It’s true. Israel tried this scam last year by claiming they had a secret agreement to expand settlements and Condoleeza Rice denied it. Read about it here in this article entitled “Israelis Claim Secret Agreement with US.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/…..03128.html

The Israelis are running the same scam this year using Elliott Abrams to vouch for them. Read about it here in this article entitled “Israelis Say Bush Agreed to West Bank Growth.” http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06…..038;st=cse

It appears more and more that they have moved together to the point where they’re practically inextricable.

Exactly why there should be ONE state - “one man one vote” - sorry if the state based on one single preferred religion thingy didn’t work out for ya.

The Bush Administration denied that there was any such understanding back in April of 2008 the last time Israel tried this argument. No one confirms this understanding except Israel and Elliott Abrams, convicted perjurer. It is not the Bush Administration being duplicitous and deceiptful in this case, believe it or not.

Those two worked pretty well together in the ’90s. I can imagine that being a very interesting conversation.

I’d love to see a map of the region, showing Israel’s border, green line and dots for settlements color-coded for population. Then we could see how far they have moved toward Jordan.

I also wonder if any of those settlers would survive living inside a new Palestine in order to fulfill their dream of living on that particular land.

I’m not seeing much unoccupied land for a DMZ. It appears more and more that they have moved together to the point where they’re practically inextricable. Of course, Palestinians deserve a state (even if it’s not to the dimensions they had previously hoped). And the Israelis have a state they should tend to instead of always hoping to change its borders. Do the Israelis have ANY concept of borders?

One of my favorite lines from a movie is, “Jesus, what is it with you Catholics?” I don’t think it translates so well to Hebrew. Heh.

O/T At Raw Story there is an article about Bush telling a Houston reporter in 1999 that if he were elected president, he would invade Iraq. Of course the MSM refused to touch the testimony. So the above is not at all surprising. I always suspected that was the reality. just as I have always suspected that Cheney’s secret energy policy meetings were all about invading Iraq for the oil.

Blessings to all

So, let’s get this right: Bush engaged in secret negotiations with Israel that basically stuck a thumb in the eye of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and left Israel swinging in the wind

Let’s be real clear here. Israel got the Bush Administration to go along with a lie, and now in some small way the Israelis are being called on it.

Remember too all the crapola about Israel wanting a partner in the peace process but they couldn’t trust the Palestinians? Well, by their own admission they lied about the settlements and being liars makes Israel exactly what kind of partner in the peace process? The hypocrisy is so thick you can’t see through it.
