Quartet comes calling in capital it rejects


By Stan Goodenough

The Quartet of Powers held an official meeting in Jerusalem Tuesday to discuss ways in which to elbow forward the process that would see Israel robbed of its capital and half its land.

Arrogant in their own conceits, representatives of the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations convened for three hours at the USA’s “West Jerusalem” consulate.

The expected outcome of their get-together - an announcement that retiring British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been appointed as their special envoy to the region - was postponed because of some objections from Russia.

The obstacles are reportedly small, however, and the anticipation is that the announcement will be made later Tuesday or on Wednesday.

While gathering under the guise of “peacemaking,” the Quartet's primary concern is to keep the Arab world happy so as to ensure, as far as possible, the uninterrupted flow of relatively inexpensive oil upon which so much of the world depends.

To this end these nations have shown themselves more than willing to gamble with Israel’s existence.

Meanwhile, bowing and scraping to the Arab world, not one of these nations has its embassy in Israel’s capital.

The Bush administration – which describes itself as a strong ally of Israel, straddles the fence, refusing to move its embassy to Jerusalem, and instead maintains consulates in both the “eastern” and “western” sides of the city.

In fact, Jerusalem is daily crawling with representatives of international organizations that reject the Jews’ right to Jerusalem and to most of the Promised Land.
