WE WERE SCREWED~REFUND PLEASE?

I wish some enterprising Democrat who voted for the Bush incarnate, would put up a site encouraging all those who donated money to his campaign and voted for "change", to petition the DNC and ask for their money back, as they have been lied to.

Just what are they teaching at Harvard Law these days one wonders? Respect for International Law? Respect for the Geneva Convention? It took Obama two days to come out in support of his master, Israel, in order to condemn the the use of International Law and the Geneva Convention with regards to the War Crimes report by Goldstone and his UN team. And this from a man who studied at Harvard Law? How's that for change you can believe in? Feeling used yet? No? Well, we aim to please so perhaps you should be aware of this report out today in which America's masters are now asking for more help to circumvent and destroy the Geneva Convention and International Law. See here:

Israel on Wednesday asked a number of senior members of the Obama administration to assist in curbing the international fallout from the Goldstone Commission report released this week, which accuses Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.

The Foreign Ministry decided Wednesday to focus their efforts to combat the report's accusations on the United States, Russia and a few other members of the United Nations Security Council and the Human Rights Council that are involved in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I need to point out to people that Obama just made a dirty deal with Russia on the Missile System, this is Putin's pay off for his vote on the Security Council mentioned above and also on any votes regarding Iran. So, how's that for Change you can believe in? And you actually thought Bush left the Whitehouse? Silly you, Oh but there is more:

The Israeli message is that the Goldstone report threatens those countries because it makes the war on terror very difficult,

Sounds like Bush in his so called "War on Terror." An attempt to make people support Israel going outside the realms of International law and the Geneva convention, in other words, it's like the CIA and torture, we can do what we want, we act with impunity and you will support us. Wait, that sounds familiar? We've heard this before, why just yesterday in fact:

Seven former directors of the Central Intelligence Agency asked President Obama on Friday to shut down the new Justice Department inquiry into past abuses during interrogations of terrorism suspects, arguing that it “will seriously damage” the nation’s ability to protect itself. link

Now any American who voted for Obama on his promise to close Guantanamo Bay, reign in the rogue out of control CIA, end the Bush/Cheney oil wars and extend a hand of friendship to the world by using diplomacy, has got to be able to see through this Obama charade by now. But Israel wants even more from their slave Obama:

and therefore efforts must be made to prevent it (Goldstone Report) from being brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague. source

It is no longer enough for slave Obama to speak out in support of his masters, he now must use all of Americas powers in an illegal way, by doing dirty deals with Russia for votes in the Security Council against Iran and other nefarious situations that help Israel subvert International Law and the Geneva Convention. So effectively the Geneva Convention and International Law will mean nothing from that day forward. I sincerely hope that the US has no problems with other countries who may wish to follow Israel's lead by also choosing to ignore the Law and the Convention. It must be the Law for all, or the Law for none.

US to Israel~"This is How it Is"

More from today's UN meeting called by Russia. Looks like it was a real "Israel Bashing party" about time! In addition to Ban Ki Moon telling it like it is finally, the US tells Israel there will be "no delay" in creating Middle East Peace and Two State Solution.

US determined not to "tarry" in Mideast peace search
48 minutes ago

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The Obama administration is determined to avoid delay in pursuing its goal of a two-state solution in the Middle East, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said Monday.

Rice, speaking at a Security Council meeting aimed at reviving peace talks, repeated calls by President Barack Obama's administration for a Palestinian state, an end to militant violence and a halt to Israeli settlements.

Israel's new right-leaning government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been invited for talks in Washington this month, has so far refused to publicly endorse the creation of a Palestinian state.

"Our interest lies not in a lengthy drawn-out process but in real results. We must not tarry," Rice told the ministerial session called by Russia in its capacity as chair of the 15-member body this month.

"This meeting of the council underscores the priority the international community places on a secure, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East," the US ambassador said.

"That must include a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security," Rice said.

She added that Washington, under Obama, has already "revitalized" its efforts for a comprehensive peace between Israel and all its Arab neighbors, not just the Palestinians but also the Lebanese and Syrians.

Rice said the administration -- which last week called for the Arabs to begin making "meaningful gestures" toward ending Israel's isolation -- "intend to integrate the Arab peace initiative into our own approach."

The 2002 initiative calls for Israel to withdraw from all Arab lands occupied in 1967 in exchange for normalization of ties.

She added the Obama administration totally opposes rocket fire and terrorism against Israelis as well as a future without hope for the Palestinians. Both are "intolerable," Rice said.

"For its part, Israel must halt settlement activity and dismantle outposts erected since March 2001," she said.

"We (also) strongly support reopening Gaza's border crossing in a controlled, sustained and continuous manner with an appropriate monitoring regime," Rice said.

Such a regime, she added, would involve both participation by the international community and the Palestinian Authority, which has controlled only the West Bank since it was ousted from the Gaza Strip by Hamas militants in June 2007.

Rice spoke before the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a non-binding Russian-sponsored statement reaffirming its commitment to a "just and lasting peace" in the Middle East based on a "two-state solution." link

Moon Shines at UN

Someone put lead in Ban Ki Moon's pencil, today he blasted Israel, about time. Of course, we can thank Russia for calling the meeting. Chip, Chip, Chipping away at Israel. And Richard Goldstone and he crew arriving in Gaza soon for their fact finding mission. They shouldn't have trouble finding facts, there are facts all over the place. Bombed hospitals, UN facilities, school,s refugee camps, hundreds of dead children and women. Like I said, plenty of facts to charge Israel with war crimes.

UN urges Israel to change settlement policies

UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The UN Security Council on Monday kicked off a debate on how to revive the stalled Middle East peace process, with a call on Israel to change its policy of building settlements in the Palestinian territories.

"The time has come for Israel to fundamentally change its policies in this regard as it has repeatedly promised to do," UN chief Ban Ki-moon told the ministerial session called by Russia in its capacity as chair of the 15-member body this month.

Ban said the Palestinians "continue to see unacceptable unilateral actions in East Jerusalem and the remainder of the West Bank -- house demolitions, intensified settlement activity, settler violence, and oppressive movement restrictions due to permits, checkpoints, and the barrier, which are intimately connected to settlements."

The UN boss also slammed Israel's "continued closure" of the Gaza Strip, saying it "does not weaken Israel's adversaries in Gaza, but does untold damage to the fabric of civilian life."

He noted that four months after Israel's punishing offensive in Gaza to stop rocket attacks on its territory, "we cannot get anything beyond food and medicine into Gaza to assist a population that had been in the midst of a war zone. This is completely unacceptable." source

Russia Gets it Right

Russia gets it 100% correct on dealing with Iran. Clinton gets pwnd by Larov in Russia, Good for Russia for not being pressured!

Russia has been at loggerheads with the US regarding Washington's threat of imposing further unilateral sanctions on Iran over its nuclear dossier.

The two sides stressed the need to work harder together in collaboration with others in the field of nuclear non-proliferation (Good luck with getting Israel on board, they love their nukes and dream of using them to wipe out all Arabs)

But Russia did not back up one-sided US harsher punitive actions against Iran.

"There are collective decisions adopted in the United Nations Security Council, and those oblige all countries in the world to behave in a particular way and to fulfill certain requirements. But there are also unilateral sanctions that the United States or the European Union has imposed in addition to the UNSC with regard to Iran…We keep telling our partners that unilateral sanctions are not in line with our collective actions," Lavrov told reporters when asked about Clinton's recent remarks on Iran.

Clinton had told US lawmakers in late April that the US was 'willing' to engage diplomatically with Iran but at the same time threatened Tehran with 'very tough, crippling sanctions' if the US failed to obtain its desired results.

CLINTON: "We are in the process of laying the groundwork for making the case for tougher sanctions. We have not laid the groundwork. And I think that the case that we're making to our partners in the P-5+1 is to reach out to Iran…But we are very watchful as to how Iran responds," Clinton told reporters. (that is a threat, it is not reaching out to Iran, and threats make people go hardline. When will the US learn this)

Lavrov however said that Russia saw no "sense" in any harsh sanctions against Iran but instead sought to return Iran to the negotiating table. "But as far as pressure is concerned, if we understand by pressure, the efforts aimed at convincing Iran to return to the negotiations table - we are applying such efforts in an active and robust manner."

Russia along with other four permanent members of the UN Security Council- -US, UK, France and China- - plus Germany are discussing Iran's long disputed nuclear issue.

While the UNSC, under US pressure, has adopted three rounds of sanctions against Iran over its uranium enrichment work, Moscow disagrees to pile up pressure on Tehran and rejects any 'violent solution' to the issue. Russia says diplomacy could best solve the matter.

Despite promising a new beginning with Iran, the new US administration has apparently followed in Bush's footsteps. The Obama administration earlier extended Clinton-era sanctions in 1995. It also imposed sanctions on six Iranian firms over alleged links to Tehran's missile and nuclear work last month.

Amid efforts to solve Tehran's nuclear issue,Iran says it is open to the negotiations without any precondition which would undermine its right to use peaceful nuclear technology as a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). (A treaty that Israel will not sign up to BTW!!) source

Israel NOT Invited to Peace Conference

A Palestinian negotiator on Tuesday said Israel can not be invited to an international peace conference planned to take place in the near future in Moscow.

"Some players like Israel can not be invited to Moscow conference because it denies all the political references and wants to continue building settlements," said Yasser Abed Rabbo, amember of the Palestinian negotiation team.

The PNA mainly blames the continuation of settlement activities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem for the stillness of the negotiations. The two territories would form most of the future statehood.

The prospect of the peace talks waned after a new rightist Israeli government took office with its firebrand Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman focuses on making peace with the moderate Arab countries rather than the Palestinians.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who is on a visit to Russia, was told that Moscow was looking at the possibility of combining the Middle East conference with U.S. President Barack Obama's visit in July. source
