"Israel must end provocative digs
Since Israel is the dominant power, the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bears primary responsibility for smothering that fire before it erupts into a much larger conflagration.
The current crisis originates in Palestinian fear and anger over archaeological excavations near, but not underneath, the Al Aqsa mosque. The digs are under the control of an ultra-nationalist Israeli group intent on justifying a Jewish claim to Jerusalem by locating remnants of what is called the City of David. Those excavations have weakened the foundations of nearby Arab houses and led critics across the Muslim world to warn of a plot to cause the collapse of the Al Aqsa mosque.'
Imagine what a few bombs in the tunnels would do. The fears seem perfectly logical to me. Zionists want to rebuild their Temple, and what better way to go, cui bono?

The furor over the excavations has given new force to Palestinian demands that Israel stop settling Jews in East Jerusalem, which would make it much harder to divide the ancient city between Israel and the Palestinian Authority....

Jordan, the Arab state most friendly to Israel, has called on the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to halt the excavations and to stop efforts to change the population balance between Arabs and Israelis in East Jerusalem.
Is it Jordan? I thought it was Egypt or Saudi Arabia.
If President Obama wants to preserve hope of a two-state peace agreement, he must persuade Netanyahu to suspend the influx of Israeli Jews into East Jerusalem and put a stop to recklessly provocative excavations. The surest way to scuttle peace talks before they get started is for one side to give extremists on the other side a reason to call for martyrdom and holy war.
Now you SEE WHAT the ZIONIST PAPER is IMPLICATING with the WORD CHOICE, right?
No matter WHAT HAPPENS it will be MUSLIMS FAULT.
So sayeth the Muslim-hating, Zionist War Daily!

I'm more used to seeing these kind:
"The UN is used again
IN THEORY, the United Nations conference on racism that concluded this week in Geneva meets a deep need: for people around the world to be protected from racism, xenophobia, and intolerance of minorities. Which is why nobody should be happy that, despite the good intentions expressed in the conference's final document, the event degenerated into an embarrassing display of ill-will and antagonism.
The most damaging resort to politicized invective was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rant against the West for imposing what he called racist Zionism on the Palestinians. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was admirably forthright in deploring Ahmadinejad's attempt "to accuse, divide, and even incite." And the UN chief showed a lucid understanding of Ahmadinejad's motivation when he said it was "very regretful that the conference was misused by the Iranian president for political purposes." This perverting of the conference's purpose justifies President Obama's decision not to attend.

All up in the slave trade, 'eh?
Ahmadinejad's Geneva speech was meant to serve his reelection campaign. That was obvious in the airport rally his backers organized for his return to Tehran. One pro-government Iranian paper hailed his performance in Geneva, saying he shot the last bullet into the brain of the West.
Noxious as he may be, Ahmadinejad is only the most glaring example of a contradiction at the core of the UN racism conference. The last thing an Ahmadinejad wants to discuss is his own regime's vicious intolerance of Ba'hais, gays, lesbians, and nonbelievers. The same can be said of many other governments that participated in the conference.Israel's treatment of Palestinians, for example!
They are a large part of the problem, and they alone can hardly be relied upon to provide the solution.
