go back to what is now called “Israel”?
As is known, the US-Israeli (CIA-Mossad) link is formidable making all US leaders essentially pro-Zionists for promoting Israeli fascism over Palestinians. The next day on Friday after his “speech”, Obama met the Israeli leader Netanyahu as usual at White House following which Netanyahu laid out hard-line positions. He said the 1967 borders were “indefensible,” that the Palestinians could forget about resettling Palestinian refugees in Israel and that Abbas would have to choose between peace with Israel and reconciliation with Hamas.
Taking a pro-Zionist line, Obama has also warned the Palestinians in his speech that their UN bid would be pointless and twisted the speech with “expectations” of “more explanations” from Abbas about his reconciliation with the elected Hamas government of Palestine, which refuses to recognize Israel. Even as the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who has been consulting by phone with Arab leaders on the Obama speech, is being pressed by Israel to consider abandoning the UN bid, the Fatah leader himself has not responded to parameters for a Mideast peace deal that Obama laid out in a speech on 19th May.
Abbas has refused in the past to negotiate with Netanyahu unless the Israeli leader freezes settlement construction in the territories occupied in 1967. Netanyahu has declined to do so, at most slowing construction in some areas for 10 months last year. Abbas will consult the PLO Executive Committee on UN bid. Since public opinion is bent on going to the UN, in all probabilities, Abbas will be under public pressure to proceed with the bid for UN recognition, especially after Netanyahu’s latest comments.
Israel is eager to escalate terror operations in Palestine. After the gimmick of Netanyahu-Obama meeting, the desperate Palestinians insist that they would escalate our diplomatic efforts to get the recognition of the Palestinian state. A bid to become a UN member requires approval not just from the General Assembly, where the Palestinians might win the needed majority, but also from the notorious UNSC, where the US-UK terror twins, sponsors of Zionism and Israeli fascism, might veto such a step. Palestinians still hope that Obama will not do so, and that he will not stand in their way to freedom and independence, which he wants for all the Arab nations. However, so far, Obama hasn’t threatened a veto. Will or can he outwit the CIA?
USA and Israel are deadly annoyed about the Hamas-Fatah unity efforts after prolonged mutual fighting and killings. West wants to make the Fatah and Hamas kill each other and to end Palestinian race once for all. Palestinian leaders have reiterated that reconciliation is an internal Palestinian issue and that the efforts by Hamas and Abbas’ Fatah movement to form a joint transition government would continue. Outsiders have no business with internal affairs of any nation.
Fatah insists that Hamas-Fatah realignment will result in the formation of a technocrat government without Fatah or Hamas parties, and will have specific duties like the elections and rebuilding Gaza, but USA-Israel gang is eager to reduce the importance of Hamas party. As Hamas and Fatah move closer, the US-Israeli gang is severely upset over the failed attempts to weaken Palestinian movement under PLO and hence the Obama-Netanyahu meeting at WH. In doing so, Obama skillfully confuses Palestinians as well as as the world at large. Is Obama one and same with Bush Jr? The Osama-end issue indicates Obama is mercilessly pursuing all Bushdom polices in full. It is unfortunate!
It is rather funny to observe that USA and Israel still harp on “recognition” of illegal Israel by the occupied and besieged Palestinians whom Israeli military keeps slaughtering like cattle. Now Obama joined the CIA-Mossad chorus about Hamas, saying it has not softened its hard-line stance as part of the reconciliation with pro-Western Fatah. Abbas has argued that he, not Hamas, would represent Palestinians in negotiations.
Obama gives the world the impression that he is totally confused. Meanwhile, Israel keeps killing Palestinians. Obama must make a speech about Zionist crimes against humanity.
