Against ‘Pro-Israel’ by NY Time's Robert Wright

Stop Funding the Israelis

The pretense has ended, Netanyahu chooses to defy Obama

I think SOMETHING is happening now. It's unusual for an Israeli leader to be treated like this in the WH. No cameras allowed. No joint appearences. And for him to request another meeting with Obama is telling.

POLITICO After meeting, deafening silence By: Laura Rozen and Ben Smith March 23, 2010 11:51 PM EDT The Obama administration shifted this week from red hot anger at Benjamin Netanyahu to an icier suspicion toward the Israeli Prime Minister, who made clear in a marathon of meetings with U.S. officials that he would give ground only grudgingly on their goal of stopping the continued construction of new Israeli housing units on disputed territory. Netanyahu met with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office Tuesday evening for an unexpectedly-long 89-minutes until about 7:00, then stayed to consult with his own staff in the Roosevelt Room, according to a source briefed on the meeting. The two then met again for 35 minutes at 8:20 at Netanyahu's request, the source said. But the meetings were shrouded in unusual secrecy, in part because U.S. officials, who just ten days earlier called the surprise announcement of new housing in East Jerusalem an “insult” and an “affront,” made sure to reward Netanyahu with a series of small snubs: There were no photographs released from the meeting, and no briefing for the press. And as of late Tuesday evening, neither side had released the usual “readout” of the meetings’ content – a likely indicator of the distance between the sides. But any impression that Netanyahu’s trip would mark a renewal of the troubled relationship between U.S. and Israeli leaders had faded by the time the men met. Netanyahu had spent the previous 24 hours of a U.S. visit lobbying allies in Congress to push back against public American criticism and to turn the focus to Iran, congressional sources said, and delivered a defiant speech to the pro-Israel group AIPAC, insisting on Israel’s right to build in Jerusalem. He also complained to U.S. officials of his limited power over the housing construction, though he promised in meetings with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden to do his best to avoid future unpleasant surprises, officials said. The limits of Netanyahu’s promise became clear minutes before his scheduled meeting with Obama, when the Jerusalem municipality gave final approval to a settler group to proceed on a controversial development in the city, an announcement which prompted a lawmaker from one of Israeli’s liberal opposition parties to call the prime minister a “pyromaniac.” “This is exactly what we expect Prime Minister Netanyahu to get control of,” a senior U.S. official told POLITICO Tuesday evening. “The current drip-drip-drip of projects in East Jerusalem impedes progress.” The clearest sign of Netanyahu’s rift with the White House, however, may have been his intense focus on Congress, which has blunted the attempts of many of Obama’s predecessors to pressure the Jewish state. “We in Congress stand by Israel,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, standing beside Netanyahu Tuesday. “In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel.” But while Congress was speaking publicly with one voice, behind the scenes Netanyahu seemed to be trying to drive a wedge between it and the White House. The Israeli leader met separately with groups of congressmen and senators, finding support on both sides of the aisle, but particular warmth from Republicans. In an interview with POLITICO after his meeting with Netanyahu, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, the only Jewish Republican member of Congress, made it clear that he supports the Israeli government’s plans for new housing in East Jerusalem rather than what he described as the Obama administration’s overreaction in criticizing the move. “None of us believe we ought to go back to the ’67 lines,” Cantor said. “That brings into question why in the world would some construction in Jerusalem that no one thinks would be part of a Palestinian state ... be an issue.” House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana was more critical. He called the White House stance on the Jewish state “absurd,” saying President Barack Obama needs to stop trying to “micromanage” Israel on settlement issues. “I never thought I’d live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the Jewish state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem,” Pence told reporters. While Republicans presented themselves as the more steadfast champions of Israel, Democrats were circumspect. Asked about the Republican criticism, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) sounded as though he had not been talking to the same person as Cantor and Pence. “Well, that’s certainly not what [Prime Minister] Netanyahu’s message was to us today,” he said, adding, “it was a very positive, upbeat meeting.” “I think that the Republicans are spending an enormous amount of time being critical and disparaging without offering any sort of alternatives to anything,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry. In a meeting with Jewish members of Congress, Netanyahu did most of the talking and determinedly turned the subject from settlements to Iran, according to a Democratic Hill staffer who did not want to be quoted by name. “He knows that this is something that is going to move members of Congress, even if they are angry about the expansion of Jewish housing, that they are going to respond to Iran as a threat,” the staffer said. “He connected Iran to just about every subject that was raised.” Netanyahu, according to this account, pushed members to get a reconciled Iran sanctions bill to the president’s desk soon, even if there is collateral damage and that ordinary Iranian people would be hurt by the sanctions, not just the regime. Netanyahu also complained that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is “not a partner; [he] won’t come to the table,” another Democratic Hill staffer said, summarizing. Netanyahu “made excuses for the complicated [housing] approval process ... the point being he had no idea what happened when Vice President Joe Biden was there.” But with the special relationship between the two countries in a state of unusual ferment, Netanyahu’s tortured meetings with the series of Americans appeared anything but decisive. Netanyahu “is too smart not to understand that Washington has changed,” veteran Middle East peace negotiator Aaron David Miller told POLITICO on Tuesday. “And that a potentially transformative president who is now king of the world for a day is facing off against Benjamin Netanyahu, king of Israel. And the fight between the two is not today. What we see now is positioning."

^^Not really. A Darwiish state that ‘s independent of both Puntland and Somaliland has been proposed before, and he merely would’ve been supporting it if he were to endorse it. Anyone who cared to pay close attention to Sool community’s contemporary political literature would’ve detected that school of thought. But evidently Farax was not well versed with these political sentiments. He was no Omer Ma’allin

^^ @Xaaji Abtigiis, NGONGE waagaan wixii somaliland sameyso waa difaacaa, markaasuuse ugu darnaa

^^ @dhinaca Jubboyinka Farax has become a joke, snm ta ha la raaco kulahaa. Hadduu oran lahaa rag noqdo Garoowe ka go'a, waxbay ahaan lahayd awoowe

Awoowe it goes both ways. In tolka’s (read: Puntland) intelligentia vanguard, tradition has been to discount the O group politically on the basis of being uninitiated on matters of governance. Anigu laftigaygu ma qabo sidaa, but SOL is giving me a body of data that partially suggest said intelligentsia’s conclusion. Soo kaa Farax Lascano tegey maaha

looooool@ninkii Tie'ga dheeraa waabad isoo xasuusisay . waa wagaan ogaaday in NGONGE la waalay suu kaasuu difaacay in the name of inventor's right

xaaji, wafdiga diyaaraddii xunta ahayd ma la tusay?

Abtigiis, if you must waxaad tiraahdaa intii reer amaadinkii Qarri Jiqood oranjireen: awow good la gub kuwaasi siyaasadda inkaar bay ku qabaan !

^^awoowe AT&T waa sheeko xariir talent leh, laakiin cudur somalida qaar ku dhacay baan uga baqayaa Yusuf waa siyaasi wariye ah. Qolooyin uu aad isaga jiro ayaa jira awoowe . Report ka UN ta, he is more reasonable and logical than the authors of the report.

Unconfirmed reports have implicated some Hizbul Islam officials in the murder, which is one of its kinds that rock the grou p. Laga barte, laga badi .

Somalia: Gunmen kill Al-Shabaab commander in Kismayo 20 Mar 20, 2010 - 9:07:18 AM An Al-Shabaab sebior commander was reportedly killed in the port city of Kismayo in Somalia’s southern lower Jubba region, officials said on Saturday. The commander named Sheikh Daud Ali Hassan was shot dead on Friday night by two assailants armed with pistol, according to Al-Shabaab’s Jubba administration chairman Sheikh Ibrahim Ali Adan. “Sheikh Daud died after receiving several shots on the head and the two gunmen escaped after the incident,” he said. “We are after the murderers and the investigations are still on-going,” he added. An eyewitness, who requested to remain confidential, said the murder was executed in a well-planned manner as gunmen freely escape the area after the incident. No group has claimed responsibility for the murder; however, several people have been arrested by Al-Shabaab fighters in connection with the incident. The group has been in military loggerheads with rival group, Hizbul Islam over the control of southern Somali regions.

Permanent Mission of the Somali Republic to the United Nations Jamhuuriyada Soomaaliya Ergada Joogtda ah ee Qaramada Midoobay PRESS RELEASE 27 June 2008. In reference to the recent appointment of Mr. Malt Bryden as Coordinator of the Monitoring Group (MG) established pursuant to resolution 1519 (2003) in which its mandate was recently extended for a period of six months by the resolution 1811 (2008). We expressed our strongest objection to the appointment. We have conveyed our position to the President of the Security Council, Secretary General of the United Nations and Chairman of the Sanctions Committee on Somalia. Our objections stems principally on his view on Somalia that is fundamentally contrary to what is enshrined in our Constitution; that is the Transitional Federal Charter of Somalia; that maintaince unity, territorial integrity and political independent of Somalia and thus consistent with the Charter of the United Nations. In reference to CV of Mr. Malt Bryden have submitted to UN Secretariat and later was circulated to the members of the Security Council, he has “facilitated introductory mission of Senlis Foundation to Somalia” This mission led by SenDs Council has published unfair and biased report on Somalia dated on April 2008. Mr. Malt Bryden academic article on Journal of African Security Review 13(2) 2004, and article on Institute for Practical Research and Training dated July 2000, as well as, other reports sanctioned by him questions the unity of Somalia. Taking into account what Mr. Malt Bryden has published, interviews he has given and academic articles he published demonstrates his unfairly opposition towards the Somali Government and its allies in the region. He has history of actively supporting disintegration of Somalia, contrary to the Charter of the United Nations, the Charter of the African Union and all Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 1811 (2008) that re-established the Monitoring Group. However, the people of Somalia, government or opposition, secular or religious, civil society or business, fundamentally believe the unity and terroritial integrity of Somalia. In this context, if Mr. Matt Bryden is maintained as Coordinator of the Monitoring Group despite our strong objection, we have informed to the United Nations officials as well as members of the Security Council that we will not cooperate or offer any facilitation for the work of the Monitoring Group. We also do not expect that countries that we have cordial relations will provide sensitive information to the MG that touches our national security. In order to meet Security Council obligation, we have expressed to the countries in the region as well as regional organizations to develop jointly ways and means to channel information relating to arms embargo on Somalia without channeling that information to the MG as we have legitimate concern of this appointment. In final note, on our letter addressed to the Secretary General, we have assured him the Somali Governments’ full confidence on his leadership, wisdom and commitment toward lasting peace and stability in Somalia. We reiterated to work with him and his Special Representative on that endeavor. We have all along accepted on all his previous appointments without reservations but we have very serious concern about Mr. Matt Bryden as fair and independent expert. New York

It was akin to the type of songs little girls recite when tending goats. that is why we deemed it a broken buraanbur, and not a gabay.
