ISRAEL EXCUSE FOR NO PEACE = UNITY OF FATEH AND HAMAS

by

ISRAEL EXCUSE FOR NO PEACE = UNITY OF FATEH AND HAMAS

Israeli GOV = Must Negotiate in good faith and willingly compromise to move forward.

Palestinians Pact = Prisoners in walled-in war camp conditions and must negotiate for a NEW FUTURE.

SOLUTION = An autonomous Palestinian State and Israeli GOV knows it = But drag their feet for the status quo domination. Why?

Israeli = Maintains the largest destabilizing force in the middle east

Israeli = Continues enjoying the fruits of US Middle Class Monies.

SOLUTION = Time for Israel & Palestinians to END this nightmare and move forward

Click for NYT Article

Israel suspended Middle East peace talks = Flimsy Excuse = Fateh-Hamas Pact

Israel = Stated it will not resume negotiations with Mew Palestinian Pact made up of political independents and apolitical technocratic figures who meet international conditions for acceptance.

Israel = Claims the Obama administration backed Israel’s position against negotiating with a unity Palestinian government.

Israel = Drags out the OLD arguments to STOP PEACE!

Jen Psaki, State Department spokeswoman, called United Palestine “disappointing”

Psaki = “any Palestinian government must unambiguously and explicitly commit to nonviolence, recognition of the state of Israel (+) acceptance of previous agreements and obligations between the parties.”

Psaki = “So if it’s a unified government, yes, they would need to abide by these principles”

Netanyahu = “Whoever chooses the terrorism of Hamas does not want peace.” = NO UNITY ALLOWED FOR PALESTINE.

Saeb Erekat, chief negotiator for Palestine said throughout the negotiations the Israelis constantly asked the Palestinians how they would deal with Gaza. = “You are right. We should have one authority” = “Then they say no, you have chosen Hamas and not peace.”

Naftali Bennett, leader of the right-wing Jewish Home party, “Now the government will include Hamas, and we will not speak to it.” = “a government backed by Hamas is like asking the United States to negotiate with a government backed by Al Qaeda”

ISRAEL = ABSURD!

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▶

Palestinian President Abbas in a breakthrough showed united compassion for victims of genocide = Called the Holocaust “the most heinous crime” of modern history = Restore U.S.-backed peace efforts. = Netanyahu brushed compassion aside.

Abbas expressed “sympathy with the families of the victims and many other innocent people who were killed.” = For idea of ethnic discrimination and racism. = “The Palestinian people, who suffer from injustice, oppression and (are) denied freedom and peace, are the first to demand to lift the injustice and racism that befell other peoples subjected to such crimes.”

Abbas said, “On the incredibly sad commemoration of Holocaust Day, we call on the Israeli government to seize the current opportunity to conclude a just and comprehensive peace in the region, based on the two states’ vision, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security.”

Palestinian Central Council = Israel must agree to a full freeze of settlement construction and commits to the 1967 territorial lines. = Opposes land swaps.

RIGHT-WINGERS IN ISRAEL want to ANNEX 60% of Palestinian LANDS into ISRAEL.

Tony Blinken, White House deputy national security adviser = Sided with Israel

 

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▶

US = Accept Palestinian Unity = Agreement between Fateh and Hamas

Israeli GOV = MAKE A THREAT = AIPAC US CONGRESS DO TOO

Far right = Never wanted “peace process” = Threatened Fateh/Hamas justification
to end peace negotiations. = JOYFUL FAR RIGHT!

Netanyahu Disingenuous Line = Ask PA President Abbas “does he want peace with Hamas or peace with Israel?” = implying that “peace with Israel” was in the offing

Palestinians are right to celebrate National unity = Necessary for a lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace. = Palestinian people desperately want this unity at home = No more demoralizing squabbling fractured leadership. = Provide a solution at home.

PA UNITY = HURTS Israeli hardliners and their impose cruel punishment and suffering imposed on Gaza Strip.

Terms of Fateh/Hamas pact = National unity government of technocrats to prepare for national elections.

Terms of Fateh/Hamas pact = Empowers President Abbas to negotiate a two-state solution that provides for peace between Israel and an independent Palestine

US rejection of Pact = Enormous error

US = Well-advised to support the Pact and insist Israel continue negotiations with a now-strengthened Abbas.

 

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = NO PEACE EVER

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Does not want a unified Palestine people

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Does not want Palestine to get international recognition by UN

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Always does what it wants due to support by AIPAC ownership of US CONGRESS

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Gets $3 Billion/Year in USA aid

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Want to continue encroaching on PA Lands

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = Ignore as irrelevant the consensus opinion across the planet against what they do.

Extreme right-wing faction of Israeli government = See nothing wrong with 7 million others living in refugee camps under a system of apartheid.

 
PA/Hamas Pact = US propaganda to cover rejection per AIPAC and Israeli masters

Israel + AIPAC = NO peace treaty with Palestine EVER

Israel + AIPAC = Determined to own an ethnically cleansed Jewish-only Palestine = token Gentiles.

Israel + AIPAC = 100s of thousands illegally armed violent “settlers” in occupied territories

Israel + AIPAC = Never stand for eviction of settlers = Israeli war

Israel + AIPAC = MUST FACE a choice between peace NOW or FORCED compliance with international law and collapse through economic sanctions.

Kerry Warns Israel = Refusal to Negotiate = ‘An Apartheid State’

1998 Rome Statute defines “crime of apartheid” 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.” = System of racial segregation and oppression

US Secretary of State = Israel refuses peace soon = ‘an apartheid state’

“People grow so frustrated with their lot in life that they begin to take other choices and go to dark places they’ve been before, which forces confrontation.” — Kerry

Kerry = Jewish leaders in America = Attract unwanted attention

Kerry = Remarks to Trilateral Commission warned that a failure of Middle East peace talks = Resumption of violence

Kerry = Suggested changes in Israeli and/or Palestinian leadership = achieve peace

Kerry = Condemned Israeli settlement-building

Kerry = May unveil his own peace deal and tell both sides to “take it or leave it.”

“A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second class citizens—or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state. Once you put that frame in your mind, that reality, which is the bottom line, you understand how imperative it is to get to the two state solution, which both leaders, even yesterday, said they remain deeply committed to.”

— Kerry to senior officials from US + EU + Russia + Japan

President Jimmy Carter (2007) book Palestine: Peace or Apartheid.

Carter STATED = Israeli POOR treatment of Palestinians = apartheid policies in West Bank = “Apartheid is a word that is an accurate description of what has been going on in the West Bank, and it’s based on the desire or avarice of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land.” — Carter

Israel’s leaders = Employed “Apartheid” (2010) Ehud Barak = “As long as in this territory west of the Jordan river there is only one political entity called Israel it is going to be either non-Jewish, or non-democratic. If this bloc of millions of ­Palestinians cannot vote, that will be an apartheid state.”
The secretary of state also implied, but did not say outright, that if the governments of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu or Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas left power, there could be a change in the prospects for peace. If “there is a change of government or a change of heart,” Kerry said, “something will happen.”

Kerry criticized Israeli settlement construction as being unhelpful to the peace process and he also criticized Palestinian leaders for making statements that declined to recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.

“There is a fundamental confrontation and it is over settlements. Fourteen thousand new settlement units announced since we began negotiations. It’s very difficult for any leader to deal under that cloud,” Kerry said.

“There’s a period here where there needs to be some regrouping. I don’t think it’s unhealthy for both of them to have to stare over the abyss and understand where the real tensions are and what the real critical decisions are that have to be made. Neither party is quite ready to make it at this point in time. That doesn’t mean they don’t have to make these decisions.”

— Kerry

Kerry = May publicly lay out a comprehensive US plan for a final “take it or leave it” agreement

LINK TO 30 SENATOR WARREN VIDEOS:  http://www.youtube.com/user/senelizabethwarren/videos?shelf_id=1&view=0&sort=dd

Senator Elizabeth Warren spoke on the Senate floor on October 3, 2013 about the consequences of the Republican shutdown and why government matters:

“There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory… Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea – God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”  

 — Elizabeth Warren
 

“Best financial innovation of last 20 Years was ATM machine and Collateralized sliced/diced credit — brought nothing to society’s table.” 

 — Paul Volcker 

HOW GOP CONGRESS HAS SCREWED MOST AMERICANS IN 2013: 

Sequestration cuts = LESS money in economy + LOWER GDP + LOST JOBS

Sequestration cuts = Cost around 750,000 jobs says CBO + 1¼% 4th Q Growth Loss

Sequestration cuts = $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts 

Sequestration cuts = ENDED payroll tax holiday = All workers got LESS PAY

Sequestration cuts = Shaved 0.4% and 0.6% off of WEAK GDP growth in 2013 

Sequestration cuts = damaged public defenders + cancer research + scientific research

Sequestration cuts = HURT Head Start + Meals on Wheels.

CONGRESS AUSTERITY = COST annual GDP growth of 0.7% since 2010

CONGRESS AUSTERITY = Raised unemployment rate by 0.8%

Canceling Sequestration = 0.7% increase third quarter GDP in 2014 = BUT GOP = NO

Canceling Sequestration = 9OO,OOO MORE JOBS SAYS CBO = BUT GOP = NO

GOP GOV SHUTDOWN = 800,000 workers furloughed without pay + NAT PARKS

GOP GOV SHUTDOWN = Shaved off 0.25% OF GDP in 4th Q = $10 Billion 

CONGRESS AUSTERITY = Nov. 1 $5 BILLION CUT to food stamps = 47 million Americans = jump in soup kitchens/food banks demands + $5 Billion cost to GDP 

CONGRESS AUSTERITY = Cuts continue into 2014 with 1.3 million Americans losing unemployment benefits = Cost of 240,000 jobs in 2014 = 0.2% to 0.4% loss to GDP

END OF THE HUMAN WORLD WE KNOW = FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES

by

10 warnings that Big Oil stocks crash 50% in 5 years by Paul B. Farrell April 2014

Big Oil stocks are going to trigger an economic collapse by 2020.

Pump prices shot up 11% in 2014 + US BIG OIL cherishes its new role as exporter.

“100% of economists think yields will rise within six months,” no recession in sight, and junk bonds scream investors want risk again.

US will “surpass Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world’s top oil producer by 2015”

END OF WORLD

WALL STREET CEOs = END OF THE HUMAN WORLD WE KNOW = FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES

10 Years ago the Bush Pentagon predicted that by 2020 “all-out wars over food, water, and energy supplies would emerge” as global “warfare is defining human life.”

Robert Mankoff’s New Yorker cartoon of happy-go-lucky CEO of a too-big-to-fail Wall Street bank is at the podium saying, “While the end-of-the-world scenario will be rife with unimaginable horrors, we believe that the pre-end period will be filled with unprecedented opportunities for profit.”

But today we’re having a Zen moment, enjoying a transcendent “pre-end period,” in a permanent age of “unprecedented profits.”

Click for Farrell Article

10 warnings from visionaries:

# 1 Big Oil’s conspiracy is a fracking ,cracking Zen moment …Exxon’s Rex Tillerson, $40 Million/year CEO became a party in a local lawsuit opposing a planned new water tower near his $5 million retirement ranch. = Subtle lesson as more states follow Ohio’s lead, discover there’s a real scientific link between fracking and earthquakes.

# 2 Big Oil profits peak, slide, collapse = We have no chance of preventing emissions rising over critical tipping points sparking uncontrollable climate change. Soon “the Earth’s climate will enter a chaotic era = Far fewer of us.”

# 3 Unprecedented profits on a road to irreversible self-destruction = World has “1.4 trillion barrels of oil, enough to last at least 200 years.” Too bad it’ll kill us in 50 years. The science is settled = The planet is on an “irreversible self-destruct path.”

# 4 Capitalism’s last, blind race to waste every bit of Planet Earth = “The Race for What’s Left: The Global Scramble for the World’s Last Resources.” = resource depletion = Shortages of coal + uranium + copper + lithium + water + arable land = frenzy of extreme exploration

# 5 We’re not even trying to solve the big problems of the future = “Why We Can’t Solve Big Problems.” Reason: Because our leaders kowtow to myopic science deniers and Big Oil billionaires with zero moral conscience. = Lost our ability to think long-term = Instant thinking = solve erectile-dysfunction.

# 6 Big Macs in 2014, but can’t feed 10 billion by 2050 = Denial is a great tranquilizer. “recurrent shortages of hydrocarbons, metals, water and, especially, fertilizer.”

# 7 “What really counts is not the number of people alone, but their impact on the environment.” Developed nations = 32 times more resources/person. = 7-10 Billion seeking developed living = NO RESOURCES LEFT

# 8 Humans = New dinosaurs = “Earth didn’t replace the dinosaurs after they died” 65 million years ago = Earth “just moved on, became something different.” = “sixth great extinction in Earth’s history.”

# 9 Paradox: Economic growth = Accelerating the death of capitalism = “The Global Economy Won’t Recover, Now or Ever.” Our “capitalist world economy has been in existence for some 500 years … functioned remarkably well. But like all systems, it has moved … too far from equilibrium.” = What kind of system will replace capitalism

# 10 Bigger crash than 1929 = In one short generation “we have built a financial system that threatens to topple our global economic order.” = “an unsustainable and crazy doomsday cycle infiltrate our economic system.” = “The destructive power of the down cycle will overwhelm the restorative ability of the government, just like it did in 1929-31.” = “13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown.”

Denial really is a wonder-drug tranquilizer. “While the end-of-the-world scenario will be rife with unimaginable horrors, we believe that the pre-end period will be filled with unprecedented opportunities for profit.”
