Arlene Kushner On "Talks" With Iran and The Case Of The IDF Assault On The ISM Provovateur

From Arlene Kushner:
April 17, 2012
"Absurdity"

It passes for diplomacy these days, but its hallmarks are pretense, illogic, and a self-serving posture.  Not an aberration, it has become something of a widespread norm.

Prime Minister Netanyahu -- whom I am not accusing of being absurd in this context, but quite the contrary -- actually had the temerity to speak the truth with regard to the "negotiations" between the six powers and Iran.  What he said was:
"...my initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie. It has got five weeks to continue enrichment without any limitation, any inhibition."
~~~~~~~~~~

But Obama wasn't having it.  The US, he declared, "has not given anything away."  While he believed there was still room for diplomacy, he would not allow the talks to become a "stalling process."

NGO Monitor Statement on Confrontation Between IDF Officer and ISM Activists

PRESS RELEASE

JERUSALEM - A YouTube video released by the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) provides evidence of unnecessary use of force on April 14 by an IDF officer in a confrontation initiated by ISM members.

In immediate response, the IDF spokesperson released a statement calling the event a "serious incident" and announced an investigation. The head of the Central Command suspended the officer, and the actions were condemned by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Ganz.

Prof. Gerald Steinberg, president of NGO Monitor, stated: "The evidence, as depicted on the video, shows the use of gratuitous physical violence by a commander of the IDF patrol in response to the ISM-led provocation. The quick and clear responses of the Israeli government and military officials to the incident demonstrate that credible evidence of violations is dealt with in a professional and responsible manner. The investigation conducted by the IDF should examine all available evidence, including any video material edited out of the posted YouTube version, as well as the behavior of the ISM group."
