'SOVEREIGN, CONTIGUOUS PALESTINIAN STATE'What a "contiguous Palestinian state" means

Why is the US backing a contiguous "Palestine" - at the expense of adiscontiguous, and thus indefensible, Israel? With "disengagement," this is a surefire plan to allow the Muslims to destroy Israel. Why is the US backing it? Please write to your representatives in Congress and encourage them to support Israel.

Medically proved scientific strategies teach us that treating any disease has to start first with an accurate diagnosis in accordance with recognizing a set of signs and symptoms. Once the diagnosis and the cause or causes are pinpointed and identified, the treatment is initiated through which the main cause of the disease is targeted. Meanwhile, treating only the diseases' signs and symptoms without identifying and treating the primary cause is a waste of time, effort and resources. Such a derailed strategy leads to the disease becoming worse and putting the patient’s life at dire risk.
Based on this scientific strategy and concept one can examine Lebanon's ongoing problems. Since the early seventies Lebanon's main and disastrous problem has been the confiscation of its independent, freedom, and sovereignty as a state. Sadly, the Arab states and Iran have turned this multicultural, democratic and deeply rooted country into an arena, a mail box and a battlefield for their deceit and a windmill of wars against the State of Israel.
The Arab regimes without any exception and the Iranian mullahs were able to achieve this evil ploy and turn Lebanon an into arena and a backyard for their fake wars and schemes because certain Lebanese communities have never recognized Lebanon since 1920 as an independent entity, and, accordingly, became Trojan horses for foreign and neighboring powers: the Egyptians, Syrians, Iranians, Libyans, Islamic terrorists, fundamentalists, etc.
To secure stability in their countries, safeguard their thrones, wealth and ruling power, and to conceal their corrupt nature and practices, these dictatorships, Stone Age and oppressive regimes aimed on destabilizing Lebanon through religious strife, bribery, fraud, terrorism, murder, assassinations, ministates, militias and division.
Sadly, these regimes with the help of Lebanese Trojans, fundamentalists, opportunists and mercenaries were able to dismantle the foundations of the Lebanese state and to turn the whole country into an arena for their destructive ploys. They used the Lebanese people as fuel in their camouflaging war against Israel under fake banners of resistance (Mukawama), obstruction (mumanaa) liberation, Arabism and fundamentalism; while in reality the majority of them have either officially signed peace accords with Israel or covertly have established very close and friendly relations with her government.
An independent Lebanon with democracy, freedom, openness, equality, respect of human rand a just judiciary is the worst enemy for all Arab regimes as for Iran because such a Lebanon exposes their oppressive and dictatorial regimes. They all continue hindering Lebanon from regaining its independence, unity and stability so they can keep on forcing their own people into intolerance, fanaticism, ignorance, illiteracy, rejection of others and fundamentalism.
The Syrian totalitarian Baathist regime is the most notorious in all schemes of deception, oppression, fundamentalism, ethnic cleansing, crime, assassinations, hatching and exporting terrorism, and in all matters of malicious interference in other countries' internal affairs. This regime has managed to remain in power since the early sixties because of the no peace, no war status in the Middle East that its rulers adopt, advocate and implement.
Under the camouflage of resisting Israel, the Syrian regime oppresses, impoverishes, humiliates, persecutes and kills its own people, while at the same time keeps on destabilizing neighboring Lebanon through all means, including murder, sectarian strife, fake resistance against Israel, terrorism and bloody abuse and manipulation of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian refugees in both Lebanon and Syria..
In this devilish context, the Syrian regime derives its life elixir from the false and deceptive support it allegedly provides to the Palestinian cause, while for the last 40 years has been aborting all peace initiatives between Israel and the Arab countries under the big lie of resistance. Peace with Israel is the number one enemy for the Syrian regime because once it happens, all its lies and deception will be unveiled and the Syrian people would revolt and eliminate it. The kind of brutality and massive slaughter that this regime has been using against the Syrian peoples' uprising for the last three months explains its evil and deceptive nature and mentality.
Last Sunday, on the Palestinian Nakba Day, (anniversary of Israel’s founding in 1948), the Syrian rulers with their vicious Iranian allies instigated and orchestrated bloody confrontations on both Syrian and Lebanese borders with Israel. The victims and fuel for these futile confrontations were sadly the Palestinian refugees who by thousands were bused by Syrian and Iranian means of transportation, full supervision, facilitations and financing to Majdal Shams on the Golan Heights and the Maroun al-Rass in south Lebanon. The demonstrations ended with more than 13 Palestinians killed and hundreds injured when the Palestinian demonstrators tried to cross the border fences to attack the Israeli army.
According to a report published by Ken Timmerman on May 17, "The Iranian regime called the political leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah to Tehran last month, to work out the details of an unprecedented series of protests they wanted them to launch along Israel’s border on the anniversary of Israel’s founding in 1948, according to Iranian dissidents. The meetings were an overwhelming success. Thousands of Palestinians participated in organized protests, storming across mine fields and border fences into Israel from the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, and Syria."
Based on all of the above, we strongly believe that Lebanon will not know peace or stability before its borders with Syria are fully controlled, and not before forging a peace accord with Israel as Egypt and Jordan did years ago, and as is the case with most of the Arab countries which overtly or covertly has ended the war status with the Jewish state.
In conclusion, the Lebanese people and their leaders need to pinpoint the main problem of their country and accordingly look for an everlasting and curative solution. Lebanon's main problem lies in the "arena, battlefield and mailbox" status that has been forced on the country by Iran, Syria and their militant proxies and outlawed Syrian Iranian and Palestinian ministates. To finally put an end to this bizarre status, Lebanon needs to immediately close this "arena", end the war status, sign a peace accord with Israel, and then work hard to regain its independence, free decision making process, and sovereignty. All ministates erected in Lebanon by Syria, Iran, and the Palestinians must be dismantled and all militias disarmed. All other temporary endeavors that address only the symptoms of the problem and not the main cause will make things worse.

BETRAYAL AND ABANDONMENT OF ISRAEL
"It is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949, and all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion. It is realistic to expect that any final status agreement will only be achieved on the basis of mutually agreed changes that reflect these realities."
WASHINGTON, DC -- Having vanquished his chief competitor for leadership of the so-called Muslim world, America's professor-preacher-president today addressed the Middle East. His long and lofty speech, replete with alarming moral equivalencies, essentially committed an economically and emotionally bankrupt nation (a) to financing permanent revolutionary change across a war-maddened region, (b) to pressuring overseas friends into committing political suicide, and (c) to squeezing America's ally and the region's only real democracy, Israel, into withdrawing behind indefensible borders in order to make possible the establishment of a "contiguous," "viable," "non-militarized" Palestinian Arab state--an irredentist entity certain to be ruled by Islamists (whom the President and his advisors and a fawning media stand ready to brand as "moderate").
Nearly a century ago, another professor-president--Woodrow Wilson--tried to apply his visionary ideals to an angry world. He, too, made speech after speech during a serious recession; he, too, seemed to think that he could change the world by talking about it. Wilson led the United States into the First World War. God only knows into what conflict Obama's at best misguided policies will plunge America.
POSTSCRIPT: Obama's devotion to "ordinary" Middle Easterners contrasts sharply with his disdain for ordinary Americans. Sooner or later, the turmoil that he has helped to unleash by emboldening the Muslim Brotherhood will reach Saudi Arabia (conveniently not referenced in his speech). The unnecessary intervention in Libya--on the side of Islamist-linked rebels--roiled the oil markets. Chaos in Saudi Arabia will send the price of oil soaring to horrible heights, obliterating any chance of economic recovery, crushing ordinary Americans. But higher oil is just what Obama has ordered; he and his advisors believe that the already-too-high price of the energy resource on which the world runs and will continue to run for at least the next two decades must go even higher in order to justify government subsidies and mandates for such inefficient and non-existent alternatives as geographically limited, non-job creating wind and solar power, genocidal ethanol (which pushed up food prices around the world, threatening millions of ordinarypeople with hunger and starvation) and always-around-the-corner cellulosic ethanol.
Perfidy!
CNN, America's anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Islamist cable TV news network, led up to President Barack Obama's speech on the Middle East at the State Department with an Israel-bashing talk fest--anchors and so-called analysts essentially blaming Israel and American Jewish support for Israel (the code term was "domestic politics") for continued Muslim/Arab hatred of and terrorism towards America (and Christians and all non-Muslims unfortunate enough to find themselves surrounded by Islamic barbarism and backwardness).
