[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA No. This is not a parody. Here is what APN President and CEO Debra DeLee wrote: #1. We still don't know all the details of the agreement But #2. We hope that the agreement is implemented And while she admits she doesn�t know the details of the deal she fails to even condition her support for the deal on meeting certain criteria. Instead she goes on to slam Israel for possibly opposing a deal whose details she is not aware of. This isn't "Peace Now" - it's "Piece Now".] APN: Palestinian Reconciliation Deal is an Opportunity for Obama By Lara Friedman on April 27, 2011 4:30 PM http://peacenow.org/entries/apn_palestinian_reconciliation_deal_is_an_opportunity_for_obama Washington, DC -- APN today welcomed news of a Fatah-Hamas deal. To the degree that the agreement provides for elections and a joint government, this is an opportunity that the Obama administration should not squander. Commenting on today's development, APN President and CEO Debra DeLee stated: "Today's announcement of a Fatah-Hamas deal to jointly form a government and to hold new elections is good news, and we hope that the agreement is implemented. While we still don't know all the details of the agreement, we know that a Palestinian government representing all Palestinians, with security and governance capacity in both the West Bank and Gaza, is vital to the achievement of a peace agreement. "Clearly, it would be preferable if Hamas -- a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization with a long history of bloody attacks on Israel -- could be completely wished away. However, five years of U.S., Israeli, and international efforts to sideline Hamas have failed. The reality today is that the Gaza-West Bank split is a hurdle to peace efforts, raising questions about the capacity of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to implement an agreement. "For years the U.S. has made the mistake of opposing Palestinian reconciliation rather than encouraging it; it should not compound this mistake by wasting this opportunity to engage a new Palestinian government. It should do so making clear that U.S. relations with this government -- including decisions about the future of our foreign assistance program for the Palestinians -- will be based solely on the positions and actions of the government. Unfortunately, there are many in Israel and the U.S., including inside the Netanyahu government and the Obama Administration, who will try to spin today's announcement as evidence that the Palestinian Authority is not a partner in peace. Such a reaction is at best mistaken; at worst it is a cynical pretext for not negotiating peace. "This reconciliation announcement bolsters the conclusion that now is the time for President Obama to redouble his own commitment to peace. By laying out his own plan for peace -- including presenting substantive peace parameters and his plan of action for moving forward -- Obama has the opportunity to re-assert credible U.S. leadership, to forestall action at the UN in September, and to take the true measure of both the Israeli and the Palestinian governments' commitments to peace. He should not miss this opportunity." ## -------------------------------------------- IMRA - Independent Media Review and Analysis Website: www.imra.org.il
Israel should not be fearing world opinion. Israel should be making the world fear (respect) her!!! And remember, it is the rich oil cartels who rule the world, NOT the Zionists!!
