Latest Update: 11.29.07, 13:12 / Israel News"Why doesn't anyone want to shake my hand?" she asked. "Why doesn't anyone want to be seen speaking to me?" With these words, Foreign Ministry Tzipi Livni turned to Arab foreign ministers in a closed meeting during the Annapolis conference. They were directed at Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal.
The meeting was reported by the Washington Post on Wednesday, which provided some of the details.
Frans Timmermans, the Dutch Minister for European Affairs, said Livni told Arab foreign ministers to stop treating her as a pariah.
"They shun her like she is Count Dracula's younger sister," he is quoted as saying.
The Saudi foreign minister stated before the conference that he would not shake hands with any Israeli during the conference, claiming that doing so would only be an act of showmanship.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was quoted by the Post as discussing her upbringing in the segregated American south.
"Like the Israelis, I know what it is like to go to sleep at night, not knowing if you will be bombed, of being afraid to be in your own neighborhood, of being afraid to go to your church," Rice told attendants, according to the Washington Post. She discussed the bombing of black church by white supremacists, which resulted in the death of four girls.
Rice also expressed empathy with Palestinians, saying:" I know what it is like to hear to that you cannot go on a road or through a checkpoint because you are Palestinian… I understand the feeling of humiliation and powerlessness."
"There is pain on both sides… This has gone on too long," Rice said.
The Arabs have shown their true face, as has Condi.
The Arabs can't get past their hatred of Jews, exposing the Annapolis talks and every other peace summit for the joke that they are.
These talks are nothing more than a way to take Jewish land and weaken Israel. They weaken Israel by taking away support for Israel in the international community.
They also weaken Israel by allowing morally weak self hating Jews to delude themselves into thinking peace is possible. These useful idiots then form a willing fifth column in Israel to divide and weaken Israel internally. Some of these idiots even become Prime Minister and members of the Knesset.
As far as Condi she has once again shown herself to be a stupid individual that can't tell evil from good. If the FBI had not stepped in and investigated the acts of the KKK, they would still be bombing black churches in the south.
But in Israel she feels the pain of the people doing the bombings and thinks that steps Israel take to save lives results in humiliation and a feeling of powerlessness.
Again I don't care what we need to do to save Jewish lives, it all is OK, by me.
If it makes the Palestinians feel humiliation and powerless I don't care.
If the Palestinians want to feel empowered let them all get up one day at 3:00am and go kill all the terrorist that are part of their society . The Palestinians can then ask Israel after they have shown us the dead, if after 20 years of no Jews being hurt or murdered at the hands of Arabs if we can then build a future together in the Middle East.
We all know this will never happen, so we must fight.
