Ayoon wa Azan (Forget About It)
Published in AL HAYAT on 11 - 02 - 2013

Forget about it. I think I have used this expression before, and return to it today because of President Barack Obama's announcement that he is determined to visit Israel next month, which has set off speculation that he intends to revive the peace process and the two-state solution.
The statement by the White House about the upcoming visit spoke only about a discussion of items such as Iran and Syria, and completely ignored the Palestinians. However, I believe this to be a bit of American deception. The president will not wage war against Iran as Israel wants, and will not intervene in Syria or any country. The fact that he ignored the peace process aims to avoid seeing Israel and its evil war cabal in the United States launch a campaign against him before he begins the trip. Afterward, I read commentary in the Israeli press to the effect that it was unlikely for the American president to ignore the peace process during his visit, especially since the White House's announcement that the president was determined to visit Israel also said he would go to Ramallah and Amman, meaning that the Palestinian issue will certainly be a part of the visit.
I say, and repeat, forget about it. There is a fascist neo-Nazi government in Israel that occupies land and is trying to swallow all of Palestine. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a terrorist, like the majority of his ministers.
The peace process was headed for success were it not for the victory of Netanyahu by half a percentage point in the 1996 elections against the perennial loser Shimon Peres, who had inherited the leadership of the Labor Party from Yithzak Rabin, assassinated by the Israeli right. Netanyahu blocked the peace process during his tenure as prime minister, until 1999. President Bill Clinton did not have enough time to end the peace process on a two-state solution when Ehud Barak headed the government, and then another war criminal, Ariel Sharon, came to power, and the situation gradually deteriorated until it finally collapsed.
Netanyahu returned as prime minister in 2009, without "changing his stripes" or letting up in terms of his Nazism and extremism. One example suffices; Obama gave a speech in May 2011 in which he talked about a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. Then, Netanyahu sat with the US president in the White House and sharply and fiercely attacked any proposal for an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders, declaring his rejection of the idea. The following day, Obama was forced to "explain" his remarks at the AIPAC conference, in other words in front of the Israeli lobby. He said that his statement was taken out of context, and that he supported a transfer of territory so that the large settlements would remain under Israeli authority. An "exchange of territory" seems to be a logical phrase, but it is not that at all.
Israeli settlements are in the heart of the West Bank, and around Jerusalem. Israel is proposing an exchange for desert land in the Negev. This means that if you had property in Garden City in Cairo, you would be asked to exchange it for desert property on the border with Libya. The same example can be applied to have land in Riyadh, or the Corniche of Beirut, or next to Umayyad Square in Damascus.
Perhaps most Jews around the world want peace, and perhaps the same majority exists in Israel. However, the Israeli majority chose a coalition of Likud and Israel Beituna over the centrists and the left, while the Palestinians and people in the region will all pay the price.
I read a comment in an Israeli newspaper under a picture of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas with President Mahmoud Ahmadinjad, thanking him for Iran's support of the Palestinians. The comment complained that Abbas was thanking Ahmadinejad, and this threatened Israel.
What do the Israelis want? That Abbas thank the Moldovan Avigdor Lieberman, or the American emigrant Naftali Bennett, or the rabbis of the religious parties, who live out Torah superstitions with no trace of them at all in our countries?
People, forget about it. There will be no peace with a government of neo-Nazis in Israel. Peace will come after a third, fourth and fifth intifada, and an awakening by the Arabs and Muslims. Perhaps before all of these will come the role of weapons of mass destruction, which I do not want to see be used, and if I did, then I hold the Israeli government fully responsible ahead of time, in the absence of peace.
