Today April 25th the USA has sent George Mitchell Obama's point man on Israel to Israel yet once again.
For the past year we have scene Barak try his best to start and bring back the peace process in the failing
Israeli Palestinian conflict. Even Vice -President Biden went to Israel. I am not going to comment on the process or what the outcome might be since I hoping for the best during these meetings.
I will tell you this the whole Middle East Peace process. You have to look at the Countries involved. You have to look at the double headed snake in the room. Syria and Iran. If you cut off the heads you will find that peace will be an objective. If you do not it will be hard to see. Forget about religion is the Countries governments that are fucking you.
All the Best,
SJOK
Here are some thoughts from an Israeli officer......
Israel must prepare the international diplomatic community for a war of this kind and will have to make it clear from the beginning that we have no alternative. Israel will be tasked with explaining that, because the enemy is protecting terrorists during a time of war, we have no choice but to hit the enemy's home front and infrastructure. The very fact of an international debate on this issue is liable to deter the Syrians on the one hand, though it might also put Israel under international diplomatic pressure to restrain itself on the other - but that is a risk worth taking.
Above all, Israel must make it clear right now that, in the event of a missile attack from the north, it will act on the goal of immediately deposing the Alawite regime in Syria even before turning its attention to the missile threat. Such a statement could deter the Syrians from arming Hezbollah with Scuds, out of concern that the Muslim organization might fire the missiles without first coordinating with Syria.
