Why the Peace Process Is Not Working

June 18, 2009 | From theTrumpet.com

Netanyahu’s speech—and the Arab leaders’ reactions—gets to the heart of the issue. By Richard Palmer

Why is there no peace in Israel? Over the past few weeks, two key leaders gave their views on the matter. To U.S. President Barack Obama, it is the fault of Israeli settlers. To Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it is the fault of the Arabs for refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Who is right?

“The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements,” said Mr. Obama to much applause in Cairo. “This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop.”

But would peace be any easier without the settlements?

Mr. Netanyahu said no in his speech at the Bar-Ilan University on Sunday:

Those who think that the continued enmity toward Israel is a product of our presence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, is confusing cause and consequence. The attacks against us began in the 1920s, escalated into a comprehensive attack in 1948 with the declaration of Israel’s independence, continued with the fedayeen attacks in the 1950s, and climaxed in 1967, on the eve of the Six Day War, in an attempt to tighten a noose around the neck of the State of Israel. All this occurred during the 50 years before a single Israeli soldier ever set foot in Judea and Samaria.

If settlements were really the root cause of the lack of peace, then surely peace would have been achieved before the settlements even existed.

Mr. Netanyahu pointed instead to a factor that has been in existence from the foundation of the modern nation of Israel until today. The Arab nations simply do not want peace with Israel.

“[W]e must be firmly connected to reality, to the truth,” said Netanyahu. “And the simple truth is that the root of the conflict was, and remains, the refusal to recognize the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own, in their historic homeland.”

If one side refuses to recognize the right of the other to exist, then no amount of haggling over settlements will help. The so-called occupation is not the issue. Israeli prime ministers have actually offered the Palestinians their own state, including half of Jerusalem. The Palestinians merely responded with violence.

In his speech, Mr. Netanyahu outlined several conditions for a peaceful two-state solution. The Palestinians must recognize the right of Israel to exist, and solve the refugee problem outside of Israel’s borders. The Palestinian state must be demilitarized. Jerusalem must remain the unified capital of Israel.

The Arab world’s reaction to Netanyahu’s offer proves what the fundamental problem is with the peace process. “Netanyahu’s demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish state is ruining the chance for peace,” said Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. “Not Egypt, nor any other Arab country would support Netanyahu’s approach,” he said.

Spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Nabil Abu Rdainah, said that Netanyahu’s speech “torpedoes all peace initiatives in the region.”

Yasser Abed Rabbo, another Abbas aide, said that to recognize Israel’s Jewish character was “to become part of the global Zionist movement.”

One of Abbas’s senior negotiators, Saeb Erekat, said that Netanyahu “will have to wait 1,000 years before he finds one Palestinian who will go along with him with this feeble state.”

Erekat threatened that if Barack Obama did not force Netanyahu to stick with the U.S. road map for peace, then Obama would “close off the path of peace tonight and set the whole region on the path of violence, chaos, extremism and bloodletting.”

Statements like these make it clear why the peace process is not working.

Change in Israeli Policy?

Previously, Israel’s peace process was based on the land-for-peace formula. But Netanyahu’s speech could mark an important break with that position. Geopolitical analyst George Friedman said June 16:

[Netanyahu] did shift his policy dramatically. For, let’s say, the past 40 years Israeli policy has been land-for-peace; that in exchange for a peace agreement, the Israelis would withdraw. Netanyahu changed that position. He said, We have tried withdrawing from territories. We tried withdrawing from Gaza. The response was rockets. We’ve tried all sorts of maneuvers, all sorts of discussions. Every time we get close, it fails. The issue is not, in his mind, land-for-peace. The issue is the recognition of the right of Israel to exist.

As far back as 1996, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote about a prophecy in Hosea 5:13 that states, “When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.” Mr. Flurry explained that the Hebrew word for “wound” indicates that it is referring to the peace process (for more information, see our free booklet Jerusalem in Prophecy). When Israel sees that the peace process is sapping its strength, it goes to Germany for help.

Israel could be starting to see its wound right now. “Many good people have told us that withdrawal from territories is the key to peace with the Palestinians,” said Netanyahu. “Well, we withdrew. But the fact is that every withdrawal was met with massive waves of terror, by suicide bombers and thousands of missiles.” The fruits show that land-for-peace hasn’t worked.

Israel’s relations with America are suffering. In contrast, after Netanyahu’s speech, German Chancellor Angela Merkel invited the Israeli prime minister to Germany. Watch for this relationship to blossom in the future.

U.S. military teaches 'protesters' are 'low-level terrorists'

Become 'dangerous citizen' by 'repeating the very phrases Founding Fathers used'

Just weeks after a scandal erupted over a Department of Homeland Security report that described as "right-wing extremists" those who oppose abortion and support secure national borders

, another report is revealing that the Department of Defense is teaching that protesters are "low-level terrorists."

The newest action to define those who disagree with positions adopted by the government or administration of the United States

was revealed by blogger Dennis Loo at Salon.com.

He cited a complaint filed by the northern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union demanding that the Department of Defense change its instructions and those who have been given the training be told of the modifications by "sending out corrective materials."

Shocker! Most Americans know
of Obama eligibility questions
Despite near media blackout on coverage, 49.3% 'troubled,' think he should release birth certificate

President Obama

Editor's note: This is the second of a series of monthly "Freedom Index" polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

WASHINGTON – It may be the issue few in the media dare address, but a new scientific public opinion survey of a cross-section of Americans shows they are not only aware of questions about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office, but almost half are either "troubled" by the questions or believe he should release all relevant documents including his long-form birth certificate.

Asked if they are aware of the questions raised about Obama's constitutional eligibility for office, 51.3 percent answered affirmatively, while only 18.7 percent said no. Another 30 percent said they were unsure.

"Our polling shows that the questions surrounding Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president clearly strike a nerve across America, probably because it is a problem that everybody understands," said pollster Fritz Wenzel. "Every American citizen has a birth certificate, and once in a while we all have to produce them to get a drivers license or gain entrance to school. Everyone understands the simple rules – if you don't produce it, you don't get in. And while Obama did get in to the White House, nearly half the country's adults – 49 percent – are troubled by this issue and still want him to produce his official long-form birth certificate."

Fed up with Obama's silence? Support Joseph Farah's campaign to raise awareness of the eligibility issue through a national billboard campaign.

Support rising for eligibility verification demand
Now 4 congressmen cosponsoring Posey's documentation plan

Support in the U.S. House for a proposal that would require presidential candidates to provide documentation of how they meet the U.S. Constitution's requirement that the person who occupies the Oval Office be a "natural born citizen" suddenly has quadrupled.

There now are four cosponsors to H.R. 1503 from freshman Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., an amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971.

According to the Library of Congress bill-tracking website, H.R. 1503 would "require the principal campaign committee of a candidate for election to the office of president to include with the committee's statement of organization a copy of the candidate's birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution."

'Obama administration sent message to Hamas'
Official with terror group says Carter 'right person' to serve as middle man

Jimmy Carter
JERUSALEM – Former President Jimmy Carter passed a message to Hamas from the Obama administration, according to senior sources in the Islamist group.

The sources did not disclose the content of the purported message or whether the communication was written or oral. They spoke on condition of anonymity, because they said Hamas had not yet reached a decision on officially releasing the information they were divulging.

Separately, in an interview with WND today, Ahmed Yousef, Hamas' chief political adviser in Gaza, refused to confirm or deny that any message was passed to his group from the White House.

Youssef said, however, Carter is the "right person" to serve as a middle man between Hamas and the Obama administration.

"If we have anything to communicate, Carter will be the right person to convey messages from the movement (Hamas) to this (Obama) administration or from the administration to the movement," said Yousef, speaking from Gaza.

Yousef told WND he spent three hours with Carter today, holding private meetings and also showing the former president areas of Gaza that were damaged during Israel's 22-day campaign against Hamas that ended in January.

DR. JAMES D. MANNING - PUBLIC "V"


Dear Friend of MILITEC-1:

I have an important favor to ask you, as a user of MILITEC-1. We’ve avoided making this request, but it has now become necessary. I need you to communicate with your senators and representatives in Congress, telling of your experience with MILITEC-1 weapons lubricant. Congress needs to hear from real-world MILITEC-1 users, to understand its value in combat. This communication to Congress should come from service members, their families, and friends.

You may be aware that Militec, Inc., has been struggling for years to have its product made available again to service members through the regular supply system. Certain Army officials insist that its MilSpec CLP – cleaner, lubricant, and preservative – is perfectly suited to lube your weapons in combat. And they insist that, since MILITEC-1 does not meet MilSpec laboratory conditions, it is not suited for use by you in the real world of combat. Those officials have repeatedly canceled and blocked the National Stock Numbers (NSN’s) for MILITEC-1, and have prevented it from being made available to you through supply channels.

Since 9/11, I have provided over 600,000 free bottles MILITEC-1 to every service member who requested it. I believe that MILITEC-1 provides a live-saving advantage in combat, and I have been determined that all of you will have that advantage, even if I have to give it to you.

Now, I have reached the point where it’s very difficult to provide product to our service members, without the supply system’s purchasing it and shipping it through regular supply channels. I have tried in vain to define the benefits of MILITEC-1 in the field, but Army officials maintain that it must conform to MilSpec as tested in Army laboratories.

Thousands – literally – of your emails to me testify to MILITEC-1's superior performance in field conditions, especially in dry, dusty or desert environments. If service members, including family and friends will share their experiences with MILITEC-1 with their two senators and their representative in the House of Representatives, congressional interest can break the logjam I face in certain Army offices.

I need your help. Please use your own words to describe your experiences with MILITEC-1. Army officials dismiss our field reports as “anecdotal, unsubstantiated evidence.” I believe that the combined experience of thousands of service members is more than anecdotal. Your help now is very important.

Address your letters to: Honorable XXX
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator XXX:

Honorable YYY
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Representative YYY:

Don’t worry about other info. It’s not needed. To learn who your senators are for email and mail contact, go to the following website and click your state: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm. For your representative, go to this website and click your state and zip code: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml.

Your message should be short and clear about MILITEC-1. Ask your senators and representative to consider your position carefully, and to forward it to Representative Steny Hoyer, so he will appreciate the concerns of field users of MILITEC-1. Representative Hoyer is the Majority Leader of the House, and his congressional district in Maryland is home to my company, Militec, Inc.

I sincerely appreciate your support, and your effort, with other service members, families and friends, to help Congress understand the value of MILITEC-1 versus CLP.

Most respectfully, and gratefully,

Brad P. Giordani

President
Militec, Inc.
