Oh, readers, he's DETESTABLE!!
Wasn't he CROWING about a DEAL THIS YEAR!!!!!???
Ooooooh, there goes the stomach again, 'scuse me.
"Some fault speech by Bush"
Some? Only some?
"by Terence Hunt, Associated Press | May 16, 2008
JERUSALEM - President Bush gently urged Mideast leaders to "make the hard choices necessary for peace," leaving it to embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel to stand before a divided parliament yesterday and forcefully declare that this war-weary nation is ready for a historic agreement with Palestinians.
I detest Hunt's writing style. I guess that's why Bush always gives him the first question.
The pro-Israel, Zionist bias exudes a nasty stench from the page of my paper, readers!
On a day mourned by Palestinians as the 60th anniversary of their uprooting by Israel's independence, Bush mentioned the Palestinians only once in a 23-minute speech to the Knesset - and then only in the context of what a Palestinian state would look like six decades from now.
SIX DECADES from now?!
After he "says" he wants an agreement this year?!
QUIT LYING, FUCK STICK !!!!
Yup, McCain's got us in Iraq forever and this lying asshole is going to attack Iran for these detestable Israeli creatures!
Some Israelis and Palestinians were disappointed that Bush failed to use his high-profile appearance to push the two sides to take the concrete steps to achieve his own goal of a peace deal before the end of his presidency.
Why would he? He ain't over there for that; he over there to coordinate the Iran attack with Israel's seizing and invasions of the West Bank, Gaza, Syria and Lebanon.
Five months after Bush launched the first serious Mideast peace talks in seven years, the effort seems to have run out of steam. Olmert, facing his fifth criminal investigation in two years, is weak and unpopular and his support in parliament is unclear. The Palestinians are weak and divided, as well, and decades-old disputes remain unsettled.
And CUI BONO (with Fatah acting as Israel's bitch)?
Bush, in his remarks, did not delve into the obstacles but skipped to a rosy scenario 60 years ahead.
"Israel will be celebrating the 120th anniversary as one of the world's great democracies, a secure and flourishing homeland for the Jewish people," Bush forecast.
No, Israel will be GONE by then, thank God!!!
"The Palestinian people will have the homeland they have long dreamed of and deserve - a democratic state that is governed by law, and respects human rights, and rejects terror. From Cairo to Riyadh to Baghdad and Beirut, people will live in free and independent societies, where a desire for peace is reinforced by ties of diplomacy and tourism and trade.
Like they WEREN'T LIVING THERE before!!!!
Just GO AWAY, you SICKENING PIECE of SHIT!!!!!
He did not explain how that would be achieved. Bush predicted Iran and Syria would be peaceful nations and that the Islamic Islamist groups Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas would be defeated.
Again, just SHUT the HELL UP and GO AWAY, you SICKENING PIECE of SHIT!!!!!
Bush's speech was seen as a missed opportunity by some on both sides.
"It was an embarrassing speech, a collection of slogans that somebody wrote for him in order to be nice to Israel, or what he thinks is Israel, and to steer well clear of anything concrete," said Yossi Beilin, an Israeli lawmaker and a member of the dovish Meretz party and one of the prime architects of the Oslo peace accords. "It's a shame and a scandal, in my opinion."Yeah, HE IS, amongst many other things -- like a LYING, LAW-BREAKING, TORTURING MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!!!
And how are Palestinians "celebrating," readers?
"For Palestinians, bleak mood as Israel marks anniversary"
"by Ashraf Khalil, Los Angeles Times | May 16, 2008
JERUSALEM - Across Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, Palestinians mourned their exodus from the land yesterday with moments of silence, black clothing and displays of defiance.
YES!!!
The day marked the 60th anniversary of Israel's declaration of statehood, an event that Palestinians still refer to as the Naqba: the catastrophe.
Because IT IS !!!!
It led to a war between the new state and the surrounding Arab nations - and lives as rootless refugees for generations of Palestinians.
In Ramallah, thousands of black-clad marchers marked the day by rallying in Manara Square. Throughout the West Bank protesters released 21,195 black balloons - one for each day since May 15, 1948.
YES!!!!
A two-minute siren and a moment of silence preceded the event and the Palestinian Authority's president, Mahmoud Abbas, addressed the rally via satellite from Kuwait.
"We mark this anniversary not to feel sorry for ourselves, but to remind everyone of the long and glorious struggle of this people, whose suffering and pain have not ended yet," Abbas said. "It is time the occupation came to an end and the mark of disgrace in human history called the Palestinian Naqba also came to an end."
Then why you sucking Israeli dick, Abass?
Scattered clashes broke out throughout the day between Israeli soldiers and rock-throwing Palestinian youth near the Qalandia checkpoint that bisects the Jerusalem-Ramallah road.
No serious injuries were reported.
In the Gaza Strip, intra-Palestinian disputes marred Naqba protests. Supporters of Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, fought with cadres from the rival Fatah faction during a Fatah-sponsored Naqba rally. Thirty people were reported injured.
Yeah, thanks for stirring things up, Fatah.
Everyone knows your are Israel's bitch, so shut the fuck up, 'kay?
Yesterday's events capped off several days of Palestinian rallies, marches and commemorative events.
Awww, gee, the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM has only covered Israel's "celebrations" -- until today, that is!!!!
Earlier this week in Jerusalem, hundreds of black-clad marchers walked through predominantly Jewish neighborhoods, marking what they said were the former homes of dispossessed Palestinian refugees.
Yeah, they DEFINITELY DID NOT COVER THAT!!!
I would have SEEN IT!!
On Monday, students at East Jerusalem's Al Quds University staged a mocked wedding between a bride named "thawra," or revolution, and a groom named "aid," or return. It was meant to symbolize the demand that Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to Israel, a major sticking point in peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians."
Pffffttttt!!! As if that is the ONLY MAJOR ISSUE!!!
Yup, NO PROBLEM with SETTLEMENT EXPANSION or OCCUPATION!!!
And the right-of-return issue is simply used by the Zionists to obscure the peace process -- most Palestinians say they want COMPENSATION rather than a RETURN!
Of course, both present a problem to asshole Zionists.
Zionist definitely don't want to PAY OUT to anyone (they are to be PAID), but they want the LAND, too!!!
Here's the ONLY ANSWER to the Israeli-Palestinian "conflict":
