US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Monday to take part in a high-level peace conference.
US Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on Monday to take part in a high-level peace conference.

Mr Biden will visit Israel and the Palestinian territories to help restart the stalled peace negotiations.

He is also scheduled to meet with Tony Blair, the envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East, and will travel to Amman to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah.

With Washington stepping up efforts to get the Israeli-Palestinian peace process revived, special Middle East envoy George Mitchell has already been in Israel since Saturday.

Mitchell has said he is hoping for a constructive process that will accomplish comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

That process has already begun with a Sunday meeting between all representatives resulting in the Palestinians agreeing to begin indirect negotiations with Israel.

Israel also approved holding indirect talks.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was good to see negotiations getting under way, even in an indirect way, as it could lead to more substantive direct negotiations.

The US push for a restart of the talks became more urgent last week when there was a flare-up of violence caused when Israeli security forces clashed with Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem and the West Bank city of Hebron.

The violence was brought on by Israel's recent decision to include two West Bank sites, holy to both Jews and Muslims, on the Israeli list of national heritage sites, meaning that Jewish settlements in the area could be protected.

Palestinian officials have said the success of the talks will depend on whether Israel will stop its settlement expansion, which is one of its long-held policies.

A Zionisy Ploy

With Tony Blair in with the negotiations it bodes bad for Palestinians as he is a total Israelite supporter and should not be allowed in the talks. This is just a ploy to fool world public opinion. This ultra right wing Israel Zionist leader has no intention of stopping the building of homes on Palestinian territory. Joe Biden will not be any help at all and might as well jump on the first plane back to Washington. Get all the countries in the UN to put the utmost pressure on The zionist leadership or else face sanctions.

You are right Sir Ron but there are people who are concerned about the plight of the Palestinians like I have for the last 50 or so years. We can only write letters or blog now and again with the hope that at the end of the tunnel someone will listen but it won’t be my ex prime minister Tony Blair. I will repeat that the UN should be the body that wakes up the Zionist leadership in Israel. Netanyahu has no intention of giving anything away without pressure piled on him and his Zionist thugs This is the only body that can do something. But there again the friends of Israel in Washington would surely veto any action against there friends in Telaviv

peace

The striking irony is that the victims of the Jewish holocaust during the World War II are now the perpetrators of the the neo - holocaust against the innocent Palestinan people who had nothing to do with the original crime. Naturally this is happening with the full support of the US to the Jewish state at the expense of poor Palestinians for more than 60 years now. Israel is nothing but another former South Afrcia.Palestinians,being moslems or Christians, are treated like subhumans. Their houses are being demolished,their children are being jailed or killed on daily basis,their little farms are being bulldozed.Any Jew from all over the world is entitled for Israeli citizenship upon his arrival at Ben Gorion Airport, while the orginal land owners are not permitted even to visit the houses they were kicked from in Israel.The whole world should be ashamed of tolerating such an apartheid regime to cintinue in the 21st century. Israel as a pure Jewish state should not be permitted to continue anymore. Israel does have the right to exist but within its legal borders under UN resolution 181 and as a secular state for all its citizens regardless of their religion.Palestinian refugees must be given the right to return to their stolen homes and belongings in Israel.The only solution for this chronic Dlemma is establishing one secular state on all the land of Historical Palestine for Jews,Moslems and Christians with equal rights and responsibilities and without any kind of descrimination.

One secular country for all

Israel never wanted peace with the Palestinians.They just want to keep killing more and more Palestinians everday hoping that desperate Palestinians will eventually leave the country and take refuge somewhere else.This is not going to happen regardless of this ruthless and systematic genocide. Palestinians have stood against all European Invaders during the Crusades in the 12th. centry while the Zionist neo invaders were hiding in Europe making business and hoarding money. Throughout all their history,Palestinians never gave in to foreign invaders.The only solution for this chronic dilemma is establishing one secular country on all the land of Historical Palestine for Jews,Moslems and Christians with equal rights and responsibilities and without any kind of descrimination.

The Palestinians would have it no other way then what they have now,they are more interested in war and destruction,it is their only motivation.I feel sorry for them but on the other hand,they make it the way it is.

Biden arrives in Hymiland:

Interesting huh? The US asks the Jewish parasites to freeze settlements and are met with stiff middle fingers. The Jews then 'order' Obama to get on Iran and maybe attack it as Jewish blood is too precious to waste.

Yassar, the frikken Jews do own AmeriKKKa as Ariel Sharon once bragged.

Start from the beginning, the core

To come to any peaceful resolution in the middle east, one must go back to the original mindset of Israel. That is, Israel thinks they are the chosen of God and that God has made certain promises; that Palistine is"the promised land to them, nations that agree with them are “blessed," those who don’t will be destroyed.(Deut. 6-7, and other references) further, that going this route will bring on Armegeddon(Revelation) and the end of the world. If you think this is crazy, google Michele Bachmann.
Just how does the “Quartet” deal with that? The U.N. needs to be the ultimate one to decide: ! Should there be one state or two. 2.If one, which would be the best way to go, How should this one state be governed. This would mean that Muslim, Jews, Chritians would learn to live in harmony, with decrimination coming to an end. Each of the “big three” have one thing in common, and that would be a start; They all believe in ONE God.Let’s emphasize that.
This issue of the land has gone on way to long. This is one planet, and all its people should better well learn to work together for the globes common good or it will be destroyed by our own doing. It can be resolved, but the U.S. must quit taking sides.
