<<Unfortunately, this gives the false impression that the US President could snap his fingers and stop Israel in its tracks, when the reality is that the President has limited power to change policy>>

I agree with you on this point: the President can't just snap his finger and instantly change the course of things or magically make things better. But to say that the President has limited power to change policy? Every president has had a set Foreign Policy agenda or has mapped one as time went on. When they pushed long and hard enough, they saw the fulfilment of their drafted foriegn policy plan of attack and have reached their ultimate goals.

At the same time, I think Mr. Obama is a in tight squeeze, with just 10 months as President and a economy in shambles. He can't just piss off those with the money and he can't shoot himself in the foot politically.

Obama is a smart individual, but when it comes to playing the deadly game of high-stake politics, he's a rookie with no real clue as to how he's going to proceed. Netanyahu on the other hand, knows exactly what he's doing and how he's going to play his cards.

PC: I had no hand in erasing your comments.

If it was erased (since you're saying it was) it was probably super offensive and derogatory in some way and pulled by the administration.

Let's stick to the topic at hand and come to debate.

SoCal is FULL of Arabs!!! Re-connecting with some old friends from High School, I was surprised how many of them were Arabs and I had no clue!

Someone once told me that Southern California (mainly Los Angeles and Orange counties) actually have the highest amounts of Arabs in the U.S. whereas Michigan has the highest concentration of Arabs(two separate things).

It's funny that real Arabs wouldn't be contacted or sought to play themselves, given the demographics you know? Maybe this show and the couple that have preceeded (where Arabs aren't extremists of some sort) will eventually open the doors to such actually taking place.

Looks like they're taking lessons from the Zionists

I heard they also put a siege on spices entering Gaza . . . no Za'atar for some folks and that's the real shame!

Seriously though, what is this "siege" coming to?

May 1993's edition of National Geographic is particularly good at highlighting Water Resources of the Middle East (goes into pretty comprehensive details about the Sea of Galilee, Israeli pools, Palestinian wells and the aquifers in Palestine)

I've been thinking about the next war to errupt in the region. I'm convinced it's going to be a Water War . . . it's going to be to the death :-(

Divide and Conquer . . . worked well for the French and the British, probably why Israel used the strategy when they helped to create Hamas in the late 80's to divide Fatah.

Programmer Craig and his sidekick Eagle-whatever-his-name-is, will probably come out and pull some irrelevant articles and videos with some ignorant (and sometimes stupid) comments about how Hamas is really an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. The informed people of this world however, know the preaching of such notions is the pure distortion of facts and truths that the racist and suppressive Zionist machine tries to disseminate and spread through their wide campaign of ball busting and intimidation.

Thanks for this post 'Tizer. Been a while since we see some actual political analysis "on the ground."

I think you bring up a very valid point Khalid: what's the next step?

For starters, I'm of the opinion that the Palestinians themselves must demand change and accountability from their leaders (Fatah or Hamas). Until the people do that, nothing's gonna happen. They'll remain angry, frustrated, colluding and dealing with the Israelis indirectly. How many Palestinians do you see and hear EN MASSES protesting their leaders and their policies? How many Palestinians did we see demonstrating and protesting Fatah at their recent conference? NONE! At least Israelis get out and speak out against their government and its policies.

If the Palestinians don't do it, other Arabs and the world aren't going to do damn thing! The question I have and maybe you could help me is why the Palestinians don't come out and speak out EN MASSE against Fatah or Hamas? Why don't they march in the streets? F**K self-criticism, taboos and intimidation. Then again, maybe these are what keep them from actually protesting.

Every time I walked by the Watergate, I would always take a moment in front of the Benito Juarez monument to read the words of the plaque which says: "Respect for the Rights of others is Peace." I think everyone, no matter where they're from or what language they speak, can understand the concepts of justice and peace.

Until the criminal Zionists give the Palestinians their full equal rights as full and equal human beings, they will never have peace. One day, I'd like to see the Palestinians get up and say: "We've had enough of this and we're not going to take it anymore!"

But with brown nosers and political prostitutes like Abbas and Fayyad, the cause is effed!
