"Settlement fight harms US interests, Clinton argues; Makes her case at event with Netanyahu" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | March 23, 2010
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to dispel rising tension with Israel yesterday in a speech that reaffirmed the deep US commitment to Israel’s security while warning that Israel’s ongoing occupation of Palestinian land is “unsustainable on all sides’’ and costly to US efforts abroad.
That is why I do not take any of this "fighting" seriously.
“We cannot be blind to the political implications of continued conflict,’’ she told an audience of about 7,500 delegates to the annual conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobby.
Hours later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also underscored the unbreakable friendship between the two nations but remained unwilling to budge on the key issue — construction in East Jerusalem — that had caused the worst diplomat spat between them in more than 10 years.
“Everyone knows these neighborhoods will be part of Israel in any peace settlement,’’ said Netanyahu, in a prepared text of his remarks. “Therefore building them in no way precludes’’ successful talks.
This as the guys tells the Palestinians no preconditions.
Now THAT'S CHUTZPAH!
The prime minister is scheduled to meet with President Obama today.
The crowd greeted Clinton warmly, giving her several standing ovations. Clinton took on the demeanor of an old friend at the podium, addressing AIPAC’s new president by his nickname and making a lighthearted reference to her daughter’s upcoming marriage to an American Jew....
Oh, isn't that all so special!!!
Moments before Clinton spoke, the audience jumped to its feet clapping when AIPAC executive director Howard Kohr declared: “Jerusalem is not a settlement.’’
Kohr’s speech about Israel’s future made only a cursory mention of millions of Palestinians who live in Israeli-occupied territories, focusing instead on how the US government must help Israel achieve international recognition.
F*** that!
The only RECOGNITION I want of Israel is its recognition a the LYING, LAND-STEALING, MASS-MURDERING, GENOCIDAL, WAR-CRIMINAL STATE!
Kohr said Washington must help Israel secure membership to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a club of democratic economies, and a seat on the UN Security Council....
Why?
They have the slavish AmeriKan government for that?
--more--"
And she ain't the only one bending over:
"We in Congress stand by Israel," the leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., assured Netanyahu at an all-smiles appearance before the cameras. "In Congress we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel."
Yeah, no shit!

WTF?
My PRINTED ARTICLE and SEARCH said Israeli leader gets warmer welcome in Congress.
WASHINGTON -- On Capitol Hill, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a warm public reception from Congress on Tuesday, with a top Democrat and Republican joining to praise a leader who has refused to back down in a disagreement the White House says threatens new peace talks.
Yeah, everyone know$ they own our Congre$$.
The bipartisan welcome underscored the breadth of congressional support for Israel even when a U.S. president wants to keep his distance.
Another reason he will get a Republican Congress come November.

Who did you think they are working for?
And it pointed to the limited options, beyond verbal rebukes, that the Obama administration faces in pressuring the Jewish state.
"We in Congress stand by Israel," the leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., assured Netanyahu at an all-smiles appearance before the cameras. "In Congress we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel."
Time to dump this Congress then.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton greeted Netanyahu this week with a polite rebuke. Expansionist Israeli housing policies erode trust and the U.S. position as an honest broker, she said. Netanyahu's public reply came quickly: Jews have built their homes in Jerusalem for centuries and will continue, he told a pro-Israel audience.
U.S. Mideast peace envoy George Mitchell spent Sunday and Monday shuttling between Israeli and Palestinian officials. He returned to Washington for meetings on Tuesday but appeared to have made little headway with the Palestinians....
I'm sorry I haven't been covering this much, readers.
I see the whole "fallout" in the relationship as bullshit. The checks and weapons are still flowing, and the vetos keep on coming at the U.N., so.... I guess that's why the *ewspaper is wasting so much time on this cover story.
That way Obama can't be blamed when Israel attacks Iran, right -- and then we will line up with 'em anyway, 'eh, Americans?!
You should be honored that your children will be sacrificed over Zionist lies.
On Capitol Hill, Obama is mindful that American Jewish backers of Israel are traditionally reliable political supporters for Democrats....
But on Capitol Hill, lawmakers lavished praise on Israel.
"We have no stronger ally anywhere in the world than Israel," said House Republican leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. "We all know we're in a difficult moment. I'm glad the prime minister is here so we can have an open dialogue."
Then WHY are they SPYING ON US, John?
"I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem," Representative Mike Pence of Indiana said on the House floor yesterday after speaking with Netanyahu. "I urge the president to stop all this talk about settlements in Jerusalem and start focusing on isolating a threatening and menacing and rising nuclear Iran."
Translation: VOTING IN Repuglicans ain't gonna change s***!!!!
Oh, and THEY ARE, believe me!
Attack scheduled for APRIL/MAY, right, USrael?
Back to the print:
Pelosi and Boehner both pointed to the threat from Iran as a top concern and an area in which the United States will cooperate with Israel....
Yeah, I KNEW this TRIP wasn't about PALESTINE at all!!
It is about the UPCOMING ASSAULT on IRAN!!!
Netanyahu thanked his congressional hosts for what he called warm, bipartisan support.
"We face two great challenges," Netanyahu said, a "quest for peace with our Palestinian neighbors" and stopping Iran from developing atomic weapons.
Obama has remained out of the fray as Clinton and other U.S. officials have rebuked Israel.
All BULLS*** SHOW FOOLEYS for public consumption.
Netanyahu's visit was planned before the housing dispute, and the Obama administration appears eager to let the awkwardly timed visit pass with as little public remark as possible. Both countries are eager to defuse the tensions but have refused to detail what promises Netanyahu is making to ease the most serious diplomatic breach between the two nations....
That is where the print cuts it.
In his meeting with Pelosi, Netanyahu said Israel had been building in east Jerusalem since the 1967 Mideast war, when it captured the West Bank from Jordan and would continue, according to Netanyahu's office.
The United States and other would-be international peacemakers have never recognized Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem and equate the Jewish concentrations there with Jewish settlements on the West Bank. The West Bank would make up the bulk of a future Palestinian state, and Palestinians claim that Jewish building leaves them with less space and undesirable or unworkable borders.
Yeah, but who really cares what Palestinians want?
This didn't make either the print or web versions.
The Palestinian demand for a halt to building in Jerusalem as a precondition for peace talks, Netanyahu said, will serve only to delay peace talks further.
He is SOMETHING, isn't he?
Yup, ISRAEL can have ALL the PRECONDITIONS they WANT!
Netanyahu said the sides "must not be trapped by an unreasonable and illogical demand."
Remember, readers, EVERYTHING the ZIONIST JEW ACCUSES of others they are GUILTY of THEMSELVES!!
It is a PSYCHOPATHIC TRAIT know as PROJECTION whereby you PROJECT YOUR BEHAVIOR and CRIMES onto SOMEONE ELSE who is INNOCENT!!
Tensions between the U.S. and it main Mideast ally were palpable on Monday when Netanyahu abruptly rescheduled the venue and format of a meeting with Clinton.
PFFFFFFTTT!!
After all that nice cock-sucking she did at the AIPAC meeting?
Instead of seeing her before photographers at the State Department, Netanyahu had Clinton come to his hotel suite for a private, one-on-one talk without aides present, U.S. officials said.
Oh, HE SUMMONED HER, did he?
That was followed by a private dinner at Vice President Joe Biden's home that was meant to salve hurt feelings.
But there is a BIG FIGHT between us, world!
You BUYING the Zionist MSM shit shovel, are you?
And is Obama on the outs?
Is Israel going to assassinate him like JFK and then have their propaganda machine known as the MSM blame a "bagger?"
Meanwhile:
Obama and Netanyahu conferred for about 90 minutes in the Oval Office, but in a break with custom reporters were not allowed to see the close allies shake hands and begin their discussions. The White House had no immediate comment on their talks. Netanyahu stayed behind at the White House for another two hours after the formal talks with Obama, but what he did during that time was not immediately clear....
Acting like it is HIS HOUSE, and WHY NOT?
He has his SLAVE working it.

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu culminated a tense visit to Washington yesterday with a face-to-face session with President Obama that apparently failed to resolve the impasse between the two over a comprehensive Middle East peace plan.
The visit was made as Netanyahu, struggling to balance diplomacy with a fractious domestic political alliance that put him in power, has seen a cooling of ties with the United States after his government’s decision this month to approve new Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem.
The money and weapons still flowing?
Then SHADDUP, NYT!!!
While White House officials said they were seeking to put the two weeks of public fighting behind them, several administration officials acknowledged that a larger confrontation was looming as Obama seeks to make good on his promise to pursue a peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians....
Oh, I thought they meant Iran and the World War III.
Netanyahu’s difficult position was on display during an unusually testy visit to Washington. He and Obama did not appear side by side before reporters or even pose for cameras.
No, but they had a GREAT TIME up at the White House!
On Capitol Hill, Netanyahu received a warm public reception from Congress yesterday, the Associated Press reported. A top Democrat and Republican praised a leader who has refused to back down in a disagreement the White House says threatens new peace talks.
The bipartisan welcome underscored the breadth of congressional support for Israel even when a US president wants to keep his distance. And it pointed to the limited options, beyond verbal rebukes, the Obama administration faces in pressuring the Jewish state.
“We in Congress stand by Israel,’’ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, assured Netanyahu at an all-smiles appearance before the cameras. “In Congress we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel.’’
So the NYT is now RIPPING OFF AP, huh? Don't they have to PAY for that?
Just hours after delivering a defiant speech in which he told a pro-Israel lobby that “Jerusalem is not a settlement; it’s our capital,’’ Netanyahu refused to budge on an American demand that he reverse a housing plan in the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood in East Jerusalem....
Then CUT OFF the MONEY!
Of course, then the bankers destroy what is left of our economy.
Obama administration officials say they will make do, for now, with the concessions that they have extracted from Netanyahu, however limited they may be.
Try like NONE!
WTF, NYT?
Still, the Obama administration and Israeli officials are trying to lower the temperature....
The FOOD FIGHT is JUST THAT, dear readers!
