"Security Council is urged to stop Israeli settlement" by Peter James Spielmann, Associated Press | September 27, 2008
UNITED NATIONS - Saudi Arabia, the Arab League and the Palestinian president urged the UN Security Council yesterday to save the faltering Middle East peace process by demanding an end to Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory.
Nothing wrong with that: Memory Hole: Future Vision of Israel
The plea came on the same day that the key international players trying to promote peace in the Middle East - the United Nations, the United States, the European Union and Russia - met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The so-called Quartet later issued a statement criticizing Israel's "increasing settlement activity, which has a damaging impact on the negotiating environment" and calling on Israel "to dismantle outposts erected since March 2001."
Yesterday's gathering occurred during a difficult period for the region. Israel is awaiting a new government, the Palestinians are seriously divided, and President Bush is looking for an agreement by the end of the year. After an afternoon meeting of the Quartet, its Middle East negotiator, former British prime minister Tony Blair, said "now there is a massive amount to do."
But he said there has been progress in engaging Israel in various levels of negotiation with the Palestinians, the Syrians, and the Lebanese. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon drew attention to the final comment in the Quartet statement, in which the group agreed to be briefed directly by the Israelis and Palestinians, suggesting that the process was about to enter a new phase.
I'm tired of globalist pukes spewing shit and sucking off Iz-ray-HELL!!!!
And look at what the Zionist-biased terms the BLOCKING of PEACE!
For months, the United States had successfully kept Palestinian issues out of the Security Council, leaving room for private discussions between Israel and the Palestinians to work. Yesterday's debate seemed to signal that time had run out for the quiet backdoor talks.
Translation: The U.S. USED its VETO to STOP PEACE for Iz-ray-HELL!!!!!!
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that "a definite end must be put to settlement diplomacy." Saudi Prince Saud Al-Faisal said the settlement problem is the "one issue that threatens to bring down the whole peace process."
Amr Moussa, speaking for the Arab League, noted yesterday that "there are only three months left in the year 2008 and there is no sign" of a Palestinian state emerging.
The new Israeli UN ambassador, Gabriela Shalev, replied that a stranger visiting the United Nations might conclude from the debate that Hamas violence, missile attacks, the buildup of Hezbollah forces in Lebanon and Iran's nuclear ambitions posed no problem to the peace process."Fuck you, you lying, false-flag flying fucker!!!!
