- | + | The God and His Prophet - Jailer<br><br>I knew Obama's Middle East speech last Thursday was obviously a bombshell when my 19 yr old daughter called me in a very panic, "Mom, did you hear Obama's speech on Israel?" Having spent all day in Atlanta with Israeli family that was in town for hospital treatment, I had to confess that I hadn't. Even though I knew about this, I had planned to trap the gist at my hotel room that night. "Mom," she said, nearly in tears, "Obama wants Israel revisit the pre-1967 borders." I must confess just a little pride at that moment that my 19 yr old understood the full ramifications of that statement better than most American Jewish adults, not to say typically apathetic university students. I informed her I would call her back after I a chance to glance at the speech and digest it.<br><br>Though I couldn't obtain the video without delay, I read enough to make sure that her worst fears; an American President did indeed demand that Israel to revisit the 1948 armistice lines. In reading the administration's protests that Obama merely confirmed publicly what had been discussed privately, it occurred to me if the US administration's role is really a neutral facilitator in the negotiation, then Obama's failure in the Middle East can be explained with the paradigm of mediation.<br><br>And once you've made that little drive, I think you'll feel special you made it. OK, it hasn't got all of the facilities of a Tel Aviv beach, nevertheless the sea is fantastic (when is the Med never great?), there's hawaiian isle to explore only a quick wade away, you will find fishing boats bobbing inside the sheltered bays, and finding a quiet area for you and your beach towel is reasonably easy, even during peak season.<br><br>Instead, Palestinians delayed negotiations due to possibility of Israeli construction in "settlement" areas. However, when Israeli leadership twice agreed to no construction in those areas, Palestinian leadership still refused to negotiate. When one realizes that the "settlement" areas constitute below 2% with the West Bank, one can see that "settlements" aren't the real sticking examine Israeli-Palestinian talks.<br><br>In reality, whenever a mugging comes about, the witness to the scene has a responsibility. Perhaps you do nothing -- somebody else is getting mugged that is certainly not your business. Many cities have 'good Samaritan laws' which speak for the morality to do nothing while an offence is being committed. You are in the wrong place at a bad time, the same manner the person getting mugged is in a bad place at the incorrect time. However, you saw the crime and also you now have a duty that you can't avoid. When countries commit crimes, the choices are no different than each time a crime has committed by an individual. While the options are the identical, the consequences of accomplishing nothing are a great deal more severe. The ultimate example is Nazi Germany and WWII. Suppose in 1939, the world community, understanding what Hitler was approximately, had acted preemptively. Let us point out that the moment the world saw Hitler's designs on Poland, it attacked Germany. Let us also believe that the act of attacking Hitler's Germany triggered a war in which one million people died. Yet Hitler's designs on world domination were stopped. It prevented the Holocaust from happening and yes it prevented a war where over 65 million people died.<br><br>Feel free to surf to my web blog ...
