Antisemitic Democrats Denounce Peace HISTORIC Deal Between Israel and the UAE

32

No less of a liberal than Thomas Friedman of the Times writes that for once he agrees with Mr. Trump’s assessment — that the agreement, under which the UAE will establish full diplomatic relations with the Jewish state, is “HUGE.” He calls it a “geopolitical earthquake.”

But not the Democrat party of course, and certainly not the jihad wing of it.  That is because peace has never been the objective of the “Palestinians” and the pro-Palestinian Left. It has always been about vilifying, deligitmizing, isolating, and destroying the worlds only Jewish state. And the fact that Obama’s former Deputy National Security Advisor publicly denounced this deal speaks volumes. It is another example of how virulently anti-Israel the Obama Administration was. By the way, Bahrain could soon be the next Gulf nation to follow the UAE by signing a peace deal with Israel. Today was a massive defeat for the BDS Movement.

Leftists Denounce Peace Deal Between Israel and the UAE

By Israelly Cool, August 13, 2020

I am sure you’ve already heard the news: Israel and the United Arab Emirates reached a historic agreement today to set up full diplomatic relations between the two countries.

You’d think those on the Left would welcome a peace treaty, right?

Just kidding – I am sure you all know better than that.

They hate it.

Here are some of the reactions:

Rashida Tlaib

IfNotNow

Yonah Lieberman, co-founder of IfNotNow

Ben Rhodes, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Barack Obama

Code Pink

August 13, 2020 — Peace group CODEPINK denounces the “historic peace deal” announced today that normalizes relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in exchange for Israel suspending plans to formally annex the West Bank. “We are not fooled by this fake diplomacy, which is nothing more than a way to maintain Israel’s status quo of land theft, home demolitions, arbitrary extrajudicial killings, apartheid laws, and other abuses of Palestinian rights,” said CODEPINK national co-director Ariel Gold. “Annexation is a daily reality on the ground. By normalizing relations with Israel without any gains for Palestinians, the UAE is pledging complicity with Israel’s violations of international law and Palestinian human rights.”

The agreement between the UAE and Israel — facilitated by the Trump administration — comes on the heels of Trump moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognizing the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, and creating a so-called peace plan with no Palestinian participation or input. It also takes place within the context of the UAE, along with Saudi Arabia, participating in a war in Yemen so brutal that it turned Yemen into the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. Moreover, it must be seen in the context of the ongoing hostilities by all three countries with Iran and Trump’s failed policy of “maximum pressure” that was designed to force Iran back to the negotiating table.

“The ‘historic deal’ with the UAE and Israel does not move the Middle East any closer to peace,” said CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. “On the contrary. It strengthens the Israel-US-Gulf alliance against Iran, which will further inflame tensions and cause more death and suffering, while maintaining Israel’s status quo of occupation and apartheid.”

The UAE had previously held a position consistent with public opinion in Gulf and Middle East countries that the acceptance of formal diplomatic relations with Israel should only take place in exchange for a just peace and in accordance with international law. The UAE’s change from supporting Palestinian dignity and freedom to supporting Israel’s never-ending occupation cements the UAE’s alliance with the Trump administration, which allows the country to purchase weapons that are used against civilians in Yemen. UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed is a shrewd player in the Middle East, a dictator who uses his country’s military and financial resources to thwart moves towards democracy and respect for human rights.

The fact that this agreement between two Middle East countries was first announced thousands of miles away in Washington DC shows how it is more about improving Netanyahu’s battered image in Israel and shoring up Trump’s slumping electoral campaign than bringing peace to the Middle East. It also shows the interests of Netanyahu and bin Zayed in keeping Trump in the White House. To add insult to injury, newly appointed Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Gilad Erdan said today that Netanyahu has promised him that annexation is not in fact off the table.

The normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel, facilitated by the U.S., serves to prop up three repressive leaders — Trump, Netanyahu, and bin Zayed — and will cause further harm to Palestinians. It is both a shame and a sham.

CODEPINK Middle East Director Ariel Gold is available for interviews.

It’s unanimous: the socialist Left hates peace.

They spent months talking about how awful “annexation” would be but they are not celebrating it getting off the table – because the price to be paid is a peace agreement between Israel and a major Arab country.

They talk about how important negotiations and diplomacy are for Iran but they are dead-set agaist negotiations and diplomacy between Israel and the UAE.

They say they are anti-war, but an agreement that makes another Arab-Israeli war virtually unthinkable gets nothing but condemnation.

They say that this agreement will hurt Palestinians, but they cannot quite say exactly why.

IMO this was a brilliant move and also a big thank you is owed P.M. Netanyahu. In his own way, he is trying to help Trump get re-elected. Having a peace deal, anywhere, helps Trump!

Netanyahu put off the annexation which I speculate may happen after the election. The UAE can use this to save some face by falsely claiming to his people he has stopped the annexation and then can openly cooperate with Israel on middle east concerns. The annexation is being temporarily paused. I hope Saudi Arabia openly recognizes their working together with Israel through an agreement. That would make the DEMS totally lose it!

Enjoy this moment. I doubt that we will have a more Israel friendly President than Trump.

I realise that in Universities and BBC Palestinianismus is the cause celebre. For many destructive years. From what little I know of Arabia this is not the case there. Many could not care a fig. Especially without microphone and camera nearby. They have problems and national interest of their own. You then have to wonder why Universities and BBC are so.

Muslums killing other muslums over doctrinal differences isn’t a humanitarian crisis — just as the SS slaughtering the SA wasn’t. I can’t help but notice that enemedia “journalists” like these never have anything to say about the 60,000+ Nigerian Christians being slaughtered by muslums in Nigeria. Code Pink can go to hell.

Pamela Geller writes that “the socialist Left hates peace.”

However it is not peace that Ariel Gold, Lisa Goldman, Ben Rhodes, Yonah Lieberman, Medea Benjamin and others of their ilk hate.

Not at all: what they hate is the state of Israel – and that hatred derives from their antagonism towards the Jewish people themselves.

Of course, this is never acknowledged; instead it is folded into cliches about “human rights” – as they define the term, of course.

Moreover they are not “socialist” – that too is a euphemism.

They are more akin to National Socialists – in their insistence on Palestinian nationalism, and in their embrace of Israel’s mortal enemies, particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I quote:
““The ‘historic deal’ with the UAE and Israel does not move the Middle East any closer to peace,” said CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. “On the contrary. It strengthens the Israel-US-Gulf alliance against Iran,
which will further inflame tensions and cause more death and suffering, while maintaining Israel’s status quo of
occupation and apartheid.”

CODEPINK’s statement is another sobriquet for the Mullahs, who have made clear their genocidal intentions; just recently they failed in an attempt to poison the drinking water in Israel.

All of this is an abominable disgrace, but we live in times in which disgrace is not uncommon – and these people embrace it.

Antisemitic Dhimmicrats Denounce Peace HISTORIC Deal Between Israel and the UAE

I’m a liberal and a Democrat, and I think the Israel-UAE deal is a great thing, too.

Tlaib and IfNotNow do NOT represent the mainstream of Democratic liberal opinion.

Fringe leftists are NOT liberal. They are anti-liberal. They see bourgeois (middle-class) middle-of-the-roaders as BIGGER enemies to enactment of their extreme agenda than the extreme fringe of the reactionary right, both because there are MORE of us in or near the center, and we have a bigger voice in setting policy than even the most vocal fringes (on either side of the aisle) do. That’s how it’s supposed to work, in a sane and open-minded political party, even if the fringe crazies are also given a voice. We DO still believe in free speech.

The Israel-UAE deal is just another meaningless land for peace deal, that won’t bring Israel any peace whatsoever. If you haven’t noticed Gaza was handed over to the f’ing muslums in a similar land for peace deal. And unless you consider well over ten thousand rocket and mortar rounds fired from Gaza into Israel missives of peace Israel hasn’t garnered much peace from that deal.
The Sinai was ALSO given back to the f’ing muslums in a land-for-peace deal, in this case the Egyptians. There is now evidence the Egyptians are allowing the importation of arms and armaments into Gaza from the Sinai.

Michael Jacobs

Say what? How can you call this “another meaningless land for peace deal”? No land is being exchanged. Israel still controls all of Area C in Judea and Samaria. The Palestinian Authority gains not one square inch of territory. So that’s quite a leap you took, there.

The Gaza experiment was perhaps a bad idea in hindsight, but at least it now serves as a permanent bad example — “See what would happen if we turned over the West Bank completely to the PA? Hamas would overthrow Fatah and then start launching rockets at Tel Aviv from barely 10 miles away.” Israelis of both right and left (except for the tiny remaining radical fringe of Labor, and the Arab parties) strongly support keeping the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem and its environs, and the major settlement towns, forever. Nothing changed on that front. What DID change is a significant Sunni Arab player saying, “That doesn’t matter, we will open relations with you. Screw the PLO. You are our ally in the fight against Shi’ite Iran and their attempt to take over the Middle East.”

As for Sinai, you are correct that the peace agreement with Egypt is a cold one, and the majority of Egyptians are still deeply Jew-hating. But this is still better than a hot war. Egypt does cooperate with Israel on blockading Hamas in Gaza, even though you are correct that some weapons get through. And most recently, Egypt condemned Hamas for launching incendiary terror balloons to burn Israeli farmland and towns, and supports Israeli actions to sanction or prevent such attacks. Dreaming is nice, but in the Middle East, the status quo was already pretty much in Israel’s favor — especially the idea that time is on Israel’s side, NOT the Palestinians — and this deal makes that even more clear.

Um the “peace” deal requires Israel to NOT annex Judea and Samaria — thus the land has been given up. Does the ‘peace’ deal require the suspension of any further Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria?

“Some weapons get through”. I haven’t heard or read of the Egyptians seizing any arms or armaments meant for the Gaza Sh!te and they certainly don’t seem to have any problems acquiring rockets to fire into Israel.
Egypt “condemned” so what? Words are cheap. Muslums regularly condemn islamic terrorism but they don’t do much of anything to stop it OR compensate the victims or victims’ families.

The sovereignty (NOT annexation — Israel already has a legitimate, though disputed, claim to Judea and Samaria; the original plan was simply to apply Israeli law, rather than leftover Ottoman law, in the “West Bank”) plan would not have changed ANY of the “facts on the ground;” it was purely a legal change being considered. Neither side (Israel or the PA) would have gained or lost actual control over ANY territory they already actually control. That’s why it’s not a “land for peace” deal. Rather, it’s a “we won’t call it what it already is”-for-peace deal. Who cares? As long as the real de facto power remains the same, Israel’s security AND the lives of Israelis living east of the Green Line remain completely unaffected.

The only REAL change the Trump peace plan (including the sovereignty option) had — and it’s a BIG one, which I like, don’t get me wrong — was to finally put pressure on the Palestinian side, to make them realize time was NOT on their side, and that they needed to “fish or cut bait” soon or they would lose ANY opportunity to keep genuine hope alive for a future Palestinian state. This peace deal with UAE has the SAME effect — either the PA quits being rejectionist (no peace, no recognition, no negotiation) and maximalist (“from the river to the sea”) and agrees to a compromise with Israel that would end the state of conflict that has existed since 1948, OR they get left behind, as the rest of the Arab world gets fed up with them and makes peace with Israel WITHOUT resolving the “Palestinian issue.”

We could argue all day about how serious Egypt is in controlling Gaza terrorism. Incompetence also has something to do with it. But those are both beside the point. The point I was trying to make is that Gaza terrorism threatens the military regime in Egypt, too; Hamas is a branch of the fanatically Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, which Sisi’s generals overthrew when they deposed the Morsi regime a few years ago. Hamas HATES the Egyptian government. Egypt’s interests and Israel’s interests are aligned here, in realpolitik, is the point.

What is Gaza but the fulfillment of the Palestinian state? After all, it’s hard to imagine Israel controls Gaza considering the rocket and mortar barrages that semi-annually burst forth from the Gaza Shite.
For the Coptic Christians it would seem Sisi is merely a case of meet the new boss same as the old boss. Their persecution hasn’t stopped under Sisi.
Does the peace treaty w/the UAE prohibit more Israeli settlements being built in Judea and Samaria?

This time around, it looks like we substantially agree on all points. (Not the first time.)

Yes, Gaza is a de facto “Palestinian state,” completely under the control of Hamas, with no Israeli “occupation” anywhere in sight. But Hamas has not DECLARED statehood within those boundaries, because they want the ENTIRE former British Mandate territory (i.e. what is now Israel) to be theirs, too. That is also what ultra-left anti-Zionists mean when they support a “Palestinian state,” supposedly “free, from the river to the sea.” So when rational middle-of-the-road people refer to a “Palestinian state,” they mean a situation where a peaceful Palestinian entity which is no longer seeking the complete destruction of Israel is ALLOWED by Israel to come into being in some part of the West Bank, whether or not that newly recognized independent entity is consolidated with Gaza, or with Jordan, for that matter. (Jordan was the FIRST “Palestinian state,” being set aside from 77% of the original Palestine Mandate as an Arab-only land in the FIRST such partition performed by Britain in 1923. While “Palestinian state” is thus an apt term for what Gaza is now, de facto even if not de jure, it is not what we are talking about.

I agree Egypt’s military government is still no reliable protector of Egypt’s Coptic Christians (OR of Egypt’s few remaining Jews). It’s not the military government that is persecuting those religious minorities, but basically they just don’t care, and turn a blind eye when the Islamist fanatics (mostly, the Muslim Brotherhood, as noted) burn down churches with the worshipers still inside. One can only guess at Sisi’s motivation but my suggestion is that he simply doesn’t care enough about those non-Muslim minorities to be worth getting into another fight with the Muslim Brotherhood over them. The Egyptian PEOPLE still have a very substantial subset (maybe even a majority, but, who knows, since free polling is totally out of the question in a military dictatorship) who continue to support the Brotherhood.

Finally, all I know about the UAE deal is what I read in the papers. But I have seen nothing that would prevent more settlement growth, or have ANY other effect besides DELAYING (not permanently banning) any legal moves to apply Israeli law to the designated parts of Area C that were being considered.

The fact that you believe Israel’s very existence makes it “the interloper in a break-in” is all the proof I need that you are no “centrist liberal” as you claim to be. You deny the Jewish people the right to self-determination and nationhood, uniquely among all the world’s peoples, apparently. The fact that Jews BOUGHT land in the Levant to re-establish their national home, and were viciously attacked for doing so by Jew-hating Islamist thugs (led by Amin El-Husseini) for doing so simply because they were proud, self-actualized Jews who refused to kowtow to Muslim “superiors” the way a good Dhimmni should, means nothing to you, apparently. Husseini’s mobs massacred the entire Jewish community of Hebron in 1929 simply because they were Jews, not because they “stole” anything from Arabs. Klansmen attacked Black families in the US Jim Crow South who had the temerity to move into “white” neighborhoods, for exactly the same reason: because the disfavored minorities were beingn “uppity.”
