Israel`s re-scheduled conflict resolution conference was held yesterday afternoon. With delegates from Egypt, India, Russia, USA, Fatah, Canada, & China all in attendance, it is a wonder that no one pulled a ‘Kim Jong Il' and fell asleep amidst the lethargic discussions. Big words and ideas may have been thrown around from nation to nation but no common resolve was found or even so much as touched upon.
Israel proposed the notion of drastically upping current embargoes on Iran to force them into peace talks. This extreme measure was met with disapproval from various other nation delegates & Israel’s say was lost from there on out. No course of action was decided upon.
The only thing that this conflict resolution conference has solidified is the fact that Israel does NOT hold any real political authority. Israel’s voice is loud, and shrill, and annoying & they get away with it only by hiding behind the USA, but -unbeknownst to Israel- America holds all 52 cards in Israel’s deck. This was proven to the world yesterday as America had the power to abruptly halt Israel’s conference not even 15 minutes in, & replace it with a private arctic meeting of their own, casting a subservient Israel out of the room. Without western support and financial aid, Israel would surely be drowning in this dangerous and hostile world. With this looming power over Israel, we can conclude that unless President Obama is able to step up and push Israel, peace simply will not happen.
