Top officials from the United Nations, United States, Russia and European Union will meet on Saturday [February 1] to discuss how they can help U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s drive for a Middle East peace deal, the EU said on Friday. …
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she would chair the meeting with Kerry, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Quartet envoy Tony Blair, the former British prime minister.
I have always disliked the idea of the ‘Quartet’, basically a gang of bullies who conspire to find ways to force the Jews out of the territories, something that in the foreign offices of Europe and the US State Department seems to have a higher priority than any other geopolitical issue — I won’t list them; you know about Syria, South Sudan, etc.
These representatives of powerful nations and international organizations quite unashamedly apply the principles that ‘might makes right’, ‘international law is whatever gives us an advantage’, and ‘historical fact is anything we want it to be’. Then they try to wreck the tiny Jewish state because their lunatic idea of ‘justice’ demands yet another vicious Arab (possibly Islamist) dictatorship in its place. And (with the exception of the US) these are mostly the same perps that have brutalized the Jews for centuries. It will be chaired by the woman who can commemorate the Holocaust without mentioning Jews.
Speaking of justice, where is the justice in such a conspiracy, a meeting at which decisions are taken to force a small state, uninvited to the meeting, to give up territory to a vicious aggressor (the ‘Palestinians’, after all, are just a proxy for the rest of the Arab and Muslim world)?
Does this sound like something that happened to another small nation before, with many of the same players?
It does — which is why, in the words of the great Paul Harvey, I want to tell you the Rest of the Story:
The Quartet met today, in Munich, Germany.
Well, they are not going to succeed.
I see no real chance of a “peace” deal.
Obama may have thwarted Israel in dealing decisively with Iran (I hope not, but it does appear to be the case, I fear), but this is where Bibi & Co. are going to make their stand, and Obama, the EU, etc., can just go fly a kite.
Abbas & Co. are NEVER going to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
Netanyahu – with the full support of the Israeli public – is never going to sign a deal without said recognition.
This is not happening.
Go screw yourself, Obama.
