UN rebukes Israel over Gaza raids
Tough luck, eh?... This "irrelevant" UN talking-shop is beginning to sound like Ahmadinejad... At least, the Brave New World's "international community" thinks differently...

Obama Administration Takes Stronger Line With Israel
As such, the Obama administration sought to make it clear Tuesday, with respectful but strong statements, that revealed little patience for Israeli recalcitrance on these core issues. According to a press release, Vice President Biden, speaking to the leading Israel lobby the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Tuesday, expressed the following hope for a viable plan, but warned against Israel's current and past attitudes towards the "settlements":
The Palestinian Authority must combat terror and incitement against Israel. The United States and its partners have provided funding and training for a reformed Palestinian security force, which has impressed everyone, including the Israeli security officers with its recent demonstrations of professionalism and effectiveness. We are right now seeking funds from Congress to expand this program. But Israel has to work towards a two-state solution. You're not going to like my saying this, but not build more settlements, dismantle existing outposts, and allow the Palestinians freedom of movement based on their first actions -- (applause) -- its access to economic opportunity and increased security responsibility. This is a "show me" deal -- not based on faith -- show me. Prime Minister Netanyahu has important ideas about how to achieve some of these objectives and we look forward to working with him to help develop them when he comes to visit.
Biden's remarks come a week after additional remarks from key players within the administration, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and National Security Advisor James Jones, that equally stressed the need for a two-state solution. According to Haaretz:
Gen. James Jones, national security adviser to President Barack Obama, told a European foreign minister a week ago that unlike the Bush administration, Obama will be "forceful" with Israel.
Meanwhile, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told an AIPAC conference last night that two states for two peoples is the only solution the United States is committed to.
The new approach is regarded as a significant change from the Bush years, where critics insist that administration was far to supine in its policies towards Israel.

*********************************
On April 27, Obama invited Krugman and Stiglitz to the White House for a roast-beef dinner and to get their input on the financial crisis, reports Newsweek:
Mindful of his predecessor, Barack Obama seems to be trying harder to make sure he hears all sides. On the night of April 27, for instance, the president invited to the White House some of his administration's sharpest critics on the economy, including New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz. Over a roast-beef dinner, Obama listened and questioned while Krugman and Stiglitz, both Nobel Prize winners, pushed for more aggressive government intervention in the banking system."
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that dinner! Ever since, some economic bloggers have been wondering what was actually discussed that night.

Voi reveni mai incolo cu unele observatii la postarea ta anterioara desi imi spusesem ca nu ma voi mai aventura sa scriu pe blog-ul tau.
Mai fac o incercare cam asa, . . . cu indoiala . . .
Ai afinitati libertariene? Stii cine este autorul filmului de mai jos?
Mi-am cerut mii de scuze pentru neintelegerea/ graba/ neatentia de atunci. Le repet inca o data, draga Anonimule! Promit sa fiu mai atent la start, data viitoare!
Dupa mine, as indrazni sa cred ca am astfel de afinitati care nu au incaput in Dex-ul patriot!...
Este vorba despre Alex Jones, desigur... Mai multe despre el la http://www.infowars.com/ si http://www.prisonplanet.com/
