Netanyahu has never been for peace, peace talks or peace initiatives. Let’s not forget historical facts - Netanyahu is the major reason Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.
The 1993 peace movement & Oslo Accords didn’t sit well with the ever violent, angry, irrational Benjamin Netanyahu who was leader of the political party Likud.
During protests AGAINST peace in the region, Netanyahu addressed protesters who carried posters portraying Rabin in a Nazi SS uniform or being target by in the crosshairs of a sniper. (Sound familiar).
BACKGROUND OF OSLO:
Prime Minister Rabin signed the Oslo Accords in 1993 which provided for the creation of a Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The Palestinian Authority would have responsibility for the administration of the territory under its control. The Accords also called for the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Fast forward to 2010
... Netanyahu scams the UN, Palestine, United States and the world by conning them with the false notion that he wants to start "peace talks." The Vice President of the United States, in good faith, goes to Israel to help with those talks and the moment he lands in Israel - Netanyahu announces he wants to build more Jewish Settlements in the vary area that caused international turmoil BEFORE the Oslo Accords were signed.
It was a con game by Netanyahu. He is of the same crazy, nutty, insane belief that Cheney holds - Peace through having someone else beat the shit out of you. - Not real "peace" and it isn’t supposed to be real peace.
In reality, the Netanyahu’s & Cheney’s of the world idea of "peace" is: I’ll have someone else beat the shit out of you till you give me what I want and then you can shut the f@&k up.
Netanyahu, like Cheney is a warmonger - just a plain old, nasty warmonger who does not want peace of any kind.
Netanyahu is thinking the same way the rightwinged, warmongering organization, Project for the New American Century (PNAC) thought in 1998. Meaning, Netanyahu thinks Israel can cut it on their own in this upside-down world even if all of their allies condemn their aggressive actions. (Sounds like Cheney & the rightwingers)
Ya know, in 1998 President Clinton got a letter from Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The letter writers TOLD Clinton that we should invade Iraq, overthrow Saddam even if the UN & our allies say "No."
The signers of the 1998 PNAC letter to President Clinton, begging him to invade & takeover Iraq due to fake wmds are all warmongers we’ve seen in the Bush Administration in one form or another:
Elliott Abrams, Richard L. Armitage, William J. Bennett, Jeffrey Bergner, John Bolton, Paula Dobriansky, Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, Zalmay Khalilzad, William Kristol, Richard Perle, Peter W. Rodman, Donald Rumsfeld, William Schneider, Jr., Vin Weber, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Robert B. Zoellick
To quote from the letter,
"In your upcoming State of the Union Address, you have an opportunity to chart a clear and determined course for meeting this threat. We urge you to seize that opportunity, and to enunciate a new strategy that would secure the interests of the U.S. and our friends and allies around the world. That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor."
The letter continues:
"The only acceptable strategy is one that eliminates the possibility that Iraq will be able to use or threaten to use weapons of mass destruction ... it means removing Saddam Hussein and his regime from power. That now needs to become the aim of American foreign policy."
The letter continues:
"We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your Administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing Saddam's regime from power. This will require a full complement of diplomatic, political and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. We believe the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf. In any case, American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council.
"We urge you to act decisively. If you act now to end the threat of weapons of mass destruction against the U.S. or its allies, you will be acting in the most fundamental national security interests of the country. If we accept a course of weakness and drift, we put our interests and our future at risk."
-- end of letter
Ok, so the wmd con game was setup in 1998 to overthrow Iraq even IF the UN & our allies said "NO" - and as we’ve all suspected Bush/Cheney lied and staged false intel to con the world.
Before any teabaggers start commenting - and if they can read beyond 3rd grade level, google: August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) CIA Daily Intel to Bush. The PDB was titled: "Bin Laden DETERMINED to Strike America." Read last 2 paragraphs of PDB:
"FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
The FBI is conducting approximately 70 full-field investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group or bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives."
.... Unfortunately for the USA - "W" was on his month long vacation in August 2001 and could not be bothered with the PDB - CIA Tenant testified in 2004 that Bush NEVER spoke to him the entire month of August or September about that PDB ...
Back to Netanyahu following the Cheney warmongering playbook: -
Netanyahu is doing the same thing - trying to start another war with Palestine even IF the USA & UN say "no."
How the "PARTY OF HELL NO" helped Netanyahu’s decisions.
IF: Any country’s leader is seen as having the opposition party obstructing every thing the leader does ...
And IF: Any countries Elected Political Leader are holding rallies & telling an irrational mob of people carrying guns and signs to "take back their country" from the President and his party ...
THEN: The rest of the world sees that leader as someone who might be overthrown by the opposition party.
We see that all the time. A small country’s leader is tossed out by an angry mob lead by zealots ...
As a result of the way the elected leaders from the "Party of Hell No" have conducted themselves AT the rallies, on television etc, they have put our National Security at risk.
That’s right, since January 21, 2009 the GOP have put our National Security at risk. Through their continued obstructionism and by GOP elected leaders accusing our President of: not being legitimate and not being legal - along with GOP elected leaders comparing him to Hitler, telling protesters to "storm the Capital" and "arm themselves to take over the country."
Netanyhu didn’t know if our President would be overthrown like one’s we see on tv so he thought he’d play his own warmongering game and weaken the office of the President even more - why not - he‘s a warmonger.
Therefore, when Vice President Biden went to Israel, Netanyahu dissed Vice President Biden and, like any warmonger, announced his plans in Jerusalem for the sole purpose of hoping to start a new war with Palestine.
Then, Netanyhu came to the USA - paranoid man that he is - refused to meet with President Obama in his hotel for fear of wiretapping and would only meet with him in the Israeli offices .. Who cares - paranoid man but whatever ...
Naturally, if Netanyhu was afraid of wiretapping he certainly wouldn’t want the press in .. DUH to the GOP & Fox on that one - but hey, their viewers have no minds of their own. I’m sure the rightwingers will tell us all how rude President Obama was to our dear friend Israel - leaving out the facts that Netanyhu was afraid of being taped, leaving out the fact that Netanyhu asked President Obama to leave so he could talk to his people - hey when have those teabagging-rightwingers ever worked with facts? Why start now?
Sure Israel is, in deed, a friend to the US and there is no reason they should not be. BUT .... Equally the US is Israel’s friend and given their absolute location in the world, and the fact the we, happily subsidize them - how dare Netanyhu try to con the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, UN, our allies, Palestine with his phony, bullshit, he never intended peace talks - Netanyhu was playing a Cheney style warmongering con game.
For me, as a taxpayer who helps subsidize the Israeli Universal Health (Socialized health) and their military - & wanting Israeli's to live in peace with their neighbors ... I thought I’d give an additional 20 cents here.
