Folks, you must really understand some of the most significant details of what happened in Annapolis. I am hardly the political analyst; instead, I pay attention to hard facts, figures, years, data, and statistics. And people’s behavior. How one behaves says it all. In Annapolis, the fact that the Jews were asked to enter the conference room through a different door than the one that was used by the arabs should have been the signal for the Israeli team to pick themselves up out of that pig-sty and to vow to never again sit down and negotiate with Muslim sub-human terrorists. Bargain with those Arab pig bastards while they ask the Israeli team to use another door? Screw that crap. And to hell with Condi Rice, for growing up in the segregated South, yet never saying anything to the Arabs asking the Jews to use another entrance. Condi Rice’s silence was criminal. Excerpted from the excellent Caroline Glick, at JPost:
This week the Bush Administration legitimized Arab anti-Semitism. In an effort to please the Saudis and their Arab brothers, the Bush administration agreed to physically separate the Jews from the Arabs at the Annapolis conference in a manner that aligns with the apartheid policies of the Arab world which prohibit Israelis from setting foot on Arab soil.
Evident everywhere, the discrimination against Israel received its starkest expression at the main assembly of the Annapolis conference on Tuesday. There, in accordance with Saudi demands, the Americans prohibited Israeli representatives from entering the hall through the same door as the Arabs.
At the meeting of foreign ministers on Wednesday, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni called her Arab counterparts to task for their discriminatory treatment. “Why doesn’t anyone want to shake my hand? Why doesn’t anyone want to be seen speaking to me?” she asked pointedly.
Israel’s humiliated foreign minister did not receive support from her American counterpart. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who spent her childhood years in the segregated American South, sided with the Arabs. Although polite enough to note that she doesn’t support the slaughter of Israelis, she made no bones about the fact that her true sympathies lie with the racist Arabs.
As she put it, “I know what it is like to hear that you cannot go on a road or through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian. I understand the feeling of humiliation and powerlessness. “
Rice’s remarks make clear that for the Secretary of State there is no difference between Israelis trying to defend themselves from a jihadist Palestinian society which supports the destruction of the Jewish state and bigoted white Southerners who oppressed African Americans because of the color of their skin. It is true that Israel has security concerns, but as far as Rice is concerned, the Palestinians are the innocent victims. They are the ones who are discriminated against and humiliated, not Livni, who was forced – by Rice – to enter the conference through the service entrance.
The Bush administration’ s tolerance for discrimination against Israel was not merely ceremonial. Diplomatically, the conference was equally prejudicial. At Annapolis, the US joined the Arabs in placing the lion’s share of blame for the absence of peace between Israel and the Palestinians on Israel. But you wouldn’t know that from listening to Olmert, who is working steadily to hide what happened there.
