in the Middle East is the X-ten-times the "peace process" broken, and the American-dominated media, public is once again excited. Arguments and political niceties are exchanged and rhetorically as "serious" tossed to and fro as if it were a question of peaceful co-existence of the Israeli and Palestinian people as equals. So it was not in 1993, when the "peace process" has been celebrated for the first time on the international stage. Already at that time was the subjugation of the colonized people announced. Yasser Arafat, the "terrorist" and "freedom fighters", was of Yitzhak Rabin and U.S. President Bill Clinton on the international scene established itself as a socially acceptable actor so that he secure the safety of the settlers in the occupied territories and the residents in Israel proper with should help. This role he had played well for several years until he realized that the "peace process" no state "Palestine" was the goal, but a Bantustan. For the "President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas and his cronies, the story was supposed to be a lesson. But it seems that the Palestinians out of history with Zionism learned nothing.
for his "service" received Arafat the insignia of a "president" of Palestine: some pieces of land in his home country for self-government, a "government" with "ministers" and countless "Directors" - all have royally with fleet, mobile phones and lush salaries that the West has as a wedding gift for the continued occupation provided, -. a flag, a presidential limousine with flag holder, a pipe band, which was allowed to intone on "state visits", "al-Biladi" (My Country), a stamp with his Likeness of any airport in the Gaza Strip, from which he could but stand only for his circumnavigation with the permission of the Israeli occupation authorities, "passports" that is not to leave the occupied territories authorized, and the passing on any requests to the "Palestinian Authority" to approval by the Israelis. Ironically, began the most aggressive phase of the colonization of Palestine until the outbreak of the "peace process". That has not changed anything, the opposite: It's all a lot worse, so simply disastrous and deeply human indignities for the occupation and become colonized. in
before the midterm elections the U.S. seems to Barack Hussein Obama the world a new round of this farce. Whether one is listening to the slap of the voter in early November of Obama something about it may be doubted. The Nobel committee has given him but already awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after a few weeks in office. Why should he even try? Which performance was the first non-white U.S. president awarded to ask not only the Obama supporters? A president who continue to operate next to two colonial wars of his predecessor, and this extends even to dungeons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo show trials of questionable conduct, "court" can be, with the highest moral distinction honored, which is to forgive! The Nobel Committee has topped even George Orwell. It seems that Obama kick the bull by the horns to his first and perhaps last term of office and to rescue his reputation, what can be saved. The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, along with Joe Biden, the U.S. Vice-President, pointed into the crowd refueling. The Abbas-Palestinians would be wise not to put on Obama. This endless conflict has seen come and go for many U.S. presidents and, and the "Israel Lobby" (Mearsheimer / Walt) is still the same. The Western States
world has a big advantage over all authoritarian dictatorial and totalitarian regimes: their liberal-democratic societies, including their values. Especially the latter but are looking in the "peace process" trampled on because they marginalize those who have the only democratic legitimacy in Palestine: Hamas, as it may sound preposterous. In 2006, the movement or party of more than 60 percent of the Palestinian people in free, democratic, equal and secret elections, as their parliamentary representatives. For the first time voted in the Arab world, a corrupt political elite in free elections from power. Instead of welcoming this, the West took over uncritically the political position of the Israeli government and condemned the new government, although the Western criticism of the old Abbas government was more than justified. Sun criticized the West, the Palestinian leadership, "President" Abbas because of its widespread corruption, poor governance and their their anti-democratic attitude. Despite these legitimate criticisms of the Abbas government, ignored the west to the free will of the Palestinian people, and it was not chosen as it had been presented to the West. perhaps the wrong people were called to the polls? What the West can do more than by his own attitude to "Western values" so absurd to lead? Even in the "nuclear" Iran armed with the double standards of the West come into play. Iran has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to all rules of the Atomic Energy Commission in Vienna, subject, subordinate to the West won over because of racial prejudice, Muslims, "Iran's leaders do not play with open cards. Israel is the fourth-strongest military power in the world and is unconditionally from the only "hyper power", the U.S. supported. Israel has more than 200 nuclear warheads, Iran has zero! So what is all this talk of the threat to Israel?
President Obama's "glory" has faded in every respect. In rhetorical brilliance teleprompter, he turned to the Muslim world and presented to the Israeli prime minister publicly. Both times he leaped like a lion and ended as a rug. His authority in the U.S. is completely there, not only because of the hate campaigns of right-wing neocons, the middle-class tea party or movement of Armageddon-centered Christian fundamentalists. Even his colleagues in the West do in his "glory" not sunbathe. This is especially true for the Middle East, are the exceptions, "President" Abbas and the President of the United States entirely dependent on Jordan and Egypt, the dependence of the Saudi Arabian Autocracy is another matter. These "counterparts" are recommended at the meeting of the Arab League in early October Abbas, the "peace talks" do not cancel, but postpone for opportunistic reasons, although there is no basis for everything. Netanyahu something other than political and tactical games Related to expect on settlement freeze, would be as if he would be classified as a "statesman." Also 1947/48 Palestinian politicians made pilgrimages to the "Arab Higher Committee to Cairo and other Arab capitals in order to get advice from a desolate Arab leadership, not to the Palestinian cause, but only interested in was how they counteract the influence of other Arab rivals could. One as a "liberation movement" to the Palestinian people started PLO, is - thanks to the West and its Arab allies - has degenerated into a caricature of itself. Maybe even have forgotten the Palestinians Abbas, why the PLO was founded in fact. The western dilemma is exacerbated by the illegitimacy of Abbas and his "government" of Prime Minister Fayyad Salman. Both lack any democratic legitimacy. But the West did not always better with despots just because they imagined as a guarantor of political stability in his favor have been considered?
The West had once again brought international following facts: The Six-Day War of 1967 occupied territories - West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights - are illegally occupied. A transfer of the population of the occupier contravenes Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as the construction of settler colonies. All actions of the occupier, not the welfare of the occupied population is considered as null and void, such as the tapping of groundwater, the theft of Palestinian land, destruction of homes in the occupied territories, the torture of its inhabitants, the total closure of the areas, the arbitrary Restriction, the construction of an eight-foot wall or a "security fence" in occupied territory as far as possible, as has the International Court of 2004 in The Hague stated in a report. Through these international illegal wall remaining 90 percent of Palestine by Israel are incorporated. All of these actions violated international law by the Israeli occupying forces seem the West with his "Western values" are interested enough. Incidentally, the Geneva Conventions is binding on all states. According to Article 1, require all parties, "comply with the Agreement under all circumstances and to ensure respect." Where, in the Israeli case, the "Western values" is to that every internationally wrongful action or any violation of human rights that are in line? If this were the case, remains on the credibility of "the West" left little.
the prevailing political circumstances, these peace-making political farce for some time on the international stage will be performed. Should sign the Abbas-Palestinian "peace treaty" with Israel, this is due to lack of legitimacy of the signatories to the lack of Palestinian unity and not a day to endure. Who Abbas speaks at all, except for himself and his cronies? Whether the West but the maintenance of such survive in the long term agreement is without prejudice, must be questioned because of past experiences. His neo-colonial wars in Iraq and Afghanistan do not speak just for rational political action. Whether the solution is out of this dilemma of credibility to attract other theaters of war in Iran, Somalia or Yemen, it seems more like a sleight of same. The West is not as once fought Don Quixote tilting at windmills, but against a Hydra. The more "Taliban" or "terrorists" killed, the more rise against the U.S. and Israeli occupiers. To get at this Hydra, the large US-led NATO troops to war on Pakistan like past in the Vietnam war against Cambodia. This makes political deja vu is a certain irony. Did the U.S. geo-strategists ever thought that some peoples of Central Asia and the Middle East with the reorganization of ideas the U.S. and its accomplices do not agree? Occupation and resistance are two sides of same coin.
