Condi's Mideast roadmap is being influenced by who!?

By Caroline B. Glick

 
"...relentlessly harsh toward Israel — its sovereignty, its right to defend itself..."

...relentlessly harsh toward Palestine - its sovereignty, its right to defend itself.

"terror organizations" is absent from the report

Terrorists organizations equals revolutionists - dubbed terrorists by a government that wishes to demonize 'other'.

The aim of all the reforms must be the "consolidat[ion of] Fatah as the main political player in Palestinian society."

Fatah equals revolutionists. Blood has been sacrificed to wars in all times and in all religions - in the name of freedom. As Homo Sentient (rational humans) if we continue to refuse to negotiate our differences and find peaceful resolutions our only future is perpetual war due to perpetual fear.

"...it calls for Israel to be treated with hostility and suspicion."

Is Caroline B. Glick calling for Palestine to be treated with hostility and suspicion?

"...a multinational force that will implement the agreements. Implicit in this statement is the assumption that Israel will be prevented by the presence of this force from taking any measures to defend itself against attacks.

If that is true then it is also true a multinational force will prevent Palestine from taking any measures to defend itself against attacks by Israel.

"The Palestinian people establish a viable state in the West Bank and Gaza" and make it clear that a precondition for the state's viability is that it be racially pure — entirely cleansed of Jewish communities.

Do you mean racially pure or Jewish pure?

Before 1947 Jews and Arabs lived as neighbors - which is to say, it could happen again. How many Jews lived in the West Bank and Gaza in 1967?

So in the authors' view, Israel is to be a state of all of its citizens while "Palestine" is to be Judenrein.

Do you prefer total isolation of Palestinians and Israeli?

"...US embassy in Israel — effectively ceding Israeli sovereignty to the US."

Also the Palestinian sovereignty - with the intent of returning both to each.

"The US government policy has been based on the principle that there can be no acquisition of territory by war."

Of course this is the history of war - acquisition of territory. This would limit all wars of aggression and confine them to only defending their sovereignty.

Israel can legitimately claim are the UN partition borders from 1947 since much of the land that makes up the 1949 armistice lines was acquired in war.

But is was not an acquisition war by Israel. The international community supported the creation of the state of Israel because of the holocaust of Jews - many countries were aware of the genocide and refused to admit it was happening (see Charlie Chaplin's documentary).

"...Israel "represented" by radical free agents with Israeli citizenship.

Free being the operative word.

"Why is the US government sending its officials to participate in a "working group" which works to undermine the sovereignty of a US ally;..."

Because the US had its hands in carving out the state of Israel and it has been a bloody proposition ever since?

"...and why is the Israeli government not taking legal action against private citizens who travel the world "negotiating" away the sovereign rights of the state while undermining the prerogatives of the Israeli government?"

Because the Israeli government has a history of failed "negotiating"?

Where is your olive branch Caroline B. Glick???

This is to say, are you now saying Israel can not trust the US?

This inquirer, who is pro everyone, would be most gladdened, by any response that is peace seeker.
