you see the isrealis are devoid of sanity and humanity both, they even spy those who care, and feed them like no morrow, and even make them sit a land which is not their own. Natanyahu thinks he rules the world.

JERUSALEM — Israel's foreign minister confirmed Tuesday that he boycotted meetings with the visiting Brazilian president, claiming he refused to visit the grave of the founder of modern Zionism.

 

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told Israeli media he did not attend President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's speech at the Israeli parliament on Monday or two other meetings.

 

Lieberman said he was upset at Silva's decision not to visit late Zionist leader Theodor Herzl's grave, especially while agreeing to lay a wreath at the tomb of late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Wednesday.

 

"A person who is not prepared to visit Herzl's grave but is visiting Arafat's grave, I don't accept that," Lieberman told the Israeli news Web site YNet. He claimed the snub breached protocol.

 

A spokesman from the office of the Brazilian president countered that visiting Herzl's grave was not accepted protocol for a foreign leader's trip.

Come on guys, nothing new to this story, almost all Israeli governments come in with a strong right-wing position knowing that they will eventually settle for what they originally wanted.

The poor, confused and reactionary Palestinians go in a frenzy, the US tries to calm all relevant factions down. Eventually the Israeli government seizes the construction on new occupied territories. The US then says lets talk about the 1960’s borders, the Israeli Prime Minster (Netanyahu again this time) says not only did we concede the construction on land against the wishes of those that voted us in but now you want us to give up what we have. By now the US administration is Midway into second term and its too late to bring lasting peace in the Middle East.

 

But fear not glad tiding and hope is on the way, Democrat Presidential hopeful Alejandro Reyes will bring change in the 2016 elections and lasting peace in the Middle – East.
