Israel Daily News Stream 04/25/2012

Everything you need to know about today’s media coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
Note to readers: The HonestReporting staff will be off for Israel Independence Day. There will be no Israel Daily News Stream tomorrow.
Why did CNN try dragging Benjamin Netanyahu into US politics? Is India sacrificing Israeli defense ties for Iranian oil? And does it really matter whether Egypt’s gas deal with Israel was cancelled for commercial or political reasons?

Israel and the Palestinians
• Over at his NY Times blog, Paul Krugman gives a shoutout to Peter Beinart that’ll rankle some readers:
The truth is that like many liberal American Jews — and most American Jews are still liberal — I basically avoid thinking about where Israel is going. It seems obvious from here that the narrow-minded policies of the current government are basically a gradual, long-run form of national suicide — and that’s bad for Jews everywhere, not to mention the world. But I have other battles to fight, and to say anything to that effect is to bring yourself under intense attack from organized groups that try to make any criticism of Israeli policies tantamount to anti-Semitism.
• CNN‘s Erin Burnett interviewed Prime Minister Netanyahu. She made quite an effort to draw the Prime Minister into commenting on US politics, and his relationship with Mitt Romney, but Bibi would have none of it.
Part 2 addresses Iran, and Part 3 deals with the peace process.
• If Yossi Beilin says the PA should dismantle itself and Ahmed Qureia talks up the one-state solution, you can be sure The Guardian‘s Harriet Sherwood will consider this newsworthy. Sherwood’s hook?
Two of the architects of the Oslo accords, which were intended as the basis of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict almost 20 years ago, have radically changed their position following the long-term impasse between the two sides.
• YNet picks up on The Guardian’s bizarre Jerusalem correction.
• Jodi Rudoren, the new NY Times bureau chief in Jerualem, filed her first story — about the retroactive legalization of three West Bank settlements.

Dear Sir, [today's Grauniad and let Beilin and Qureia lecture in exile like Kerensky]
There has been a whiff of Weimar social disintegration in UK politcs since Mrs T. thrashed Arthur Scargill and queened it over unions, building societies and local councils If Simon Jenkins’ report on American alarm that Europe is re-running the thirties is right – as Russia did when the Soviet Union died; then those expecting an Arab majority in Palestine need wait longer as there are still a million Jews in “sunset” Europe who will need a refuge when Le Pen’s lot tip the dominoes.
A one state Palestine is a hyper Ulster or Partition India as in 1948. The only Arab exit is to emulate: Irish, Israelis, Indians – even Algerians – by creating a parallel government, then cut losses with a peace to legitimise themselves – never mind their neighbours – which they could have done any time since the 1937 Peel Report, as Abdullah I did for Jordan since 1921. Hyperinflating to camera for political milk they spilt will change little.
Sardonically the British used to find copies of Irish memoirs when searching for, or arresting members of the Irgun and Lehi. Is it an excess snobbery that the Arab parties expect to be served by the powers instead of cooking the bird in hand? If the €uro and Europe are sliding into the thirties, expect a US reversion to (splendid?) isolation as fracked gas replaces Gulf oil and subs to the PA and UNWRA dry out.
Yours faithfully, Frank Adam

Like so many “investigative reporters” they are only interested in “scoops” and can be a “nudge” by repeating one question over and over. Premier BiBi knew immediately what Erin was after and told her so. Sensationalism is the word. To be a good investigative reporter you must learn everything about the subject before hand and not on the spot. She would realized how far she can go with some of her questions. This was a live show on CNN, Bibi had to remain correct and show her the courtesies.
We in the USA have very few real reporters left.

I suppose that If Erin had the time to do her home work, CNN would not allow her to state for example that Beinart concocted data are false and therefore there is no controversy except for Beinart wishful thinking.

The most simple answere is always overlooked.WHY did the Arabs NOT accept the original partition of the land in 1948? Who knows to what stage the Arabs could have prospered in a peaceful way. But no, they did not accept and declared war in the expectation to GET it ALL.
By accepting in the intervening years to exchange land for peace, it gave credence to the Palestinians of the territory they are demanding. First Israel said: there will be no settlemenst allowed, and then a few and then more were built on land not initially part of Israel. It is no wonder that some in the world believe Israel is usurping the territories. Look at the various peace accords. Israel was ready to give, the Palestinians again refused.
Israel should also have referred to the League of Nations agreement of 1922 which included a larger Israel and accepted by a very large majority of nations.
This were Israel shows weakness in NOT STATING the many opportunities the Arabs had to accept REALITIES. I like to see documentation where an Arab farmer claims that landhe claims had been in his family for 400 years. I wonder if he knows what a century is?
Any further negotitian must be based on the fact that Israel ALONE accepted the partition, a partial contract is an incomlete contract.

Israel is not backward in coming forward about when the Arabs could not resist the opportunity to miss an opportunity – eight times since 1920 inclusive at least.
The trouble is the press hacks who prefer to deal in soppy emotions instead of hard facts and so refuse to publicise the Arab refusals as that would spoil a good story with the truth.

I hope that Israel’s UN Ambassador’s April 24 UN speech will get the wide circulation that it deserves. Ron Prosor covered the Arab myths and revealed the most ignored myth that the Palestinians alone were made refugees in the 1948 War of Independence whereas many more North African Jews were expelled and properties expropriated during and after 1948.
The 750,000 Arab refugees have been victims of Arab League malevolence and spite wasting four generations of Palestinian Arab lives in the UNRWA camps, whereas the then 850,000 North African Jewish refugees have since flourished in Israel and now constitute more than half of the Jewish population of Israel without humiliating UNRWA aid and life in dispiriting camps.
Today, fewer than 50,000 of the original 1948 Palestinian Arab refugees are still alive, but somehow the UN is supporting more than four millions who still call themselves Palestinian refugees!!

I am a Jew who married a Gentile. She and I both love Israel and strongly advocte for her importance in world history and current events. Apparently these surveys tend to skip over my segment of the population. Here is another point to consider: history has taught the Jewish people that whenever the tendency to assimilate reaches a certain height, persecution has arisen and a diaspora unfolds. The next one may be the last remaining one and that is an exodus to Israel.
How much more then, does it need our support.
