One Jerusalem
On the footsteps of President Obama’s speech at the United Nations, the Quartet led by Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated President Obama’s call for Israel to stop all building activities in East Jerusalem and the territories. In a joint communique, the Quartet went on to encourage the Palestinians to build institutions of state during the next 24 months. This is an endorsement of the Fayaad plan to declare a Palestinian State in 2 years whether or not Israel and the Palestinians come to a formal agreement.
In the words of the Quartet, “Recalling that transformative change on the ground is integral to peace, the Quartet welcomes the Palestinian Authority’s plan for constructing the institutions of the Palestinian state within 24 months as a demonstration of the PA’s serious commitment to an independent state that provides opportunity, justice, and security for the Palestinian people and is a responsible neighbor to all states in the region.”
In endorsing the Fayaad plan, the Quartet has broken new ground as it follows Obama’s aggressive lead. Israel is being iced out of the negotiating process. If Israel does not capitulate to dividing Jerusalem and to retreating to indefensible borders look for Obama and the Quartet to recognize the Palestinian State, and Israel will become an international pariah state.
In dealing with the settlements, the Quartet considers all the West Bank as occupied territory and prohibits even “natural growth” – a growing family adding a bedroom to an existing house or even a porch to a backyard. The sentence dealing with Jerusalem reads,
“The Quartet urges the government of Israel to freeze all settlement activity, including natural growth; and to refrain from provocative actions in East Jerusalem and calls on the Palestinian Authority to continue to make every effort to improve law and order, to fight violent extremism, and to end incitement” While Israel is instructed to give up tangible matter the Palestinians are simply urged to make a good effort.
The communique does not refer to Israel as a Jewish state.
Wild Thing’s comment……
Obama doesn’t have one sincere bone anywhere in his body.
Jerusalem belongs to Israel and Obama better lay off!
Down the rabbit hole one more time.
I just thank god that Bibi won! Imagine if Olmert was still in.
Where are the people to defend against this madness?? This will not only be disastrous for Israel but could very well start an ugly avalanche throughout the world. Take out Israel and the MidEast rises up big time along with some of their supporters. Gonna make Afghanistan look like a teddy bear picnic.
Looks more and more like Obama wants the One World Government under Islam, examples of which are Somalia, Palestine and Iran, the UN has gone muzzy in it’s agenda(UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency ))for Palestine.
The Obama administration condemns big Business. What is bigger than the business of Saudi expansion, the UAE’s posh palaces and resort communities, that we have bought and paid for with ever increasing oil prices? Yet the ragheads are unemployed and are still resort to stealing, taking by force, under the guise of ‘religion’. This is what Obama represents to the world.
obama is a muslim. Many muslims consider him an apostate, so he has managed to piss off even the ones he wants to help. However, he will continue to support muslims over the West.
Yankeemom, I agree so much.
Jack, seeing all that listed in your
comment is chilling and true too.
Tom, your right, that is what amazed me.
He is an apostate and there would normally
be real outrage about that.
So not only are the muslims silent about the
attacks on 9-11 and other attacks but they
are all pretty silent on about Obama.
