Bill Clinton: Netanyahu killed the peace process

Who’s to blame for the continued failure of the Middle East peace process? Former President Bill Clinton said today that it is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — whose government moved the goalposts upon taking power, and whose rise represents a key reason there has been no Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

Clinton, in a roundtable with bloggers today on the sidelines of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, gave an extensive recounting of the deterioration in the Middle East peace process since he pressed both parties to agree to a final settlement at Camp David in 2000. He said there are two main reasons for the lack of a comprehensive peace today: the reluctance of the Netanyahu administration to accept the terms of the Camp David deal and a demographic shift in Israel that is making the Israeli public less amenable to peace.

“The two great tragedies in modern Middle Eastern politics, which make you wonder if God wants Middle East peace or not, were [Yitzhak] Rabin’s assassination and [Ariel] Sharon’s stroke,” Clinton said.

Sharon had decided he needed to build a new centrist coalition, so he created the Kadima party and gained the support of leaders like Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert. He was working toward a consensus for a peace deal before he fell ill, Clinton said. But that effort was scuttled when the Likud party returned to power.

Well Bill, are you ready to say the Turkish PEOPLE rejected the 4th Infantry Division’s presence in 2003 thus enabling 750-100,000 casualties in a civil war?

Are you ready to say that the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza and Egypt is making peace more difficult if not impossible because of the PEOPLE (including PS - palestinians)?

Are you ready to say that Syria remainas the intransigence it has been since 1949?

Are you ready to say that the Iranian people to a large extent WANT the confrontation the govt represent against the jews?

If not Bill, since this is the will of those people, why is Netanyahu, the choice if the Israeli people, who certainly understand what he is about, the problem?

If he is the problem, then the it is the Israeli people who are making peace impossible, along with, of course, the list of peoples above.
