The foreign minister of the newly sworn in Benjamin Netanyahu has just made a statement today that Israel shall not be bound by the Annapolis Convention that was held in 2007. Israel is changing its peace plans currently. The Annapolis Convention was held to re-ignite the peace process, and it called for a two state solution. However, Leiberman is rejecting the whole idea, and saying that Israel is not commited and will not follow the policies of the Annapolis convention. I don't understand right now how the Americans can think that the Palestinians are the ones that do not want peace. Everyone is sick of the Israelis' mindsets and I know that they think all of Historic Palestine belongs to them. But right now it's 2009, not 3000 years ago when there used to be Israelite Kingdoms in the area. What I am trying to say is that they have to share the land. However, no the Foreign Minster of Israel "surprises" us and says that the Two state solution is not on their agenda. Of course it isn't and it has never been. The only thing that changed is that someone was brave enough to say it. Now that the whole thing is in the world's face, and on the table for the United Nations to see, they have to start pressuring the Jewish state to pursue peace. All we are getting right now are promises from Netanyahu that there will be peace, and he never even mentioned a Palestinian state. All he mentioned was that the Palestinians will rule themselves, but not to the extent where Israel is threatened. That tells you everything you need to know. Israel does not want a Palestinian state prospering alongside it, because it is afraid for its life. This is prepostrous though. They want to continue their occupation of the West Bank and Gaza yet they still wnat peace to be established. And when the Palestinians do not accept, then the world puts the blame on them saying that they don't want peace and are moving away. Israel sets the rules, and the Palestinians have to follow. It's ridiculous, that's all I can say.

Lieberman: Israel Is Not Bound to Annapolis

Exactly--so ridiculous. You know my friend, she says it's the Palestinians' faults too, but I know she's just ignorant. Because, the average Palestinian just wants to live in a world where they don't fear to sleep at night or step outside of their homes every morning. It's so stupid that Israel is not willing to give up anything for these people. Well, at least they've finally admitted it. All that's left is for the US to open their eyes and see it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the school thing; I always want to debate about it, but either they don't care or don't know enough about the situations. How can people not care!? One time, I asked my classmate which president he wanted, and he said "he doesn't care!" I was saying how weird that is. How can someone not care who is running our country and making the laws we follow? Appalling.
