Ach wäre das eine schöne Welt, wo “nur” die deutsche Kanzlerin ein solches auf den Kopf gestelltes, realitätsverleugnendes Nahost-Bild hat. Doch wie es scheint, gibt es unter den Politstrategen keinen einzigen weltweit, der nicht dauernd von “Friedensprozeß” und “Zwei-Staaten-Lösung” fabuliert – als wenn solche Dinge überhaupt in Betracht zu ziehen wären.

Eine realistische und wahrheitsgetreue Berichterstattung oder Kommentierung kann für den Komplex wohl für immer ausgeschlossen werden, mit Ausnahme israelischer Quellen und dem Untergrund im Netz.

Die Masse bleibt über die Wirklichkeit zwischen Arabern und Israelis in einem Wolkenkuckucksheim aus Lügen und Propaganda.

Das hast Du genau auf den Punkt gebracht. Die Auswirkungen sind auch schon offensichtlich:
Hamas ruft einen Tag des Zorns aus und Abu Ala droht mit der 3. Intifada, waehrend Israel Clinton beweisen soll, dass es Frieden will.

People who are not familiar with the local situation may distinguish the political status of West and East Jerusalem but it is simply a matter of fact that those who matter don’t distinguish it. The boundary between them is a meaningless bureaucratic sleight of hand, a fantasy of the United Nations and the people who want to deny the world as it is.

Jerusalem can’t become an Arab city without de facto declaring a bloody war to Israel – something that the Palestinians could surely not afford by themselves – because the status quo does assign Jerusalem to Israel. The idea that the Israelis will or should peacefully surrender their rights in that city is preposterous.

I think that the critical approach is very unconstructive. The other, anti-Israel side prefers to destroy houses while Israel is building them. No one ever criticizes them. The Middle East is spread over something like 10 million squared kilometers and not much is being built on most of it. That’s OK.

But when a civilized country of Israel, with its 20 thousand squared kilometers – a quarter of a percent of the Middle East – dares to plan a construction of new houses in a region that covers a few squared kilometers on the Eastern side of their holy city, that’s a big problem, isn’t it?

You know, construction of houses is one of the most natural signs of peace on a given territory. If there’s no construction at explosive places, it just means that people think that the buildings wouldn’t survive. So it’s a very good thing that they plan to build things.

What the Palestinians (and others) should be doing is to be building, too. At whatever place they can – and they have many of them. They shouldn’t jealously attack someone whose life is much more productive than theirs has ever been. They should do something about their huge unemployment and think positively instead of thinking how to use their excess time to hurt others.
