Iran, Israelis talk about a Palestinian (Police) State As US policy shifts occur, so Harper adjusts Canadian "values". By YayaCanada July 2007 Thanks to Daniele of Montreal for this news item: METimes: Bush's real objective in Palestine "The supposed shift, however, is nothing but a continuation of Washington's efforts to stifle Palestinian democracy, to widen the chasm separating Hamas and Fatah, and to ensure the success of the Israeli project, which is focused on colonizing and annexing what remains of Palestinian land." It seems clear that Olmert, Blair and Abbas are bucking for Nobel peace prizes to compensate for the embarrassing come-downs of all three in the eyes of their own people, but this move, coming at this time, appears to be a paving of the way to an Israeli attack on Iran, and an eventual NATO assisted all-out assault on Hamas in order to regain Israeli control of Gaza. And what makes Tony even more interested in being a part of the process? From Price of Oil:
So, as always, we see that it's about oil, and that control of oil and water has supplanted true Zionist zeal as a primary motivation for perpetuating the myth that Israel is in danger from its neighbours - overlooking of course the fact that Israel itself is the actual nuclear threat to the whole region. The "Price of Oil" prediction was correct - there was trouble ahead. Hamas got in the way. METimes via Tau.ac.il, June 28/07: Negotiations quietly underway for months to agree on commercial arrangements to exploit and market Gaza Marine gas were reportedly progressing slowly toward completion, when Hamas took over the Gaza Strip almost two weeks ago. Remember the Gaza beach massacre? Still think it didn't happen? Can you now think of a reason why it might have happened? Does it seem reasonable to conclude that someone wanted the shoreline free of eyes and ears? Israeli Vice Prime Minister Haim Ramon, thinking he is generous and sane, "said he supports an Israeli withdrawal from most of the West Bank, except for large settlement blocs, and he suggested that NATO troops could be exchanged for Israeli forces when they withdraw". (CNSNews) Meanwhile, in the same CNSNews article, come the rumblings from Israeli extremists including the 500 members of Professors for a Strong Israel (PSI) who are being fully supported in the name of academic freedom (Countercurrents.org) by the heads of major universities in Canada and elsewhere in their anxiety to be on the side of perceived power and money. PSI spokesman Ron Breiman "charged that Olmert does not really work for Israel any more but for Abbas because he spends his time making gestures to the P.A. He cannot lay any blame on President Bush or Secretary of State Rice, he said, because they cannot be expected to be "more Zionist" than the Israeli leaders." So although the Israeli professors have patently revealed why an academic boycott is a rational approach, they are probably worried unnecessarily about all this talk of statehood for Palestinians. The bulk (meaning virtually all) of the Israeli settlers will remain in the West Bank while Gazans, and perhaps even Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem, will be forced to flee into what little is left of the West Bank, or elsewhere, to escape inevitable attempts regain control under the guise of routing out "terrorists" - all in the name of peace in the "holy land". In other words, if there is any state at all for Palestinians, it will be a police state. Israel will say it tried to do the right thing, but the Palestinians just would not behave. Keep in mind that NATO is no longer seen as a peacekeeping entity after its combat activities in Afghanistan. And there will be no end of support for a final "holy land" battle from American evangelicals who believe Israel must be in firm control before Jesus can return. Does our purported Bible-believing Prime Minister fancy our soldiers finding their true glory in the "promised land" while at the same time aiding his big oil and water-sucking buddies? Is this why there is a big push to Christianize our military (MCF-Canada), the better to steer them further into what he says is the "highest calling"? (Killing on School Curricula) Canada's participation in policing the Palestinians would help leave Israel free to move on to attacking Iran. In fact, Israel's foremost fanatic, Avigdor Lieberman said on July 11 of this year that there is international agreement that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are currently preventing an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. (See full text below) Is that why Harper is now hinting at an end date to the Afghan "mission"? As US policy shifts occur, so Harper adjusts Canadian "values". In case you still doubt the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran - let's allow Lieberman the last word - as reported in Israel Today - with particular attention to the final paragraph (underlined by me):

The Myth Of The Palestinian Suicide Bomber So, if both the leader of Fatah and the spokesman for Islamic Jihad, the militant wing of Fatah that is alleged to have carried out the attack, both say that they either knew nothing about the attack or are utterly against such attacks, who in the hell is carrying them out?
