Israel puts two ingers up to the US.

“Israel puts two fingers up to the US and bites the hand that feeds it.”
US Middle East envoy George Mitchell failed on Wednesday to wrest a compromise on settlements from Israel's prime minister, but the two men agreed to meet again on Friday for a third attempt in a week.
"The meeting is over ... They agreed to meet again on Friday," a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office told AFP after the meeting in Jerusalem.
Mitchell will also meet for a second time with Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Friday, the latter's office announced.
The former US senator later travelled to Lebanon and met President Michel Sleiman as part of his latest tour of the region.
Mitchell huddled with Netanyahu for several hours, a day after shuttling between the premier and Abbas, urging both sides to show "responsibility for peace" and take steps towards restarting their stalled negotiations.
He aims for some kind of Israeli moratorium on settlement construction that would be acceptable to the Palestinians and enable the resumption of peace talks that were suspended in late December amid the Gaza war.
"We hope to bring this phase of our efforts to a positive conclusion in the coming weeks," he said.
Mitchell has been seeking a compromise that also would pave the way for a three-way meeting between Netanyahu, Abbas and US President Barack Obama at the UN General Assembly later this month.
But he has faced an uphill task.
Netanyahu himself said it was unclear if such an encounter would go ahead. "The three-way meeting has not been set yet. But I'll go anyway and give my speech" at the General Assembly, he told reporters.
The hawkish premier has repeatedly ruled out a complete freeze to Israel's settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, including annexed east Jerusalem -- a move on which the Palestinian insist in order to resume peace talks.
On Monday, Netanyahu repeated he had no intention of implementing a complete freeze, saying any halt would be temporary, would not extend to east Jerusalem, and would exclude some 2,500 units already under construction.
Mitchell said before his latest talks with Netanyahu that the United States shared a "sense of urgency" for peace talks to resume before the end of September.
Standing in the way are Jewish settlements on occupied Palestinian land, home to half a million Israelis. The settlements are viewed as illegal by the international community and represent a key obstacle to reaching a peace deal.
Obama's administration has been working towards a comprehensive peace package that would see Israel strike deals with the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon, and Arab states normalise relations with the Jewish state.
In Lebanon, ahead of stops in Egypt and Jordan on Thursday, Mitchell sought to reassure Sleiman that US efforts toward peace would not come at the expense of Beirut, the president's office said.
Many in Lebanon are concerned that a peace deal could prompt many Palestinian refugees to stay permanently, altering the country's delicate sectarian balance.
Israelis and Palestinians resumed negotiations in November 2007 after a nearly seven-year hiatus. But the talks made little visible progress and were suspended in late December after Israel launched its war in Hamas-run Gaza.
The Israeli army said on Wednesday it has started removing 100 of its roadblocks in the West Bank as part of efforts to improve the economic situation in the Palestinian territory.
Recent UN figures put at more than 600 the number of such obstacles that restrict the movement of Palestinian people and goods in the West Bank.

Isreal does exactly what they want. I know they do not care about anything we ask. Why sould we let them think we would come to their aid if that were nexessary. It is all the location of Isreal as I see it. Also I beleive the jews in America are Isreal first and not really Americans. I know there are other people here that feel this way also. It is just catering to Isreal. If they had to stand alone where would they be. WWII is over now and I do not feel sorry for them any more.
They come from all over the world to Isreal. All different kinds of Jews not just from America. What kind of peoples are they. No cooperation or extending friendship or helping hand.
Since I am not an Arab I get to say what I think as American. I know other people too who feel it is all just Isreal.

I would just like to make it perfectly clear that I do not have any problems with the Jews in America. I just do not like the things that I see the Isrealis do. They overkill as I see it and look for cruel things to do to the Palestinians. Like desecrete their homes during the last conflict. This hurts the women who come back with their families. Beleive me the actions were terrible. These homes were the ones left standing and must have not been firing sites.
As for the holacaust, it really happened. My father and his brothers had to go to war. Lucky none of the five were injured or killed. My father was a fireman on a troop transport, His brother landed in Casablanca on his birthday Christmas Day. He fought North Africa and Italian boot. Got bronze star for bringing ammo up the hill in the dark. Turned down the promotion because he did not really read or write. He saw Mussolini and women hung in Italy. He is 95 now with no children. Another brother was in Germany and eventually came home via Japan. The youngest brother was drafted and still in the states and the brother with two children received draft notice but the war ended before he had to go.
What Ahmediajah says is not true about this Holocaust never happening. If he hates Isrealis and wants them off the face of the Earth why does he try to say the Germans would never do this.
My point is I felt sorry for the jews but that is done now and we go on the best we can. The Isrealis get no respect from me. I have seen enough on the news to make up my own mind about this.
I do not like suicde bombers but I realize this was the Palestinians way to fight sad as it is. And now they have that awful wall.
I am just trying to make my position clear.
