Israel, Holocaust , Palestinian Authority

Obama says he will not meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in March because his trip to Washington comes too close to Israel's upcoming elections.

"I'm declining to meet with him simply because our general policy is, we don't meet with any world leader two weeks before their election,"

Israel takes a unique and strange place in history. Boehner invites an American Ally to speak to Congress, and my facebook page lights up with calls of treason. There is no other nation on the planet that could cause such a rise.

Arabs comprise 20% of Israeli society. They have equal rights, the vote, are treated (often for free) in hospitals, and attend schools and Universities. In the Palestinian Authority controlled towns in the West Bank, there is indeed apartheid. Jews are not allowed or safe. Jews can't use transportation, won't be treated in hospitals etc. There are billboards exhorting people to run over Jews with their cars. Somewhere there is a cognitive disconnect. Too many American liberals believe the Jew hating lies, and ignore the Arab campaign to wipe Israel off the map.

Are there problems in the West Bank and Gaza? You bet there are. Egypt and Jordan made peace with Israel with the proviso that they keep the Palestinian Arabs out of Egypt and Jordan. This was done to hurt the Arabs and Israel, both. Egypt and Jordan both have majority populations related to the Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank. Both are governed by minorities. The PLO was formed by Arafat to fight King Hussein in Jordan. Hussein killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs. The Arabs made this problem happen and need to be involved in a solution to it. Land for peace is a ruse. The Palestinian Authority was offered 93% of the land they demand, and refused to take the deal. What they really want is all the land. Why is Israel so profoundly misunderstood?
