No Peace without Justice II
Ranzy Baroud has got it right with respect to the long term designs Israel has regarding territorial gains. The Palestinians are damned if the do and damn if they don't... So long as the US Government has decided to unabashedly support Israel in all its ventures against the Palestinians.
How Israel Is Once Again Redefining the Terms of Peace - by Ramzy Baroud: "The Sharm el-Sheikh summit was a 'success' because it kowtowed to the expectations of Israel and its American client. It fell short of making any serious effort to bring peace that is defined in accordance with the principals of justice as entrenched in international law and a long list of relevant United Nations resolutions. It demanded Palestinians to overcome their violent tendencies and expected the long-victimized nation to provide Israel, a nuclear power with an army ranked with the top five, with the security it 'rightfully needs and deserves.' Not once was the term 'occupation' mentioned throughout the whole conference, says Robert Fisk, writing for the Independent.
Sharm el-Sheikh failed to address the major grievances that defined the Palestinian national struggle for generations: an end to occupation, the right of return, and the removal of the settlements, among others. The summit was almost exclusively reserved for talks about Israel's security: since when was it acceptable for an occupying power to demand security from its captives?"
