bruise said:Rhys - what's AIPAC?
(and is it one of those acronyms that needs *s like B*np to avoid a plague of nutters?)
rhys gethin said:Bruise - It is a lobbyist organisation in the States, and I'm not sure what the whole of it stands for - the 'A' is 'American' and the 'I' is 'Israel' I'm sure. It is much more powerful and more effective than the National Rifle Association, which is why we are never told about it - though the 'Economist' broke the embargo a few months ago, which is how I found out. It puts up money to help sympathetic politicians, and if any of them dare to make any criticisms of the Occupation of Palestine, AIPAC immediately begins a whispering campaign against them as 'anti-semites', and can very quickly get them seen off , which is why I described it as new-McCarthyite. It is AIPAC that creates that otherwise-inexplicable 100% support for the Zionists in the 'States, and I believe it is currently trying to move in here.
AIPAC works with Congress to increase military assistance to Israel and to strengthen cooperative defense programs to counter these emerging threats.
Neither side wants the One State Solution
nino_savatte said:Nonsense.
Sir: Benny Morris has only reaffirmed my view that he is a hawk in dove's clothing. He continues to flog the myth surrounding the Camp David talks in 2000. All that was offered to the Palestinians was a caricature of a state. Overall control of land, sea, and airspace rested with Israel. Prior to this "generous" offer, the Palestinians had watched helplessly as Israeli settlements continued to increase at an astonishing rate despite pleas from its closest ally, the United States, to freeze their expansion.
Contrary to his theories, the Palestinian people do not wish for Israel's destruction. All they are asking for is a viable state in which they could finally exercise their right to self-determination. Unfortunately, the likes of Avigdor Lieberman (who pledges to turn Palestinian lands into a Chechnya) don't exactly instil a sense of confidence, and can be counted on to make an already grave situation even worse.

I think it's a bit late for that.moono said:If the Palestinian people remain united
moono said:Hamas will never accept two states. That's why the Americans, the EU and the Zionists are colluding to get rid of them.
If the Palestinian people remain united and patient they will get their viable state. That's why the Americans, the EU and the Zionists are colluding to divide them.
