when the jewish leaders met with obama, one of their request was to not make the disagreements between them public. that has not happened. and, as you say, israel is losing the narrative that only if they had partners on the other side, peace would happen.

next week, gates, jones, and mitchell head to israel for a meet up. it's been reported in haaretz that the us government will not impose economic sanctions. i wonder what arrows obama will use from his quiver.

goldman has software that puts in high- speed and high-volume trades on various stock and commodities markets just a few seconds prior to the economic news is announced. after other traders get in, they get out.

this computer software was stolen and they are worried.

“Someone stealing that code is basically stealing the way that Goldman Sachs makes money in the equity marketplace,” said Larry Tabb, founder of TABB Group, a financial-market research and advisory firm. “The more sophisticated market makers -- and Goldman is one of them -- spend significant amounts of money developing software that’s extremely fast and can analyze different execution strategies so they can be the first one to make a decision.”

the best that can be expected fron netanyahu is the status quo with a different colored smoke and a different angled mirror. his plan is economic zones for the occupied territories and an outsourcing to the PA to do israel's policing. netanyahu and lieberman ain't budging. they will move their mouths and hands to give the illusion that something is happening but their feet are staying put. obama will need to pull the rug from under their feet.

yes, the settlers get to keep their property and the palestinans get a country and israel can have borders recognized by the international community.

only one question: can the settlers give up on their bible induced delusions of a greater israel?

dogs use urine to mark territory while the settlers use the bible. same mentality except the settlers have higher brain functions to rationalize their behavior. dogs are more honest.

Then there is the case of the yeshiva student who ran over a young female parking attendant for demanding he pay his parking fee. She suffered brain damage but he was spared prison on the grounds that he is a brilliant Torah scholar whose scholarly undertakings would be damaged if he were jailed.

this guy is an asshole, defined as a person who can't tell the difference between his anus from a hole in the ground. he's a pretend religious student 'cause he ain't got no spirit. that others are recommending that he be spared punishment, shows how much out touch with reality they are too.

As far as settlements are concerned, isn't it the height of hypocrisy for Americans to lecture Israel about settlements and outposts when America was built on settlements and outpost (called forts) on American Indian and Mexican lands? White Europeans, expanded expropriated and ethnically cleansed the north American continent (both American Indians and Mexicans) by means of settlements.

colonialism is dead in the 21st century. don't you get that? you've just made the case that isreal is stuck in 18th century thinking.

also, knowingly on unknowingly you are following the hasabara script.

hasbara trolls: you should be getting your new talking script soon. see Israel to use Hitler shot for PR

Israeli embassies are being instructed to use for public relations purposes an infamous photograph of Adolf Hitler meeting a top Palestinian cleric.

according to the recent isreali elections there seems to be not too many decent people in israel. they are a small minority. netanyahu reflects the dominant attitude. israel has jumped the shark.

i think it is in The Republic. the quote i gave is a popular rewording of a Plato quote which is:

"But the chief penalty is to be governed by someone worse if a man will not himself hold office and rule."

you can find this quote by following the link provided. it is an online google book about Plato. Reflections on Commercial Life.

Plato said that "“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” That is what will happen if Obama allows Netanyahu to set the agenda.

let's just hope that obama does not have any skeletons in his closet. these skeletons will first be privately hinted at to obama and if the continues turning up the heat on israel, they will come out dancing on the main stage.

Israeli Fantasies: a greater Israel with all of Jerusalem as its capital. More Jews, More Land, and Less Arabs.

Palestinian Fantasies: returning to the way it was before 1948. More Land, More Arabs, and Less Jews.

Obama needs to be the one to tell both parties to grow up, Santa Claus does not exist.

being rigidly attached to one's identity also shows in how one reacts to the identities of other people. people who express anti-gay or anti-jewish or anti-arab reactions have a rigid attachment to their own identity and feel very threatened. as such it is only realistic to recognize this and take precautions from deluded people who can do you harm.
