The Palestinian First Myth
Since taking office, President Obama has insisted on making the Palestinian-Israeli issue his top foreign policy priority. In this week's meetings with Prime Minister Netanyahu, direct talks between the Prime Minister and Mr. Abbas took center stage. This is unfortunate, because the main cause of concern should not be the creation of a Palestinian state but it should be stopping Iran from attaining nuclear capability.
While the peace talks discussion was taking place in the White House, the Ambassador from the United Arab Emirates was making news with his forthright and accurate assessment of the Iran situation. The
Ambassador declared that we can not live with a nuclear Iran and he endorsed the use of military force if that is what it takes to stop Iran from attaining nukes.
This undermines two myths perpetuated by the Obama Administration. First, the myth that Arab countries in region oppose using military force against Iran. And second, that the Palestinian issue is uppermost on the minds of the Arab states. Even if the Israelis reach an agreement, Iran, the main problem in the region will still be in need of solving.
The problem lies not with Iran, but the fact that the Obama administration refuses to recognize that there is no elected official to represent the Palestinian people.Abbas' term as president of the Palestinian Authority ended in Januarty 2009, 19 months ago The so-called legislative body is controlled by Hamas, which the United States recognizes as a terrorist organization. There can be dealings until the Palestinian people choose leaders who truly want peace and will get rid of the terrorists and will agree to recognize the State of Israel. Until then, ther is no one within the Palestinian organizations who have indicate they can be trusted. They still teach their children hate, still willing to sacrifice them as human bombs, and still think that becasue of their numbers the Israelis will back down. It was said after WWII, "NEVER AGAIN", and it will be said again, and again, as long as their are those who mourn the loss of Adolf Hitler. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!
