Let’s see, how long before the world jumps on this peace plan?
GERONA, Spain Nov 16, 2006 (AP)— Spain, France and Italy unveiled a five-point Middle East peace initiative Thursday, calling Israeli-Palestinian violence intolerable and saying that Europe must take a lead role in ending the conflict.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced the plan at a summit with President Jacques Chirac of France. Italy is also on board, he said, and Spain hopes to win the endorsement of Britain and Germany and the broader European Union ahead of a December summit in Brussels.
The plan has five components: an immediate cease-fire; formation of a national unity government by the Palestinians that can gain international recognition; a prisoner exchange including the Israeli soldiers whose kidnapping sparked the war in Lebanon and fighting in Gaza this summer; talks between Israel’s prime minister; and the Palestinian president and an international mission in Gaza to monitor a cease-fire.
So, what isn’t discussed? Let’s take a look at some of those points again:
an immediate cease-fire
This does not call for an end to the weapons and arms smuggling going on right now, nor does it call for tighter restrictions on the Gaza crossings and Syria and Lebanon borders to prevent Israel’s enemy from re-arming themselves. As for the rocket fire from Gaza, well, the world never mentions that, even when it kills Israelis.
formation of a national unity government by the Palestinians that can gain international recognition
Why is this? To stop the killing? No. To give the palestinians more money. There is no mention, mind you, of requiring the palestinian government to recognize Israel. No mention of calling off Hamas’ rejectionist attitude towards the Jewish state. Nope. Status quo, let’s throw more money at the terrorists and wonder why they won’t stop killing Israelis.
a prisoner exchange including the Israeli soldiers whose kidnapping sparked the war in Lebanon and fighting in Gaza this summer
Yeah, because that’s working so well so far. And because it’s not like the UN passed a resolution requiring the release of the Israel captives in Lebanon or anything. Oh, wait. They did.
talks between Israel’s prime minister; and the Palestinian president
Been there, done that. Abbas lies, makes promises he won’t keep, and then says that he will settle for nothing less than total Israeli capitulation to palestinian demands. Because they’ve totally proven they deserve them. It’s not like they’re trying to kill Israelis every day or anything like that.
And last, but certainly not least:
an international mission in Gaza to monitor a cease-fire.
In other words, the Europeans are so happy with the useless UNIFIL monitors in Lebanon, they’d like to ring Israel completely with them and tie her hands completely. Nasrallah brags that he has more rockets now than he had at the start of the war, UNIFIL forces report that they’re not allowed to patrol, and under the closed eyes of the UN, Hezbullah has re-armed itself with more and better rockets. Mark my words: More Israelis will die in the next round. Many more.
But the French are threatening to shoot down IAF planes. They can’t seem to find arms smugglers in Lebanon, but they think they have the right to shoot at Israeli Air Force jets.
This “peace plan” is not a peace plan. It is another tool with which to advance the palestinian and Arab and Muslim agenda to destroy Israel. Europe is once again becoming a partner to the destruction of Jews. Only this time, they’re blaming the Jews for it.
Spare us from any more “peace” plans from Europe. None of them are worth the paper they’re printed on.
The Europeans don’t just hate Jews. They are practicing for their own demise.
the hollow cost
they’re coming to kill us all again
they say it’s only for our own good
they don’t care if we live in pain
we aren’t them that’s why we should
that europeans sell us out is never cause to cry or shout
it’s so routine we know they’re mean
and now that all their muslim friends
insist they join them in jihad
they’re wondering what they ought to do
they thought that genocide was bad
perhaps they’ll come to see that life
goes on when they are second class
as their own bureaucrats have ruled
pursuit of happiness is crass
The full story of France’s one-sided pro-Arab, anti-Jewish (if not downright anti-Semitic) policies may be found in David Pryce-Jones’ book Betrayal: France, the Arabs, and the Jews.
And, as France goes, so goes Europe. Or should I write “Eurabia”?
Typical European bowing to Arab demands-much to do about nothing !
