 Two Mideast Peace Stories, for a ChangePosted on May 23, 2008
The Mosaic Intelligence Report looks at two welcome developments in the Middle East: On Wednesday, Israel and Syria said they had begun indirect talks in Turkey, the first confirmation in eight years of negotiations between the long-time enemies. On that same day, the Gulf state of Qatar scored a diplomatic coup by pulling off a deal intended to end Lebanon’s protracted crisis.

Annexation of the Gholan by Israel was never recognized by the world community as being an Israeli property,it’s an occupied terretory subject to liberation by either peace negotiations or by force.Israel knows that, and further it knows that if current conditions persist,the whole destiny of Israel,and not just the Gholan,is under big ???.Mr. Olmert,in one of his interviews said:"If the two- state solution collapsed,then, as soon as that happens, the state of Israel will be withered away”.There is an Arab maxim that says, take the wisdom from the mouth of an israeli moron.

What kind of a monster hates peace?
The hooked nose, trench coat warring, mayhem looking and arm to the teeth who wont allow the Palestinian refuge to go home, who imprison and starve millions, who won’t even declare their ever expanding borders, who denounce a democratic, non-denomination government and a country where “ideas and culture rule” all in favor of a stinking corpse. that is who.

Furthermore…
Fatal, why do you HATE peace so much? What is so wrong with PEACE?????

Translation:
Syria and Israel should NOT make peace but should continue to war on each other.
Lebanon should continue to have civil war and NOT have an open, non-denomination government.
Fatal shows once again that he doesn’t want peace, he wants the obliteration of Israel and, ultimately, all Jews. So he hurls pointless, irrelevant, and inane insults based on...based on...Say, what DO you base your crap on, anyway, Fatal?

So this world is divided into two groups: the Chosen, peace-loving, full of hot air, as represented by the one who inherited the hot air above, and neo-Nazis, anti-Semites and Jew-haters.
Do the decent Jews a favor, and stop chewing on your worn out repetitive nonsense, and get a decent education!

As usual, all the neo-nazi anti-semites come out from under their rocks to show THEY don’t want peace between Israel and Syria, nor for Lebanon to live again in peace without the plague of Hezbollah.
For these Jew-haters, there’s no such thing as a GOOD peace if Israel survives.
Monsters. All of them.

The alleged “peace talks” between Israel and Syria is nothing more than another ME red herring. The talks are designed to curry favor with appropriate parties. The Israelis want to look like they’re in a peace seeking mode. The Syrians want to take some pressure off of them internationally. No doubt, Syria wants the Golan Heights returned as it was prior to 1967. But Israel has no intention of doing that. The Golan was annexed by Israel which in international law means the Golan is Israeli property. For Syria to reclaim it in total it would have to win it back in a war. As Olmert said, “We know what Syria wants and they know what we want.” Israel would return the Golan, but under very strict rules----essentially a demilitarized zone and an Israeli presence in the area. This would be unacceptable to Syria and no agreement will be reached which is exactly what Israel wants since the Golan for them is a major military outpost.

By this Fatal means the destruction of the state of Israel and the obliteration of all Jews.
He also means the destruction of Lebanese Democracy and ending forever a return to the beautiful Lebanon of the past where ideas and culture ruled, not religious madmen with Katyusha rockets.
It is an evil man who curses and hates the attempt of enemies to sit down and talk and negotiate peace between them. A wicked man who wants to see them continue to slaughter each other.

Both the peace talks annoy the Bush administration . bush never wanted the Lebanese to unite and settle their problems , he wanted them to fight each other . he is also against syrian making peace with israel .

The rulers of Qatar has proven to be very smart. First, they put this tiny island on the global map by launcing Al Jazeera and second, they’ve stolen the limelight from the Saudis.
