Peace out

"Mr. Netanyahu,

The wall must fall! That's actually what Obama has said now I've had a moment to reflect on it. It's positive news for once. But will Obama say it at the wall? Yeah - nah. A Zionist assassination would be more likely if he tried to do that on the Israeli side.
BBC: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected comments from US President Obama that a future Palestinian state must be based on the 1967 borders.
In a major speech to the State Department, Mr Obama said "mutually agreed swaps" would help create "a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel".
But Mr Netanyahu said those borders, which existed before the 1967 Middle East war, were "indefensible".
Mr Netanyahu is preparing to meet Mr Obama for talks at the White House.
An estimated 300,000 Israelis live in settlements built in the West Bank, which lies outside those borders. The settlements are illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.
Bibi is livid:

Complaining about 1967? 1937 would be better wouldn't it? Both sides adhere officially to the same map funnily enough, but on an all or nothing at all basis. But this statement is better than the tacit approval of the militant settlements inside the West Bank and around Jerusalem that previous administrations have had. The thuggish Lieberman character is Foreign Minister and he lives in the West Bank, so this could destabalise Netanyahu's coalition if they acquiesce, and the Jewish Israel lobby in the US will be going ballistic. If any element can make Obama back-track on this it will be them.
One way of seeing this statement of policy is it will return the 12% of the West Bank on the Israeli side of the separation wall. However 1967 is also another way of saying that the American government accepts that the forcible occupation and confiscation by the Jewish State - the Zionist colonial entity - of the Arab lands from the time of the unilateral declaration of independence in 1948 to 1967 is to stand.


Just like the Afrikaaner's Apartheid race state, the viability of the Jewish Zionist race state depends on the unity of external recognition and on division and partition internally. If either of those components are broken (and in South Africa's case both: the withdrawal of diplomatic recognition and sanctions combined with the difficulty of maintaining the internal separations and rules of Apartheid made their viability doubtful by the mid 1980s) then the colonial project is at a sunset
Fatah and Hamas angling the Palestinian Authority toward an early official statehood and UN recognition (and all the issues it will bring Israel should they attack as they do so casually at present) is a product of the pan-Arab popular revolt and is an irresistible external pressure.
A quasi-partition (inter-entity boundaries) in a nominally unitary (but highly decentralised and ethnically regionalised and cantonised) state was the heart of the Dayton accords that ended the Bosnian War and it is a peace that has held. Not a perfect peace, compromises based on arbitrary percentages and boundaries had to be made to get it, but it included a right of return and freedom of travel, and it has held. Why can't the same principle of a multi-ethnic state also hold for Palestine-Israel?

This wall must fall!
You stated that there was a unilateral declaration of independence like it was a bad thing.
How many nation states in the world were created as a result of a unilateral declaration of independence? I'd say there would be a fair few.
Regardless of that the fact is that Israel was granted recognition from major powers and the UN shortly afterwards.
@ Rangi - indeed it must! What is it that prevents the world from remembering the passed and pointing out to das judah that they've been behaving in the very same manner against the Palestinians that an entire world war was fought for to preserve their right to exist.
A shameful history - whether it be the manner in whcih they supplied an apartheid regime the weapons to oppress a few decades ago, through till now!.
I have a sluce-shun though. Let's get the sofusticayshun of Jonkey and Murr as forrn polsee eggsperts ta nigo-shate.
