Israeli Settlement and double standard!

So here is a headline from AP (7/21/09):
Israeli official: US should honor past deals

“JERUSALEM – Israel's deputy prime minister said Tuesday that U.S. calls for a freeze on West Bank settlement construction run counter to past agreements between the two nations and could undermine U.S. credibility.
The comments by Dan Meridor underscored the growing rift between Israel and the U.S. over construction in the settlements. Meridor, a respected veteran of Israeli politics, is considered a moderate voice in the new Israeli government.” & “Israeli officials and former White House official Eliot Abrams have cited a series of written and oral understandings reached with the Bush administration that appear to permit limited settlement construction.
Speaking to foreign reporters, Meridor, who is one of six deputy premiers under Netanyahu, said it was important for these understandings to be honored. Otherwise, it would raise questions about the legitimacy of future agreements, he said.
"We never had an agreement with the previous administration. We had an agreement with America," he added. "The agreement we had with the Americans is binding on us and them ... They should keep to the agreement." “


I have to admire Israel for their ability to change history. So when they please they cry wolf and say not fair America has to go by what we agreed on, but we will not agree on anything the world asked us to do!!

HELLO, who is the dumb person that actually thinks this would fly, oh wait if I said that that means I’m anti-Semitic for not kneeling to Israel every demand.
Where is Israeli leaders when United Nation issues a resolution to withdraw from West Bank (it is still considered an occupied territory).

Let us see:

1) Resolution 465: the issue of the Israeli settlements and administration in "the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem". This refers to the Palestinian territories of the West Bank including East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights.

2) Resolution 478: declared Israel's 1980 "Jerusalem Law" null and void and required that it be rescinded forthwith while affirming that it was a violation of international law. This resolution called upon member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from the city. The law declared Jerusalem to be Israel's "eternal and indivisible" capital.

I could go on and list other resolutions but why would this matter if the country thinks it can walk on water, or for that matter “split” the red sea in half and say it’s not enough.
If Israel except other nations to go by previous agreements then Israel has to abide by the same international rules that govern other nations.

"Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, are illegal and an obstacle to peace and to economic and social development [... and] have been established in breach of international law."

What are they thinking?

Ok so the Republicans lost it all and instead of trying to figure a good strategy to gain back the presidency, house, senate etc. they run around with chickens that lost their heads.
Entertain me for a second here:
Rush Limbaugh, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! One of the most prejudice people I have ever listened to is a spoke person for Republican. This guy is far off RIGHT it’s not even funny, I thought being a KKK member and burning crosses is thing of the past.
Sarah Palin, ARE YOU KIDDING ME! She is considering running for presidency in 2012. President of what? She probably doesn’t know what USA means. How can you even think of being a leader of the free world (emphasis on WORLD) if you haven’t travelled all over and experienced different cultural and new ways of doing things. Does she thinks because John McCain made the biggest gamble in his life and stupid one for that matter by appointing her a running VP she has a chance? HELLO wake up from your sleep Sara, McCain lost the election by HUGE margin because you opened your mouth. Imagine if you run for president, the Republican party will cease to exists.

Is this a big Republican joke, Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are the new face of this party? It’s not April’s fool’s day or is it?
I would like to see a balance in this country we can’t have Democrats running the show and we can’t have also Republicans running the show. What this country needs is a stale mate between those two parties. This way not much damage can be done i.e. sending us to un-warranted wars or running a huge deficit.
Republicans, you need to join the rest of the world in the 21 century and stop living in the past, you can have your values and be on the right without being an idiot.

Good luck to all
