USA/AIPAC: Even-handedness not a word in the Jewish vocabulary.

Blogger's comment

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, the word "even-handed" means "fair", "impartial". Hence according to the article shown below, the Jews blatantly want Obama to handle the Israeli-Palestinian Case with "partiality" and "unfairness" in favor of Israel.

I just cannot believe it. Is this article published on "Haaretz" and admission of Jewish guilt?! Is it the old game being played again and over again?!; pretense and problem creation, and then solution-offer that will definitely be followed by gains reaped by the offerer who is in fact the creator of the problem.

Am I to believe that Obama was fair and impartial in his speech as far as the Palestinians are involved? Do Palestinians have to believe in Obama's alleged fairness, impartiality and even-handedness?! No way in hell.

AIPAC chief: Obama should not

be even-handed toward Israel and Palestinians

Day after U.S. president clarifies vision of Palestinian state within 1967 borders, director of pro-Israel lobby urges Jerusalem and Washington to avoid any public display of diplomatic crisis, as it would likely be exploited by Israel's enemies.

AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr said Monday that U.S. President Barack Obama should not take an even-handed approach to the Middle East conflict, as it puts Israel at a disadvantage.

“Part of being an honest broker is being honest," Kohr said in an address to AIPAC, a day after Obama spoke to the pro-Israel lobby and clarified his remarks regarding his vision for a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, adding "that honesty "should not be confused with even-handedness".

"In a world which is demonstrably on the side of the Palestinians and Arabs - where Israel stands virtually alone - the United States has a special role to play," said the AIPAC director. "When the United States is even-handed, Israel is automatically at a disadvantage, tilting the diplomatic playing field overwhelmingly toward the Palestinians and Arabs."

The AIPAC leader also said that no settlement imposed on the Palestinians or on Israel could succeed. “When neither party owns the plan or has responsibility to accept it, that plan is doomed to fail," he added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bluntly rejected Obama's declared support Thursday for the creation of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, in what appeared to open a deep divide between the United States and Israel.

On Monday, Kohr urged Jerusalem and Washington to work out their differences privately, warning that any public display of a diplomatic crisis would serve as fodder for Israel's enemies.

“If Israel's foes come to believe that there is diplomatic daylight between the United States and Israel, they will have every incentive to try to exploit those differences and shun peace with the Jewish state," warned the AIPAC director.

He also said that Netanyahu was "ready and willing" to negotiate for peace with the Palestinians, but that it was up to the other side to make a positive step forward.

“There is still time for a Palestinian leader to be bold and creative: to turn back from the current dead end; to reject Hamas; to reject the international path; to reject the road to unilateral recognition at the United Nations and instead to embrace the chance to sit down with Israel to negotiate a real peace," said Kohr.

"To say to those who profess to stand for peace: There can be no end to strife for the Palestinian people unless their leaders pursue a partnership in peace with Israel," he added.

WOW! I am totally impressed. Regardless of Obama's partiality toward Israel which was so obvious in his speech, Israel wants him to be more partial toward her. They are kicking the ball back into the Palestinian ground. Thus the Palestinians will look in the global eye as if they are the ones who are not willing to negotiate or are interested in peace. Welcome to the "white" house of head-games where the scales of the balance are never even.

Impartial, Fair scales
