On Trump's Middle East Peace Plan

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“It is only reasonable that I also have to do a lot for the Palestinians, or it just wouldn’t be fair.”
- President Donald Trump on his recently released Middle East Peace Plan

Last week President Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing by his side, unveiled his long awaited Middle East Peace Plan. And while there are good intentioned aspects to this plan...a plan mainly brokered by Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner...there is one aspect that I personally will never agree with, that being Israel giving up even one inch of its precious land in order to attain peace. And while this plan is a hoped for pathway...a jumping off point if you will...to a Two-State Solution, the only saving grace in my eyes is that under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas the Palestinians will not go along with this plan thus exposing to the world the Palestinian leader's true want...as in of all of Israel...a Jew-less Israel...and nothing less. Was what would be a tenuous peace at best President Trump's media marketed “Deal of the Century's” true objective...possibly...or was this Trump's calling the Palestinian leader's bluff...something that seems more likely. I'll get into that in a bit.

Surrounded by 22 Arab nations...a few now Israel's friend, most still Israel's foe...giving up either God-given land or land garnered as the fairly gotten spoils of war is not now nor is it ever a wise idea. And while our president is trying to be fair in regards to a people who've been playing the victim card since being invented by Yasser Arafat in the 1960's to further his PLO cause...those very people have found an ally in Jordan's King Abdullah who under Trump's plan would become the Palestinians caretaker of sorts...which is akin to the wolf guarding the hen house. Why so...because it's King Abudllah himself who could have ended this conflict years ago by welcoming back into Jordan the very people who hold his country's citizenship and passports. Even his own father, the late King Hussein, admitted there were no Palestinians, there were only temporarily displaced Jordanians.

Was President Trump aware of this...I don't know. But Jared Kushner most likely was but decided to take a gamble with fingers crossed for luck I suppose...a bad judgment call if nothing else or is there a method to this madness. And madness it is for trading land for peace has been proven throughout history not to work out in the long run, and I do not believe it will work out now even with certain caveats being placed upon the land Israel would be turning over...land that will more than double the Palestinian territory and provide for a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem. In fact, President Trump stated that we would open an embassy there when a Palestinian State is officially declared.

A Palestinian State...how those words do not sit well...for I believe such a state has no right to exist for it would be a state born to placate a basically non-existent people. And besides, on November 29, 1947, the U.N. passed a resolution regarding British called Palestine stating that said land was to be partitioned between Arabs and Jews... the Arabs turned it down and thus Israel... the Jewish State of Israel...was born.

And know that for better or worse such a Palestinian State is this plan's hoped for ultimate goal...or is it...for creating a nation for a made-up people...a people born of hate for the Jewish people coupled with a misguided want for the Jewish homeland... is not what one would think is a good thing. And while under this plan, as it's currently written, Israel would remain in control of security for both the Jordan Valley and the newly designated Palestinian lands, at least for the foreseeable future, know the land that Israel would be giving up is now being propagandized as but a swap...a swap for Israel remaining in sovereign control of its own rightful and legally existing settlements already in the West Bank. But even that comes with caveats of sorts for at the same time Israel gives up their land they're also facing a four-year ban on new construction on the very land they have sovereign control over. So not kosher in my opinion.

Yet the fact remains that no matter how said swap is packaged and sold, what's being downplayed is Israel's basically surrendering East Jerusalem for as per the plan it would become the capital of a Palestinian State. And this specifically includes the part of East Jerusalem made up of Abu Dis, Kafr Akab and half of Shuafa, thus seeing Jerusalem... which Israel assumed complete administrative control of after the Six-Day War...being divided instead of both the East and West sections remaining both part of the whole and the Jewish State's capital alone. Remember, the plan's saying that Jerusalem remains Israel's undivided capital simply means West Jerusalem does.

This is "the last opportunity they will ever have," so said President Trump...I say this is the so-called Palestinians last opportunity to force and secure a division in a city that must never be divided.

Jerusalem as a divided city...no matter the deals good intentions...actually harkens back to Israel's founding when in 1948, biblical Jerusalem was divided in two. And while Israel, as per U.N. mandate, was given control of the western section of Jerusalem and held said control from 1949 to 1967, Jordan was given control of Jerusalem's eastern section...the very section that includes the sacred old walled city containing both sacred Jewish and Christian holy sites. But when Israel finally re-annexed East Jerusalem back into Jerusalem proper after their winning the Six Day War, Israel said Jerusalem would never be divided again. But this “Deal of the Century” does just that using the old U.N. boundaries to acquiesce to the U.N.'s demand for a Two-State Solution...to make East Jerusalem the capital of a non-existent people's state.

And besides East Jerusalem, Israel is giving away the non-Israeli settlement areas in the a fore mentioned West Bank as well as the Gaza Strip and areas to its south, with those would be Palestinian lands being connected by a series of tunnels and bridges. But I say tunnels and bridges that would afford easy access for terrorists and other unsavory sorts to enter Israel proper no matter how said access points were reinforced or guarded.

And even with President Trump stating that acceptance of the plan would lead to $50 billion in new commercial investment in now what would be Palestine and that if “executed well” it could create one million new Palestinian jobs, being overlooked is the fact that this plan also gives the Palestinians time to meet the criteria for autonomy...criteria including their formally recognizing Israel as the Jewish State as well as their denouncing terrorism... basically giving these people a four-year time frame to start acting like civilized men. But how can those who have for generations been indoctrinated from birth into a culture of Jew-hatred suddenly change their mindset in but four-years...simply they cannot thus leading me to believe that this plan was but a time buyer until either Mahmoud Abbas or King Abdullah is gone, at which time the so-called Palestinians could return to their rightful homeland...Jordan.

So, was this plan designed to fail in order to expose the truth about the so-called Palestinian people? I believe it was for why else would the plan have been preemptively rejected by Palestinian leaders...why else would Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat say the plan was but “copied and pasted” steps that Netanyahu wanted to see implemented, adding that, “It's about annexation, it's about apartheid.” Why else indeed. Again the answer lies within the very words of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who immediately dismissed President Trump's plan as a “conspiracy” calling it “dead on arrival,” and that it was “impossible for any Palestinian, Arab, Muslim or Christian child to accept” a Palestinian state without all...both East and West...of Jerusalem as its capital. Makes me wonder just when did Mahmoud Abbas became the Christians spokesman...ever so sarcastically said.

Now consider this point as well...a spokesman for United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said the U.N. position regarding Trump's Peace Plan was that it defied numerous Security Council and General Assembly resolutions. “The United Nations remains committed to supporting Palestinians and Israelis to resolve the conflict on the basis of United Nations resolutions, international law and bilateral agreements and realizing the vision of two states - Israel and Palestine - living side by side in peace and security within recognized borders, on the basis of the pre-1967 lines,” were his actual words said. Notice the last four words “the pre-1967 lines”...as in before the Six-Day War...again shows that the U.N. sides with the Palestinians and wants Israel returned to its former what would be easily compromised borders.

In fact, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, one Nickolay Mladenov, said that Israeli annexation of any part of the West Bank would end the possibility of resuming Israeli-Palestinian negotiations toward a peace deal, once again harkening back to Israel's pre-'67 borders.

Both President Trump and Jared Kushner had to know this would be the U.N.'s reaction beforehand as the U.N. has never vacillated from either position. And both had to know that the Palestinian reaction to their plan would as unusual be violence and disrespect.

And while Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, and the UAE... countries no longer Israel's foes...all issued statements welcoming Trump's plan as a starting point to peace, all their statements had certain telltale words which can best be summed up with the Saudi's words. “The Kingdom reiterates its support for all efforts aimed at reaching a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian cause” and “to move forward the peace process to reach an agreement that achieves legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.” Missing from here and the others statements is what about the rights of the Israeli people to live as they alone see fit...to do as they alone wish to do in their God-given ancestral homeland.

And even with Egypt saying it will go along with the plan if it's adopted, I bet they're not too happy with even more Palestinians living along their border...a border with the Sinai Peninsula where Egypt has enough problems with parts of it now being a terrorist stronghold...they sure don't need Hamas supporting Palestinians adding to their problems.

So what was the reaction in Israel herself to a plan that while it supposedly sees Israel getting “overriding security responsibility and control over entire territory from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea” as per U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Freidman, it still places Israel’s identity as both a Jewish and democratic state in jeopardy for it gives what are a made-up people not only Gaza and the majority of the West Bank, but East Jerusalem as its capital as well. Simply, Trump's plan was greeting with a politically mixed reaction at best what with the Palestinian leadership, as previously stated, wanting no part of a plan they claim was both drawn up unilaterally and negates their belief that the Palestinians have the “inalienable right to self-determination,” while Israeli's from both Netanyahu's Likud Party and Gantz's Blue and White Party are at least happy with the fact that the White House took the “unusual step” of getting a sign-off and plan approval from Benny Gantz before being publicly revealed, thus avoiding Trump's plan being seen as a political maneuver to aid his friend Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming March election.

But for me Joel Rosenberg, co-founder of the Alliance for the Peace of Jerusalem, might have revealed Trump's plan's true intentions with his words, “Seeing three Arab Gulf leaders at the ceremony, he (Trump) just might have succeeded in threading the needle.” I guess “threading the needle” is better than not threading it at all especially since set-in-stone benchmark conditions must be met by the Palestinians if said plan has even an inkling of a chance of succeeding. But if giving these made-up people East Jerusalem as its capital is its true objective then this particular plan remains a "no go" to me.

Sorry BiBi, sorry President Trump, if and only if this is the plan's true goal...and while I will always support and stand by you both...I cannot abide surrendering any part of Israel's ancestral land ...especially surrendering to those wish were all Jews dead. But if this plan indeed was designed to show the world that the Palestinians are not really serious nor interested in peace...than it was a gamble worth taking. After all, it's well known that leopards never change their spots...I doubt a non-existent people would do so as well

No Daylight Between Us

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"I inherited a mess at home and abroad."  

- President Donald Trump at last week’s press conference where he eviscerated the main stream media

And yes Trump did, but hidden amongst the so rightly deserved dressing down of those who do not report the news but who invent the news to fit their own liberal agenda, saw just two days prior in a joint press briefing* a re-forging of close ties...ties broken during Obama’s time in office. Once close ties between the U.S. and the Jewish State of Israel...America’s closest ally not only in the Middle East but in the world as well as the only democracy in the entirety of a region on the brink of full-blown war...have now been set right again as the knife is withdrawn from Israel’s back.

And as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...the world’s last great statesman...entered the press briefing as he now did the White House...as an equal partner together with President Donald Trump...not relegated to the back door as he was with Obama...you could just feel those eight years of tension and animosity slip away as Netanyahu’s smile...a smile he held throughout the press briefing...said more than any mere words he or Trump could ever say.

Two men...two world leaders...two friends...standing together forming an alliance that will reset the game that is the Middle East...the Middle East where a tiny sliver of a country is adrift in a sea of those wishing to wipe her off the map. But now that will not be so easy as America once again has Israel’s back and Israel has America’s as the mullahs in Iran continue to shout “Death to America...Death to Israel.”

And the resetting of the game includes resetting the Israeli/Palestinian conflict not in favor of a made-up people invented for political purposes alone, but in favor of those whose ancestral home must never be taken away from them for to do so would unleash the wrath of God...whether it be the one true living God of we Christian and Jews or a more flesh and blood tangible entity known as the IDF whose hands will now be untied to do what they should have done back in 1967 during what became known as the Yom Kippur War...as in to show who is the forever boss of land that is rightfully theirs.

Eretz Yisrael...the land given to the Jewish people by God the Father...Israel whose Biblical borders were laid out in both Genesis and Exodus...Biblical borders that ran "from the sea of reeds (Red Sea) to the Sea of the Philistines (Mediterranean Sea) and from the desert to the Euphrates River"... borders that thanks to Trump’s election as president actually might have Israel seeing God’s gift come to fruition as the ‘so-called’ Palestinians who hold no legal, political, or historical claim to said land now have America once again on Israel’s side.

And while President Trump has asked Netanyahu to “hold back” settlements for a time because they “may not be helpful" in resolving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, in no way did he call for a halt to these settlements. And that tells the true story for while Trump’s words were said with an ever so subtle wink and a nod, Trump is seriously considering...and doing so with “great care”...moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the eternal capital of Israel...Jerusalem.  Jerusalem...the city the so-called Palestinians want...the city the ‘so-called’ Palestinians will never get...as their misguided lust for that very city will in the end see them fall with a push and a shove courtesy of an alliance they never saw coming...an alliance that will finally see the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 being fulfilled.

So even as President Trump and BiBi Netanyahu waver somewhat on support for a two-state solution vs. a one-state solution, know that the only solution in the end must be and will be a one-state solution called the Jewish State of Israel...not the one-state solution some propose that would have the Israelis and 'so-called' Palestinians living side-by-side in a single, secular country with equal citizenship, for citizenship confers a right to the land and the ‘so-called’ Palestinians have no right to the land that God...and the United Nations...gave to the Jews...or should I say gave back to the Jews as Israel was always rightfully theirs.

And the very two-state solution that some are trying to shove down Israel’s...down Netanyahu’s...throat...a solution that calls for a “negotiated settlement” leading to a ‘so-called’ Palestinian state existing alongside Israel...is also but a pipe dream for it is not peace the ‘so-called’ Palestinians want...as in give them an inch and they will take a mile...for they are the biggest proponents next to Iran of pushing Israel into the sea.

And Netanyahu not only knows this but lives with its reality every day as witnessed by his words that the creation of a Palestinian state would do nothing but lead to "another failed state, another terrorist Islamist dictatorship that will not work for peace but work to destroy us." Adding that, "In any peace agreement Israel must retain the overriding security control over the entire area west of the Jordan River," does signal the end of a two-state solution that really has no right in being.

And while President Trump, good negotiator that he is, appears to be stepping back at bit from the fray know he is doing so to let BiBi call the shots for his country just as he is doing so for ours...knowing well that a two-state solution nor the one-state solution proposed will ever become reality. And why...because BiBi has made it clear that a two-state solution can only happen under two conditions with the first being that the new Palestinian state must recognize Israel's legitimacy and right to exist and second, that Israel must maintain both full security control and sovereignty of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip...things the ‘so-called’ Palestinians will never agree to for the very reason I stated above.

And without saying the actual words but with the words being a given, BiBi let it be known that above all else the holy city of Jerusalem...the now and forever capital of the Jewish State of Israel...will never be divided again.

"Rather than deal with labels, I'd like to deal with substance," Netanyahu said adding that the very "two-state label is a hindrance to progress." And how right he is for BiBi knows in his heart that the only true solution for peace, let alone the only way for any progress to be made, is when Jordan’s King Abdullah welcome’s back into Jordan the very people that are actually his.

Also touched upon in the very press briefing that highlighted the camaraderie and friendship between these two men was Obama’s very bad Iranian nuclear deal. "I will do more to prevent Iran from ever developing, I mean ever, a nuclear weapon," Trump said. Remember that during the campaign Trump threatened to "rip up" the deal he called "one of the worst deals I've ever seen"...and that promise is one he assured Netanyahu will indeed be kept, and the smile on BiBi’s face and the handshake exchanged forever forged our two countries united destinies.

And with that assurance made, Trump and BiBi also discussed counter-terrorism operations in the region, especially in regards to ISIS and the ever-escalating realm of islamic terrorism. And to that affect it must be known that Trump will now coordinate anti-terrorism strategy with Israel, with old rivalries being rethought and new alliances being forged in an effort to bring some semblance of stability to a region but a breath away from igniting a maelstrom that there is no turning back from.

And while other issues were touched upon, it cannot be ignored that this joint press briefing served yet another purpose as well...that being that while Donald Trump's administration is in a bit of turmoil right now due to the left’s politically forced and orchestrated resignation of General Michael Flynn as Trump’s National Security Advisor and with the turn down of the job by his wanted replacement Admiral Robert S. Harward, so is Netanyahu’s administration in turmoil as he too has naysayers working against everything he is trying to do. And while Trump is facing a standoff with agencies riddled by those left over from the previous America-hating administration coupled with a media intent on doing him harm, Netanyahu is facing similar issues in Israel from those...a mirror image of our liberals and progressives...who are trying to derail his larger vision for Israel along with ousting his hawkish Likud party from power.

But the bottom line in this joint press briefing was not just to show the world that America and Israel are now united together but that Trump’s ultimate goal is to end the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. And in Trump’s saying that, "Bibi and I have known each other a long time — a smart man, great negotiator. And I think we're going to make a deal. It might be a bigger and better deal than people in this room even understand. That's a possibility. So let’s see what we do," to which Netanyahu replied, “Let’s try it,” while letting it slip that a regional solution would better serve all parties involved and that such negotiations are going on behind the scenes...the icing on the cake is that the media has now been put on notice that they will be rightfully kept out of the loop.

And also in that trying comes the fact that in both Trump’s and Netanyahu’s refusal to outwardly endorse a two-state solution both men are silently agreeing that policy-making will be their goal instead of an unattainable solution that actually makes peace impossible to achieve.

How so...the two-state solution has always been based upon anti-Israel and anti-U.S. musings that trading land for peace would work. But when the media has the entirety of the conflict being seen through muslim eyes only...through the eyes of those crying 'victim' instead of being seen as the perpetrators of hate that they are...Israel alone is then forced to shoulder the blame for the presence of islamic terrorism and extremism both in Israel proper and worldwide. And the media generated hype being that a two-state solution is the only way to garner peace is to allow a terrorist-supporting PLO state to exist right on Israel’s now would be unable to secure or defend borders, simply means that Israel would be party to her own demise...something that will never happen.

So with Israel now able to stand strong as Trump has her back, peace will eventually come but it will come on Israel’s terms not on the terms of the ‘so-called’ Palestinians for their biggest supporter, Iran, has lost some of their power now that Trump is the steward of America’s ship. And in Trump’s words that Iran will never get a nuclear bomb, Iran best start worrying that the focus of the U.S. and Israel will be on not only destroying their nuclear plants but on removing the mullahs from power thus neutralizing terrorism in all its forms...a goal that would indeed serve the world well.

And all I have said can be witnessed by the smile on BiBi’s face when President Trump said, “There is no daylight between our two countries.” And to that I say "amen."

Op-ed: 

A Lame Duck with a Backstabbing Knife

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio bit.ly/2cpXuRd

“As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th.”

– President-elect Donald Trump upon hearing the U.N.’s vote concerning Israel

“Israel will not turn the other cheek.” 

– Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upon hearing the U.N.’s vote concerning Israel

We all know Barack HUSSEIN Obama...the muslim masquerading as a Christian...hates Israel, Jews, and most especially Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. And now in the waning days of his presidency, Obama’s parting gift to the Jewish State saw this most vile of men working behind the scenes with his cohort in hate, Secretary of State John ‘Swiftboat’ Kerry, to have the U.S. abstain from a highly controversial and very anti-Semitic U.N. Security Council vote to stop Israel from building settlements in their own country...in the occupied territories including in East Jerusalem... Jerusalem...the God-given capital of Israel and the Jewish people.

In a vote which the U.S. should have vetoed as said veto would have blocked the resolution from passing (a ‘nay’ vote by any of the five permanent council members as in China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, or the United States would have done so), Obama stabbed in the back not only America’s closest ally, but Congress and the wishes of the American people when he demanded that U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power vote against Israel in what was not only a slap in the face to the Jewish state but what was outright condemnation of it.

And Power’s response...Obama’s actually...when asked why the U.S. did not stop this abomination was that, “Further settlement activity is in no way necessary for the security of Israel,” never mind that this resolution now becomes part of international law, and thus can hurt all Israelis and institutions. 

And with the vote approving Resolution 2334* that states “Israel’s establishment of settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the vision of two States living side-by-side in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders,” any hope for a renewal of peace talks between Israeli and the so-called (but non-existent) Palestinians is now rightfully at a dead end. And maybe that is the only good thing that comes from this vote as why should Israel give up even one inch of their land to those out to kill not only them but us all. Let Jordan give up some of its land for a Palestinian state after all the so-called Palestinians are actually Jordanians and the U.N. and King Abdullah know that well but do not care as goal number one is that Israel must no longer exist.

“President Obama is personally responsible for this anti-Israel resolution. His diplomats secretly coordinated the vote, yet he doesn’t even have the courage of his own convictions to vote for it. This cowardly, disgraceful action cements President Obama’s richly deserved legacy as the most anti-Israel president in American history,” said Republican Senator Tom Cotton.

And how right Senator Cotton is for only a sniveling coward would orchestrate such a move, ignore our fellow allies outcry against it, and then get it passed by abstaining which is paramount to a ‘yea’ vote without actually going on the record as such. And even some leading Democrats were up in arms over this vote. Democratic Senator Charles Schumer (NY) urged the White House to veto the resolution not abstain from it. Saying, “Whatever one’s views are on settlements, anyone who cares about the future of Israel and peace in the region knows that the UN, with its one-sidedness, is exactly the wrong forum to bring about peace,” but Schumer’ words, of course, fell on totally deaf ears.

And uber liberal Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz stated before the vote that if “the Security Council resolution goes through, it completely ties the hands of an incoming president. You can’t undo a Security Council resolution. You can’t take away a veto. And this Security Council resolution is an invitation to the International Criminal Court to go after Israel.”

And Obama knew this yet this vote was exactly what he wanted for, like his fellow brethren, he believes that a true Middle East peace can only come to fruition when Israel no longer exists, when the caliphate has not only been restored but when islam alone rules and dominates the world with sharia being the law for all. 

“I can’t stand him (Netanyahu), he’s a liar,...You’re tired of him? What about me? I have to deal with him every day.” 

– Barrack HUSSEIN Obama’s words caught on open mic while conversing with French President Nicolas Sarkozy 

And how do we know this...Obama’s actions in regards to Israel are those of hate going back to even before he became president. Here are but a few examples of said actions...in June 2008, in an attempt to do nothing but secure the Jewish vote for his presidential bid, Obama when speaking before the American Israel Public Affairs Conference said that Jerusalem should always remain undivided, but the very next day flips his story saying that only Jerusalem should not be divided by “barbed wire,” and flips again when in May 2011, the U.S. Department of State, on his orders, ‘labels’ Jerusalem not part of Israel. And that is in addition to Obama’s demanding that Israel “make concessions” to the Palestinians as per the pre-1967 borders...borders Israel rightfully called “Auschwitz borders” as they are indefensible in areas of Israel that are but a mere eight or nine miles wide.

And in March 2009, just two months after taking the office of president, Barack Hussein Obama reversed George W. Bush’s policy of not joining the United Nations Human Rights Council and had his then shill, Hillary Clinton, in her guise as Secretary of State, saying that, “Human rights are an essential element of American global foreign policy,” thus setting the stage for his telling Netanyahu that “settlements have to be stopped in order for us to move forward.” And when in an effort to show ‘good faith’ on Israel’s part Netanyahu called for a settlement freeze and the Palestinians still refused to return to the table, Obama said, “they (Israel) still found it very hard to move with any bold gestures,” twisting the truth to of course make it Israel’s fault. 

Nice huh...and the path Obama will take regarding Israel has now been set...set in plain sight for anyone with eyes wide open to see.

And just one month later in June 2009, Obama gave his infamous Cairo speech where his true anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, islamic allegiances shone bright. Claiming that the Jewish State of Israel was only created because of Jewish “suffering” in the Holocaust, Obama alluded that the what he called “plight” of the Palestinians was similar to that of the six million Jews annihilated by the Nazi’s... that the Palestinians have been similarly victimized by both the Jews and by the Israeli government.

Saying that, “They endure the daily humiliations – large and small – that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own,” Obama again sides with his brethren over America’s greatest ally Israel.

But remember, these made-up people already have a country...a homeland...of their own and it is called Jordan.

Following up in July 2009, Obama threatens to put, in his words, “daylight” between the U.S. and Israel and tells Jewish leaders, “Look at the past eight years. During those eight years, there was no space between us and Israel, and what did we get from that?” I’ll tell you what both we and Israel got...Israel was basically forced to ‘relocate’ thousands of their fellow Jews from the Gaza Strip; the world saw the Palestinian election of the terrorist group Hamas, and the Palestinians and Hezbollah launched yet another war against Israel; all while Obama kept lecturing the world’s Jews about the need for Israeli “self-reflection.” And let’s not forget about Obama’s CNN interview where he said that the U.S. would “absolutely not” give Israel permission to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Now add in that in September 2009, Obama told the U.N. that “America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” thus laying the groundwork for last week’s abomination of a vote.

And dare we remember that in March 2010, the muslim Obama...and in all honesty that is what he is...in a deliberate and shameful act to try and humiliate Israel’s prime minister, had Benjamin Netanyahu leave the White House through a side door following an official visit in response to a previous week’s phone chastising by Hillary Clinton ...also no friend to Israel...who said that Netanyahu alone had “harmed the bilateral relationship” between the U.S. and Israel. 

Also, starting in 2010 and continuing through 2013, Obama sanctioned if not orchestrated ‘leaks’ regarding a possible Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities...leaks like U.S. defense sources publicly telling of secret deals between Israel and Saudi Arabia regarding Israel’s use of Saudi airspace to strike Iran; leaks like NBC News ‘somehow’ getting information from “senior Obama administration officials” that Israel had both financed and trained the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen-e-Khalq; leaks regarding a senior administration official saying that “The Israelis have bought an airfield, and the airfield is Azerbaijan;” leaks by four senior diplomats and military intelligence officers claiming that the “United States has recently been granted access to Iran’s northern border;” leaks all done to stop Israel from doing what needed to be done. 

Now add to that the leaks regarding Stuxnet...a failed, thanks to the leaks, attempt by Israel to take out Iranian nuclear facilities via a computer virus, and the classified leaks done directly by the Obama administration regarding revealing the positions of Israel’s Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile sites...and the truth about Obama’s hatred for Israel should now be clear to all.

Now let’s fast forward to June 2014, when Hamas kidnapped and then murdered three Jewish teenagers, including an American teen. And Obama’s response...instead of supporting Israel’s attempt to bring the killers to justice, this vile man immediately called for restraint on Israel’s part no matter that Hamas continued to fire rockets at Israeli civilians and Israel discovered tunnels Hamas hoped to use to kidnap and then murder Israeli children. And to make this worse, Obama and his administration continued throughout the summer to paint Israel as the perpetrators in the ongoing Gaza War, while at the same time he personally stopped and banned a weapons shipment to Israel after finding out that Israel had asked and received the OK from the Department of Defense for shipments of Hellfire missiles. 

And in January 2015, the man who says that no foreign country has a right to interfere with U.S. elections chose to directly interfere with Israel’s election. Sending both his ‘Obama 2012’ campaign team and its field director, Jeremy Bird, to Israel in a focused effort to help defeat Netanyahu, this move just happened to came just days after then Speaker of the House John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of Congress... an invitation he readily accepted. And Obama’s lame response...he quickly countered by saying he would not meet with Netanyahu because it was too close to the Israeli election. Translation: Obama got caught...he got shamed...and BiBi won anyway. 

So with it taking Obama two days to call Netanyahu to congratulate him on his win, when he finally did call with a cursory congratulation at best, he included in that conversation threats to remove American support for Israel in the international community. And this was done at the same time he was loosening sanctions and the weapons embargo on Iran as he was getting ready to shove though his Iranian ‘very bad’ nuclear deal.

And that brings us up to last week’s U.N. vote which further aides in digging the knife deeper into Israel’s back.

“This is a victory for the people and for the cause, and it opens doors wide for the demand of sanctions on settlements," said Palestinian leader Mustafa Barghouti

Remember, it was Egypt who circulated the original Palestinian-initiated resolution draft but who (rightly) pulled it back after Netanyahu spoke directly with both President-elect Donald Trump and with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who truly wants better relations with both Israel and with Washington. Knowing that strategic relations with Israel are to Egypt’s benefit more than its dubious, at best ties, with Palestinian leaders, El-Sisi in his renouncing this resolution clearly sent a message to Obama that he no longer gives a damn about him or about what he thinks. 

Now coming to a head with Egypt’s withdrawal, Obama’s minions leaked that they were going to let the resolution pass if presented leading Malaysia, Senegal, New Zealand, and Venezuela, to bring up the resolution for vote...which then led to the anti-Semitic, Israel-hating Security Council to pass the resolution with 14 votes, with the U.S. cowardly and traitorously abstaining.

And while we know that Obama was probably ass-up with his head on a prayer rug thanking allah for this victory, the equally vile anti-Semite John Kerry said, “Today, the United States acted with one primary objective in mind: to preserve the possibility of the two state solution...” something hopefully now and forever dead for Israel is the only country ever to be told to give up its land to those whose ultimate goal is their destruction.

And what was Israel’s response now that she has been told as per the resolution to "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem"...many in Israel’s camp...me included...believe that both Obama and Kerry are the ones behind this move against Israel and that they worked with the Palestinians to give Israel, the Jews, and most especially Obama’s chief nemesis Benjamin Netanyahu, what they believe to be the ultimate bitch-slap...making the Western Wall...the holiest of all Jewish sites...occupied Palestinian territory.

And what of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the man who called this vote a “diplomatic ambush.” Speaking this past Saturday night...the first night of Hanukkah...at an event to honor wounded IDF and security forces, veterans, and victims of terrorism, Netanyahu said, “The resolution that was adopted yesterday at the United Nations is distorted and shameful but we will overcome it. The resolution determines that the Jewish Quarter [in the Old City of Jerusalem] is ‘occupied territory’. This is delusional...The Obama administration carried out a shameful anti-Israel ploy at the UN. I would like to tell you that the resolution that was adopted, not only doesn’t bring peace closer, it drives it further away. It hurts justice; it hurts the truth...Last night’s resolution is a call to arms for all of our many friends in the US and elsewhere around the world, friends who are sick of the UN’s hostility toward Israel, and they intend to bring about a fundamental change in the UN. Therefore, this evening I tell you in the language of our sources, the sweet will yet come forth from the bitter and those who come to curse will yet bless...”

So now we wait to see what comes next...and know that Israel will rightfully not take this lying down...in fact just for starters ambassadors are being recalled from the four countries who sponsored this resolution...Benjamin Netanyahu...the world's last great statesman... has said all the right words and taken the right actions. I just hope BiBi knows that the American people stand strong with both him and with Israel no matter that our islamic-condoning traitor of a president does not...and like Donald Trump said, “things will be different after January 20th”... which for all our sake cannot come soon enough.

Divert and deflect honed to a fine art  

By: Diane Sori 

 

"The crime of apartheid is defined as inhumane acts committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.”
- 1998 Rome Statute (the treaty that established the International Criminal Court (ICC)

Yesterday, 80-year old Donald Sterling...tried in the court of public opinion...was banned for life from any and all NBA league activities, fined $2.5 million for racist statements made, and will be forced to sell 'The Clippers' all because of comments he made in a PRIVATE taped phone conversation with his then bought and paid for 30-year old mistress. This punishment came after threats by ubber race-baiter Al Sharpton to protest at the NBA headquarters. And while Sterling's statements were disgusting and indeed racist saying them is NO crime as he is protected by the First Amendment for NO violence against the government or against anyone was made in his comments...brief to the point synopsis NOTHING more needs to be said.

Divert and deflect...so while the media stays focused on and is promoting this story ad-nauseum, real stories about real serious international infractions basically go unreported, and that is what Obama hoped for as the stories going unreported give yet another black-eye to his administration.
 

"If there’s no two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict soon, Israel risks becoming 'an apartheid state,'” hateful words said by Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry as he addressed world leaders in a closed-door meeting last Friday at the Trilateral Commission.  

 

John Kerry...just his name becomes synonymous with the word 'traitor' NOT just for his LIES about his service in Viet Nam and for his to this day close-friendship with 'Hanoi' Jane Fonda, but now for his out-and-out bigoted and hateful words deliberately and maliciously said about our ally Israel on the eve of Yom Hashoah... Holocaust Memorial Day...the day set aside every year to remember and honor the six million Jews...six million men, women, and children...MURDERED by Adolf Hitler and his cronies just for being Jews.

And what's even sadder than the words themselves is that Kerry ignores the fact that there is NO semblance of apartheid in Israel whatsoever as all with Israeli citizenship...and the Palestinians refuse Israeli citizenship...whether Jews, muslims or Christians, have the same equal rights and standing under Israeli law. Can't say that in any Arab country...in any muslim country. In fact, the PLO has announced that in any future Palestinian state, Jews will NOT be permitted to be residents... now that is apartheid Mr. Kerry...that is apartheid.
 

And these words about apartheid were NOT the only anti-Israel comments that Kerry made while speaking before the commission. This in-your-face hater of Israel actually threatened that failure of the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks could lead to a restart of Palestinian violence against Israeli citizens. This truly vile man looks away to the fact that violence against Israeli citizens has NEVER stopped courtesy of all the rockets lobbed into Israel from his ever-loving Palestinian cohorts in Gaza.  

 

Kerry also alluded to the fact that if one or both of the governments of either Benjamin Netanyahu or that of Mahmoud Abbas left power, there could be a change for the positive in the prospects for peace. If “there is a change of government or a change of heart,” Kerry said, “something will happen.” The man who works for and is loyal to the most corrupt and traitorous government in U.S. history had the audacity to criticize the governments of others, especially the government of our closest ally and friend, Israel.

And with Jewish leaders rightly seething over Kerry's words, TexasSenator Ted Cruz did the right thing by calling for Kerry's resignation. Saying, “Mr. President, it is my belief that Secretary Kerry has thus proven himself unsuitable for his position and that before any further harm is done to our alliance with Israel, he should offer President Obama his resignation,” adding, “And the president should accept it.” Cruz said what needed to be said...but something we know Kerry's fellow Israel-hater Barack HUSSEIN Obama will NEVER do.

And now 'Mr. Swiftboat', in an attempt to cover his butt, has said he chose the wrong words in describing Israel's possible future. Wrong words my eye...Kerry knew damn well what he was saying as his previous comments concerning Israel speak volumes about his true feelings for the now and forever Jewish state. Releasing a statement through the State Department, Kerry turned his ire on Republicans by saying these attacks against him were NOTHING but "partisan political" attacks. "I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes..." he said in his statement but NO one is buying this nonsense for Kerry is NOT committed to Israel but to the muslim brethren of his boss Barack HUSSEIN Obama...for a traitor doesn't change his spots that easily...for the first words out of someone's mouth are more times than NOT the words they meant to say.

In his continued attempts to remove his foot from his mouth, Kerry claimed his words were only an "expression" and "misinterpretation" of his deep belief that a two-state solution is the only viable way to end the on-going conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. But let's be honest here...there is NO "misinterpretation" of words for these words are NOT unlike his past public pronouncements regarding his military record, which he claims to this day to have also been"misinterpreted." A liar like his boss is more like it...a man whose words are always carefully chosen for he, like Obama, is a master of subterfuge and lies...a master at blame everybody else for his actions when caught.

And always remember that there was NEVER any real possibility for Kerry or anyone else for that matter brokering a true peace deal simply because trading land for peace just does NOT work. And the truth is that the Palestinians NEVER really wanted peace as they are of the same islamic mindset that wants Israel pushed into the sea...of the same mindset that says we want it all...and John 'Swiftboat' Kerry was Obama's appointed man to give them just that.

So while Kerry was bloviating his LIES all these many months about wanting a two-state solution that we all knew from the start would NEVER be had what with Kerry on many occasions baiting and publicly chastising Israel...publicly chastising Netanyahu...about the building of settlements on their rightfully owned land...a final deal with Iran had time to be reached allowing them to continue enriching uranium.

And all this was going on while the media had us focused on both the wild goose chase search for a missing plane and the fall of a wizened 80-year old racist. It will now be interesting to see what the media cooks up for us to focus on next, especially with yesterday's bombshell that as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit more than 100 pages of documents were released to Judicial Watch, and that among these documents was a September 14, 2012, e-mail from Ben Rhodes (an assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications) showing that one of the Obama administration’s primary communications goals after the September 11th attack on Benghazi was “to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy."

But that story my friends is for another day.

Settlements instead of peace...or so say the Palestinians
By: Diane Sori

"We are continuing to work with the Americans." 
Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks stalled

With the 'so-called' Palestinians refusing to budge on the all-important issue of formally recognizing Israel as a Jewish state along with forgoing the 'right of return' (they have NO right to return to anything)...and with the Palestinians claiming that Israel continues to reject their peace efforts by refusing to comply with the rules of international law for resolving said conflict (translation: for refusing to accept peace based on the now indefensible pre-'67 borders)...the diplomatic solution to the Israeli/Palestinian issue is for all intents and purposes coming to a grounding halt.

And recently, Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni voiced concerns about having Israel going forward with these talks if the Palestinians do NOT commit themselves to continuing the negotiations past the April 29th deadline.

Also, a few weeks ago Israeli Radio reported that US officials are working to revive the negotiations by perhaps putting on the table the release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard in exchange for Israel abiding by their previous agreement to free the rest of the convicted terrorists and murderers...something that has been demanded by PA President Mahmoud Abbas if peace talks are to continue.

But now the Palestinians are angry that Israel has delayed this release and most likely will outright cancel the release of those remaining prisoners, but who cares that they're angry for Israel does NOT do well with threats and a threat is what Fatah official Hazem Abu Shanab issued when he said, "Israel will regret its decision not to go through with the release of the fourth batch." 
 
Yet even with this newest threat and after PA crybabies went running to the international media whining that Israel had refused to release the final batch of terrorists and murders, Benjamin Netanyahu...who is facing condemnation from hard-line members in his coalition over the release and facing a possible collapse of his government because of it...told his Likud Party ministers that Israel will NOT free the last of the prisoners unless it gets something in return and that freeing the prisoners, if it is to go through at all, will take several days to finalize. He also added that any further agreements will be subject to a government vote. "Either it will be finalized or it will implode; in any event, no deal will be made in the absence of a clear exchange benefiting both parties,” said Netanyahu.

Besides, with there being very little progress in the peace process to date, and with recent statements made by PA chief negotiator Saeb Erekat that Mahmoud Abbas was staying in the talks only to secure the prisoner releases, Israeli officials are rightfully reconsidering the deal. I say screw the Palestinians...let the whole damn anything but a peace process implode as the Palestinians are owed NOTHING...therefore they deserve NOTHING.

Remember, last July in what was supposed to be a goodwill gesture on Israel's part and a precondition to the peace talks, Israel agreed to release a total of 104 prisoners in four batches...batches of terrorists and murderers tried and convicted for killing Israelis, including children. In return, the Palestinians promised (a muslim's promise is worth NOTHING...can you say taqiyya) NOT to abandon the peace talks and to stop their efforts to push for recognized statehood with the UN...or the U(seless) N(ations) as I call them. 

Israel has already released 78 of these bast*rds, but several of those released have taken part in the ongoing terrorist attacks against Israel and yet the Palestinians could care less and have demanded even more. Demands that include Israel agreeing to freeze all settlement construction...a demand Netanyahu has completely rejected. And standing up to the Palestinians, Israel has rightfully made demands of their own...demands that include the prisoner release be contingent upon a commitment from the Palestinians to extend peace negotiations beyond April, but the Palestinians want the prisoners freed first and only then will they agree to extend talks.

Under NO conditions should Israel agree to this even though Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, rejected Israel's demand outright saying that the peace talks and the prisoner release are two distinct issues, and then threatened Israel that they either release the prisoners or the Palestinians will pursue both statehood and sanctions against them for its occupation of land the Palestinians claim for a state.

So when all the tit-for-tat is stripped away what the Palestinians have done is drawn their own red line in the sand, and Barack HUSSEIN Obama has helped them draw it. And lest we forget that our miserable excuse of a Secretary of State, John 'Swiftboat' Kerry, has been pushing both sides...but more so Israel...to accept the U.S. 'framework' of principles for a final status agreement ..."or else."

And just yesterday Kerry suggested that to move the peace talks forward Israel should now be known as the “national homeland for Jews.” What an insult to Israel and Jews everywhere as this way Jews are corralled into a 'detention camp' style homeland instead of being citizens of the Jewish State of Israel.
 
And as to Kerry's "or else"...it's obvious that neither he nor Obama have learned that Benjamin Netanyahu does NOT do well with threats...does NOT do well with blackmail...and especially does NOT do well with either one of these two men who side with Israel's enemies. And to add insult to injury, being that he just wrapped up his failed talks with his Russian counterpart to end the Ukrainian crisis, yesterday Kerry went directly to Israel in order to save...translation: to screw up...the failing Israel/Palestinian anything but peace talks.

So it continues on as Barack HUSSEIN Obama gets his knife ready to once again stab Israel in the back.
