Ban Ki-moon keeps woofing at Israel over occupation — but not a word about sanctions

Yes it may be seen as meaningless words but at the very least he shot an arrow back at the Yahoo and his cronies which is a positive. It could also be the case hopefully that he is waiting for the French negotiating initiative to run it`s course and fail, as it surely will, before he announces that the UN has no choice and is finally flushing away the possibility of a 2SS.

Having looked at the reader`s comments in the NYT it is as ever illuminating to read the same old same old “whataboutery”. It reminds me of Jon Snow`s epic put down of the revolting “let`s be clear ” Regurgitev ( pointing out to him that he was not talking about Outer Mongolia or Inner Nigeria but about Gaza and that the Channel 4 reporter was not in Outer Mongolia or Inner Nigeria but in Gaza). The why just us and none of the other bastards around the world mantra of these Israel firsters in the US and their fellow western Zionists in Europe mirrors the eternal victim / eternally victimised psychosis of the Zionist Israelis on the actual plot. If you remove that particular drip feed then they are totally screwed.

Another boringly predictable theme in the comments is the ongoing canard of ” how can we negotiate if they refuse to recognise Israel” where western Zionists simply lie to themselves and comfort themselves if challenged with the Yahoo late addendum of “as a Jewish state” by simply ignoring the uncomfortable reality of the following:

1. LETTER FROM YASSER ARAFAT TO PRIME MINISTER RABIN:
September 9, 1993
Yitzhak Rabin
Prime Minister of Israel

Mr. Prime Minister,
The signing of the Declaration of Principles marks a new era in the history of the Middle East. In firm conviction thereof, I would like to confirm the following PLO commitments:
The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security.
The PLO accepts United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.
The PLO commits itself to the Middle East peace process, and to a peaceful resolution of the conflict between the two sides and declares that all outstanding issues relating to permanent status will be resolved through negotiations.
The PLO considers that the signing of the Declaration of Principles constitutes a historic event, inaugurating a new epoch of peaceful coexistence, free from violence and all other acts which endanger peace and stability. Accordingly, the PLO renounces the use of terrorism and other acts of violence and will assume responsibility over all PLO elements and personnel in order to assure their compliance, prevent violations and discipline violators
In view of the promise of a new era and the signing of the Declaration of Principles and based on Palestinian acceptance of Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, the PLO affirms that those articles of the Palestinian Covenant which deny Israel’s right to exist, and the provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid. Consequently, the PLO undertakes to submit to the Palestinian National Council for formal approval the necessary changes in regard to the Palestinian Covenant.

Sincerely,
Yasser Arafat
Chairman
The Palestine Liberation Organization

The hypocrisy of the Yahoo`s reverse flip on recognition is neatly summed up in:

No doubt if the PA had a brainstorm and actually recognized Israel as “a Jewish state” the Yahoo ( faced with another OMG ! they are giving us what we are asking for what do I do next to maintain the no negotiations status quo) would come up with a further not a pre-condition condition for negotiations such as recognition of Israel as a non secular , Jewish Western Democratic , existentially threatened , vulnerable to 2nd Holocaust , non occupying state etc etc ad infinitum.

The good news is that the self hasbarising is becoming more and more desperate and unsustainable and the reality of Israeli Fascism in the Stole Territories is becoming ever more clear to observers in the West and ever more uncomfortable for Western Governments and politicians to ignore.

BTW Speaking of Stolen Territories the IDF appear to have begun implementing a Warsaw method on Ramallah – will be interesting to see how this unfolds:
