Comments on: Mary Robinson: Building settlements will lead to one-state solution http://www.yourish.com/2009/08/28/8678 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2009/08/28/8678/comment-page-1#comment-37448 Michael Lonie Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:41:30 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=8678#comment-37448 I would guess she means that continued settlement building will lead the Arabs to not make peace with Israel, but to continue the war and eventually win, thereby eliminating Israel and producing one state of "Palestine" (or South Syria if Syria takes the place over, or North Sinai if Egypt takes the place over, or...etc.). Considering that driving out or killing all the Jews has been the Arab goal for most of a century, and remains such today, I don't see where building or not building some apartments in Jerusalem or even in Hebron and Gush Etzion is going to change their attitude in any way. It's plain to anyone with a spark of intelligence that the Arabs' negotiating, when they deign to do so, is mere treachery. This was made plain as a pikestaff at the recent convention the Pali Arabs held. Mary Robinson and her pals one-sidedly denounce Israel for its imaginary transgressions with tiresome regularity. The one-sidedness shows that they are advocates for Israel's enemies, and are therefore advocates for the genocide or (at best) wholesale ethnic cleansing that is the goal of those enemies. If they understand that then they are morally evil. If they don't they are too stupid or too ignorant to be qualified to have an opinion on the matter. Israel is the only free country in the region with the partial exception of the Turkish Republic, now visibly drifting toward an Islamist depostism. Mary Robinson attacks that one free country constantly, and for that gets a medal of freedom? It's like the award of the old Lenin Peace Prize, invariably given only to those who helped destroy peace in favor of tyranny.

How strange that they cannot find fault with any other countries REAL human rights abuses, but focus strictly on Israel protecting itself from militant Islam..

Hmmmm sounds like something positive .... let's refuse to freeze the building of "settlements" and get this "one state solution".
