Why is Obama Throwing Such a Fit? A visit to Israel by U.S. special peace envoy George Mitchell is on hold till Israel responds to a series of American demands, Army radio reported Tuesday.
Mitchell had been due to leave for Israel early on Monday but will delay his trip to demonstrate Obama growing anger at Israel's refusal to stop building Jewish homes in east Jerusalem. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to cancel plans for 1,600 new housing units in Ramat Shlomo, an orthodox Jewish suburb beyond the Green Line in the northeast of the city. His refusal stems from the fact that the housing is legal, and even if Jerusalem is eventually divided, the units will be on Israel's side of the border. Netanyahu insisted Monday that Israel would continue to build in Jerusalem in his address to the Knesset. "For the past 40 years, no Israeli government ever limited construction in the neighborhoods of Jerusalem," he said, proceeding to name each and every Prime Minister, from left and from right, who built in all of Jerusalem.
Mitchell may cancel his planned visit to Israel altogether and instead flying straight to Moscow for talks with the 'Quartet' of Middle East peace mediators - the European Union, the United Nations, the United States and Russia. There they will surely place Israel over their collective knee, pull down her pants and give her a firm spanking. "We want to make sure that we have the commitment from both sides that when he travels we can make progress," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.
Israeli diplomatic officials wanted Mitchell to come but could not convince him to do so. "Mitchell is hesitant as he is not convinced that the timing of the visit, at a moment of high tension between Israel and the U.S., is genuinely conducive to advancing negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority," a senior Israeli official told Haaretz.
According to a report in The Washington Post on Tuesday, U.S. officials say that Mitchell's visit will remain on hold until the White House receives an Israeli response to key demands. Israel must reverse the approval for construction in Ramat Shlomo, make a "substantial gesture" towards the Palestinians and publicly declare that all of the "core issues" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the status of Jerusalem, be included in upcoming talks.
The three conditions, set by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a 43-minute telephone call to Netanyahu on Friday, have not been publicized by the U.S. - but Israel is expected to provide a formal answer on Tuesday, the Post reported. "We have to have guarantees that these kinds of things will not happen again," a senior U.S. official was quoted as saying, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "If he is unwilling to make that kind of commitment, it raises the questions of how committed he is to negotiations - and it raises the question of how committed he is to the relationship between Israel and the United States." No Israeli spokesperson was there to interject: "Oh, give me a break."
The United States, which over the past year has pushed unsuccessfully for a total construction freeze across the West Bank, including in east Jerusalem, has until now accepted and praised the Israeli stance as unprecedented, a Hillary Clinton called Netanyahu's concessions last autumn. Following Israel's latest declaration of plans to build in Ramat Shlomo, the U.S. demanded that Netanyahu commit publicly to a building freeze in Jerusalem. "He has to take a firm stand to prevent similar kinds of announcements that will have a negative effect on negotiations," the official said.
In the meantime, the desired effect of improving Obama's standing among Muslims is failing. Whether he was expecting a pat on the back, or something better, all Obama has received from the World of Islam is mockery and laughter....oh....and a new uprising against Israel.
I can only conclude one of two things: Either Barrack Hussein Obama is completely ignorant in his narcissism, or he is purposely directing the Middle East toward war! (Couple this with Obama's push to undermine the Constitution, and you have an attempted take over of the world.) Either way, catastrophe is upon us. In the end, however, we know who is in charge and what is Biblically on the horizon.
