President Bill Clinton who was involved in decade long rounds of so called "peace negotiations" between Israelis and Palestinains has made a stinging attack on Netanyahu. His rebuke of Israeli leader comes on the eve of Palestinians taking a historic step at UN today by asking for full Statehood, a step that could accelerate slow and well deserved death of religious racism and extremism that has caused US economy in 10s of trillions of dollars already.


Bill Clinton: Netanyahu killed the peace process


By Josh Rogin Thursday, September 22, 2011

Who's to blame for the continued failure of the Middle East peace process? Former President Bill Clinton said today that it is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- whose government moved the goalposts upon taking power, and whose rise represents a key reason there has been no Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

Clinton, in a roundtable with bloggers today on the sidelines of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, gave an extensive recounting of the deterioration in the Middle East peace process since he pressed both parties to agree to a final settlement at Camp David in 2000. He said there are two main reasons for the lack of a comprehensive peace today: the reluctance of the Netanyahu administration to accept the terms of the Camp David deal and a demographic shift in Israel that is making the Israeli public less amenable to peace.

"The two great tragedies in modern Middle Eastern politics, which make you wonder if God wants Middle East peace or not, were [Yitzhak] Rabin's assassination and [Ariel] Sharon's stroke," Clinton said.

US has bombed Iraq but has never directly bombed Palestinians or Israelis I think ( there were Pentagon plans in place to bomb Israel in 1967 before or after USS Liberty bombing by Israel but never were acted upon). But Israeli bombing of Palestinians is funded by US.

I cannot explain our foreign policy situation as well as this man does.

Colbert had someone from J Street on his show the other night. It's interesting that after so many years of hard-core Likud rhetoric being the only politically correct speech allowed within the United States (at least in the mainstream), that a more moderate position is starting to leak out. Change in the air?

Netanyahu is as much responsible as the Military Industrial Complex for our total bankruptcy.
He is a parasite sucking life and money out of us and our brothers, fathers, uncles, and sons.

Of course. Now that he doesn't have to appease AIPAC, Clinton can actually say what's on his mind now.
