America and Israel relations worsen
President Obama of USA and Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel have not felt comfortable in each others' company from day one. Now, Obama's peace proposals have worsened the situation.
UNBELIEVABLE BUT true is the fact that the United States of America and Israel are not bosom friends any more. The closeness that the two countries experienced since the birth of the only Jewish state in the world in the late 1940s on cessation of hostilities in World War II is conspicuous by its absence now.
The Jewish community in the United States, especially in the New York state, is sizeable in number and economic prosperity, and thereby exercises political influence. The changed Middle-East policy of USA has not gone well with the Jewish-Americans. The general perception is that Obama has shown this tilt towards Muslim interests because of his own Islamic background. Isn’t it a fact that his biological and real father is a practising Muslim from Kenya and was introduced as such at the Presidential inauguration ceremony in Washington DC. Further, Barack Obama spent an impressionable period of his life in Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country. Perhaps that explains the tilt towards Islam in the new foreign policy of USA being promoted by Barack Obama now. CONFLICT AREAS The eye of the Islamic world is presently focussed on the manner and method that USA will adopt to implement the new foreign policy of keeping both Israel and Palestine on board in the formation of a new full-fledged state with economically viable and militarily defensible borders. The real clash of political interest between Israel and Palestine starts here.
America wants to create a new state of Palestine with boundaries that existed prior to the 1967 war between Arabs and Israel, which the former lost. Under no circumstances is Israel prepared to cede the territory to Arabs that it had won in the 1967 Arab-Israel war of six days. Benjamin Netanyahu, the present Prime Minister of Israel has already declared the new boundaries of Israel, as proposed by America, as indefensible. The Palestinians wish to have Jerusalem as their capital, whereas, the Israelis already have the ancient city as their symbolic capital. Jerusalem is dear to heart of Muslims, Christians, and now Jews too. Eventually, Jerusalem may turn out to be the main bone of contention. So, one may say that fruits will belong to the man who nurtured the plants and helped them grow into trees. PERSONAL EQUATIONS In a round of negotiations, it is the final word that matters. Likewise, it is the Supreme Court that will be the final arbiter of thousands of feet, hands and mouths to feed. Americans were cool, calm and collected when the chips were down and it was a matter of life and death. The Americans had cheese in their custody what they wanted most. Sri Benjamin Netanyah, Prime Minister of the youngest powerful state of the world, may find no reception organised for him because of some misunderstanding among the major negotiating powers. The two powerful men, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Sri Benjamin Netanyahu have no love lost between them and they are not the best of friends, as everyone is aware of.
In any case it is well known from day one that Barack Obama and Benyamin Netanyahu are not warm to each other. They are barely on nodding terms and hate to look at issues closely. Even a beginner of military psychology will say that how can they negotiate since the bandage helps commence conversation. It would not be inappropriate for the Prime Minister of country X to say 'Hello' to the Prime Minister of country Y so that there is some thaw in the otherwise cold conversation that had failed to commence. NO SILVER LINING The dark clouds are in abundance. There is no silver lining, though. If the doctors do that, the hospital building will collapse. It is said that mere touch of human beings who are blessed with holistic healing will go a long way in making or unmaking of a real hospital. As of now, leaders of important countries of the world feel cheated on being left out. It is not the food that matters; it is the fact of being seen at the negotiating table that matters. After all it is the human society where one upmanship will remain in currency. It is applicable to men and women of all professions and this kind of politico-social mixing gives the prime minister or any other minister that all important aura that all of us crave for. Benyamin Netanyahu has already rejected the call of Barack Obama to make the boundaries that existed in 1967 as the base for the negotiation to take off. He has reiterated that those boundaries for Israel are indefensible and, therefore, will render the State of Israel vulnerable even to feeble attacks of one-man army of some unimportant Islamist terror outfit. It appears that the situation will be back to square one and all concerned will go home for a homely reunion with own folks.
