A gentile friend once asked me if I could explain the conflict between the Israelis and the arabs. I told him, "The situation is really quite simple. The arabs want all of the Jews dead, and the Jews don't agree."
Why am I posting this? Well, secretary of state Rice is in Israel making an idiot out of herself. She has met with capitulators Olmert and Livni, and the terrorist Abbas. She plans on meeting the "palestinian negotiator" Ahmad Qurei. What exactly is there to negotiate? The arabs have been offered 90-95% of the land they say they believe is theirs, and their counter offer was suicide bombers and quassam rockets. They want all of the land and all of the Jews murdered. They won't accept less. Can anyone tell me how Israel is supposed to negotiate with that?
Rice is either very optimistic, very stupid, or has an entirely different agenda. My guess is the later. She also has the nerve to complain about settlement activity. "I think that is no secret and I've said it my Israeli counterparts that I don't think the settlement activity is helpful to the process, that in fact what we need now are steps that enhance confidence between the parties and that anything that undermines confidence between the parties ought to be avoided," Rice said. (As quoted in:

Rice wants both parties to act in good faith? The Jews should not settle in Judea and Samaria but rockets out of Gaza are fine? She does not have a word of condemnation in her for the arabs, just the Jews. She said nothing of the release of 200 arab prisoners, which Israel considers a sign of good faith, (though I have another word for it). And here's the kicker: THE CRIMINAL TRAITORS IN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT ARE AGREEING WITH HER!!!
"At the end of the day the Israeli government's policy is not to expand settlements, not to build new settlements and not to confiscate Palestinian land," Livni said. (ibid.)
The swine Abbas said that Israeli settlements are the main obstacle to peace. (ibid.) Well, I expect nothing less from him. But Rice is an American, she is supposed to be on the side of good. And Olmert and Livni are the representatives for the Israeli people. Their cowardice is unfathomable to me.
The solution to the Israeli-arab conflict is simple. It can go one of three ways. 1. The current situation can continue where Jews are killed by arab rockets, bulldozers, machine gun toting maniacs, and suicide bombers. 2. The Jews can give up that land and return to the diaspora, thus desecrating the name of G-d and suffering Auschwitzes again and again and again...or...3. The Jews can annex the territories and transfer the arabs out. It is really that simple.
As for all of the Rices out there, I don't care about what they want.
