Secretary of State's hard line in dealing with Israel wins support among leftist Jews in America
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Condoleeza Rice has won support among American Jews with leftist views for her tough stance in dealing with Israel on the issue of the Gaza border.
Far left-leaning American Jewish organizations urged U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to pressure Israel during her brokering this week of a deal that for the first time hands to the Palestinians final control of the Gaza border, telling Rice her tough line against Israel will win her American Jewish support.
Prior to her departure to the Middle East, Rice met with leading liberal New York Jews and Jewish organization.
The groups encouraged her to take a tough line with Israel against settlement expansion and involvement in Palestinian border affairs.
The success or failure of one will impact on the success or failure of the others.
The program presented will allow the United States to help build and reinforce the first section of the bridge that began with this summer's disengagement and must end with the viable and realistic two-state solution," the paper said.
"The three steps that should be implemented in tandem, rather than in sequence, are as follows: Unambiguous and effective efforts by the PA to control terror and prevent attacks on Israelis; an Israeli freeze on extending existing settlements, including roads and other associated infrastructure, and removal of unauthorized settlement outposts; and efforts to help grow the Palestinian economy so the Palestinian Authority can provide jobs and basic services for Palestinians.
A participant in the meeting with Forum told WND one Jewish leader said to Rice her tough stance against Israel will result in strong support from American Jews.
The border agreement, reportedly sealed after marathon diplomatic sessions lasting all night Tuesday between Rice and diplomats from Israel and the Palestinian Authority, also gives the Palestinians a sea port and calls for discussion on the possibility of opening a Palestinian airport in Gaza.
