Israel's Foreign Policy in the Shadow of Iran and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict - Danny Ayalon

Deputy Minister Ayalon delivered a presentation titled "Israel's Foreign Policy in the Shadow of Iran and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict" at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs on November 3, 2009.


Israel's Foreign Policy in the Shadow of Iran and the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
By Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon

-Israel must simultaneously pursue three interdependent tracks for advancing Israeli-Palestinian relations: capacity-building measures that foster the rule of law within the Palestinian Authority, regional economic cooperation, and meaningful political dialogue.
-Although conducting dialogue with the Palestinians is a matter of utmost importance for Israel, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's recent plan to unilaterally declare statehood after a two-year state-building process is unrealistic. The emergence of a future Palestinian state will only be a result of consensus and successful negotiations, not an artificial timeline.
-If we are to proceed with a viable diplomatic process with the Palestinians, it is critically important to curb malign Iranian influence in the region and its support of terror proxies like Hizbullah and Hamas.
-Challenging the Iranian bid for hegemony, however, is not the responsibility of Israel alone, but of the larger international community, which must make it clear to the regime led by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that there is a steep price to pay for its continued violations of international norms and UN resolutions.

"antisemite, means a Jew-hater.

Look it up in a dictionary.

Many words don't have a meaning that is exactly their etymological origins.

For example you can have a fruit salad, but "salad" comes from the root "salty" in Italian.

Or your prophet Muhammad, was a pedophile, he was a child abuser, not a "friend of children" which is the etymological root of the word "pedophile". Besides even a Jew can be a Jew-hater, and many Jews are. Just like many Blacks are anti-Black racists.

It is amazing how the leftist+Arab propaganda managed to make Zionist to a "dirty" word.

And you are right; in our time antisemitism became politically incorrect, so the antisemites are calling themselves "anti-Zionist".

The most amazing part is that there are many Jews in that crowd.

@MsCrocodileTears = I agree with you. But Many antisemites and racists like to adopt the "zionist" term as a cover, because it's not so much politically correct to say "I hate jews" -so they say "i hate zionists" - and that was my point.

There are many non-Jewish zionists today, that's also true. May god blesss them.

I like the word Zionist.

It speaks of Zion. A poetic word for Jerusalem.

Zionists are people who support the national liberation of the Jewish people and the Jewish state.

he may be right. But he is a terrible speaker and has no business doing public relations.

@AccordGTR Israelis are very right. Jordanians should host the Palestinians..
