ORIGINAL: TheHeretic quote:
ORIGINAL: tweakabelle I'm afraid you are going to have to explain to me how the inability of the Palestinians and Israelis to reach a peace agreement is the fault of the Obama Administration. It's really simple, Tweak. If your Ford needs a timing belt replaced, and the mechanic steps up and declares he'll take care of it, and then can't, it isn't the Ford that failed. The mechanic failed, and is trying to blame the car. (That's a much better metaphor than you are likely to grasp.) As for the Palestinians, I don't give a fuck anymore. I say nobody in Israel or the rest of the civilized world should say another word to them in any official way, until the Saudi's or UAE host the meeting at their embassy in Tel Aviv. It's an analogy not a metaphor and a particularly bad one too. Why? Because the US didn't undertake at any point to "take care of it" or to solve the outstanding issues. The US got the parties who could solve the outstanding issues talking to each other. Sadly, I doubt if your case of Obama Derangement Syndrome will allow you to see that. Your problem. Many people would question whether a country that practices ethnic cleansing, apartheid as well as encouraging and subsidising its own citizens participation in the war crimes that are State policy, all of which Israel does as a matter of course, would qualify as part of the "civilised world". A fundamental feature of civilised countries is their adherence to international law and human rights standards. Israeli actions over the decades have demonstrated a consistent contempt for international law and the human rights of Palestinians (and many others), as the record shows.
