Israel talking about peace while demolition Palestinian homes.

PM Erdogan said he had negotiated peace with Hamas yet Israel embarrassed him and launched operation Cast Lead resulting in the death and incapacitation of 4,000 Palestinians.

Israel cannot be reconciled with the Mafia regime of Assad. Syria will wait till the moment that it sees chances of defeating Israel. Syria cannot efford good relations with Israel. The Assad family has established a hereditary dynasty shored up by repression within, and confrontation and terror abroad. The rule of the Assads is not aimed at improving the lot of their people or forwarding a particular ideology. They changed ideology from secular Arabism to a seemingly impossible confection of pan-Arabism and Islamist extremism because it was expedient to do so. Hafez Assad came to power following a dizzying succession of coups that had made Syria the most unstable regime in the Middle East. The Assads are seated atop a bucking bronco. They are members of the Allawi religious minority who are usually not even considered to be Muslims. They rule a country of disparate minorities with a potential for chaos almost as great as that of Iraq. The radical Muslim Brotherhood is always there, threatening to take over the country by fair means or foul, and the usual Ba’th party rivalries that have plagued all such regimes are also a threat to Assad family rule. Their rule is not about improving living standards for Syria. Syrian living standards have fallen behind the none-too-glamorous ones of Jordan or Egypt. It is not about democracy, a Western luxury Syria can’t afford, according to Bashar Assad. The Assad regime is about stability, and it is about money and power for the Assad family. The regime is comparable in every way to the fictional Corleone Mafia family. Prosperity and peace would ruin the Assad regime. Therefore, Western assumptions that Syrian leadership must want peace and prosperity are mistaken, and it is pointless to “engage” Syria in dialogue except insofar as it is possible to confront them with their violations and insist that they mend their ways as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjcsd

Peres for the real diplomatic jobs and Lieberman for tasks without content. About time we had one decent Foreign Minister to represent us all the time.

...is between tiny Israel, Biblical David if you will, vs. the Muslim-Arab world, or Biblical Goliath if you will. Yes, there is a local component to the conflict, dubbed "Israeli Palestinian conflict", but this component has always, always been of trivial dimension and nature by comparison to the conflict between Israel and the Muslim-Arab world. In 1948 a large coalition of Muslim- Arab states set out to annihilate Israel by initiating a war of extermination the day after Israel, legally, came into being. In 1967 a coalition of Muslim-Arab countries set out to wipe Israel off the face of earth, attempting to accomplish that which they had not been able to do 19 years eartlier. In 1973 a coalition of Muslim-Arab states initiated yet another all out war against the nation-state of the Jewish people, eager to restore their "honor", having been defeated in the two previous all out wars, and were defeater in 1973 again. Now, a coalition of Iran-Hizballah-IslamicJihad-Hamas-Syria is gearing up and preparing itself for yet another venture to erase Israel and with it every trace of Jewish life and civilization from the Land that is the cradle of this people and its civilization for nearly 4,000 years; this time through the possible use of nuclear weapons, strategic and/or tactical. The misery brought upon the local Muslim-Arab community has been the direct work of its regional leadership, including the League of Arab States that has been behind all the wars against Israel. Thus, let us keep things in perspective next time we think about and discuss the Arab Israeli conflict, shall we?
