Obama to Emphasize Two-state Solution in Meeting with Netanyahu

The price of Israel's creation can be read in the book, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe. Pappe writes: " ... on 10 March 1948 ... veteran Zionist leaders together with young military Jewish officers, put the final touches to a plan for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine." This led to 750,000 Palestinians being driven from their towns and villages in 1947-48. Many fled in the wake of atrocities such as the massacre of the villagers in Deir Yassin by Jewish forces on April 9, 1948. Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, and vast tracts of land, houses, shops, olive and orange groves were confiscated.

From about 1938 on to the founding of Israel, Menachem Begin was the leader of the Irgun. A terrorist group that regularly assassinated English soldiers in Palestine and frequently hung their booby-trapped bodies in public places. Under Begin, the Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, killing 97 British civil servants. The Stern Gang, under Yitzhak Shamir, also assassinated the U.N. representative to Palestine, Count Bernadotte, in 1948.

Of course since then the Israeli Government has spied on America numerous times(see J. Pollard). And killed our citizens, In 1967 Israel attacked the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering vessel flying a US flag, killing 34 crew members. See "Assault on the Liberty," by James M. Ennes, Jr. (Random House).

Now, for all you "Historically Challenged Individuals concerned about Iran". In 1953 The democratically elected government of Iran was overthrown by the CIA and Britain's MI6. This led to the "Shah of Iran" dictatorship up until 1979, during which thousands of Iranians were killed, tortured and repressed and the oil flowed to the west like honey. Further when the "Shah" was kicked out of the Country, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini wanted the Billions of Dollars in Iranian assets deposited in the "Chase Manhattan Bank" released to Iran. This would have caused the 3rd largest bank in the world (at that time) to fail. The U.S. was having none of that, nor was David Rockefeller, Chairman & CEO of Chase Manhattan Bank and founding member of the Tri-lateral Commission along with other commission members such as Paul Volker, Alan Greenspan and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Eventually this led to the Iranian hostage crisis and oil embargo. Now since that time we have backed Iraq (under Saddam Hussein) in their 7-8 year war with Iran, we have shot down an Iranian civilian passenger jet killing all 290 civilians on board in 1988 and have yet to return the billions of dollars in Iranian money over to the Nation of Iran. The fact that very few American citizens are even aware of the above mentioned circumstances lends proof that europeans view us as a nation of dummies lacking minimum comprehension as to the "cause and effect of our actions.

Now to the threatened attack by Israel on Iran and its nuclear facilities. Any attack is an impossibility due to several insurmountable conditions. First they would have to get U.S. permission to do a fly-over of Iraq and that won't happen, their jets would be shot down. Next they would have to be in a position to contend with the astronomical increase in the price of oil and the economic disaster that would befall every nation on the planet as a result of their actions. Do you think China or Russia would allow that to happen. They would be a nation of pariahs treated as lepers by the rest of the world and Israel, as a nation, could not survive if they were not destroyed "out-of-hand". They can talk all they want but everyone knows that the world will not allow Israel to drag it into WWIII.
