Mofaz: Give the Palestinians 100% of Yesha
Opposition leader Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) told the The New York Times that he would “respond to 100% of the territorial demands of the Palestinians” if elected Prime Minister.
“I intend to replace Netanyahu,” Mr. Mofaz, 63, said. “I will not join his government.”
Mofaz said that he believed Israel should keep the main settlement blocs, but that he would give the Palestinian Authority as much land from sovereign Israeli ground as he kept from Judea and Samaria.
He added that he believes it is possible to reach an agreement on the borders and security within one year.
When asked about Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria living in communities he would cede to the Palestinian Authority, Mofaz said, “If they’re given the right incentives they will leave their homes. Those who do not, we would have to evacuate .”
“This is a wildly radical program that undermines our security and will lead the State of Israel...
J&S and Jordan: Human Rights Groups, U.S., Europe Support the Unacceptable Yet Again
This is how Arab despots fight those who dare to criticize them or demand democracy or freedom of expression. One of those arrested by Palestinian policemen – trained and funded by Americans and Europeans – Ismat Abdel Khalek, university lecturer, single mother of two, and in deteriorating health, is awaiting trial in solitary confinement. International human rights have refused to endorse her case out of fear of alienating the Palestinians leadership in the West Bank.
Both Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah have been clamping down on anyone suspected of daring to criticize His Excellency The President, or His Majesty The King — or any Arab dictator – by making it a crime to “extend the tongue.”
In Jordan, two young men were recently sentenced to prison for “extending their tongues” against King Abdullah; six other Jordanians are awaiting trial on the...

Leo Rennert, AMERICAN THINKER
There it is above the fold on the front page of the Sunday, April 8, New York Times, a tale of a long friendship between GOP presidential aspirant Mitt Romney and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with insinuations aplenty that it could become an unprecedented and worrisome Israeli influence conduit reaching directly into the Oval Office. (“A Friendship Dating to 1976 Resonates in 2012 – Shared Experiences Connect Romney and Netanyahu”).
The story, by Michael Barbaro, begins in 1976 when the Boston Consulting Group hired both men as corporate advisers — the seed of a lasting, personal friendship. So far, it seems an innocent enough happenstance, but Barbaro is quick to cast it in dark hues, with innuendoes, inferences and hints that this would give Israel automatic control of U.S. policy in the Middle East. Or, as Barbaro puts it, “a warm friendship, little known to...
Abbas to Netanyahu: Respond favorably to Palestinian peace plan or we return to UN
Netanyahu’s choice is to capitualate to maximalist demands and keep UN approval or to reject them and keep all the land but not UN approval. I think it is a no-brainer. The only issue will be that by refusing to accept the demands of Abbas, it is open to declare that our “occupation” is a threat to world peace. This would open up the possibility of sanctions or military force or a blockade of our international waters. Even so we must keep the land and give the finger to the UN. Ted Belman
Abbas gave the PM a month to respond to the Palestinian positions, which will be laid out in a letter to be delivered to Netanyahu next Wednesday during a Jerusalem meeting with Palestinian PM Salam Fayyad.
The Palestinian Authority will renew its efforts to win UN recognition for a Palestinian state if it does not receive a positive response from Israel to its positions on a prospective peace deal, PA President Mahmoud Abbas told an unofficial Israeli...
