Peace Process? What Peace Process?
By: P. John
Let’s get straight to the point.
Whatever the euphoria surrounding the recent prisoner exchange and Gadaffi’s death, the Middle East Peace Process is still out there and nothing is happening. Indeed if international pressure forces the two sides back to the negotiating table, with the same cast of characters and no new ideas, the whole peace process could find itself completely dead and buried.

So you remain comfortably principled, small and largely uninfluential — if you
Inability and Failure settles within the Israeli Leadership before Palestine’s bid for State
It seems that the Israeli leadership did not understand until this moment what is the reason behind the Palestinian bid for recognition of the Palestinian State in the Un.

Prime Minister Netanyahu whose refusal to make any development in the peace process resulted in pushing the Palestinian Leadership to reconsider the whole negotiations strategy and decide to address the International community to be responsible and make an action regarding the occupation that the Palestinian is still living everyday.
The Middle East Changes and Israel’s Denial of it
Deterrence Power…a power that the Israeli leadership and army considered the main tool it can use to keep on being the strongest country in the Middle East.
Most of the Israeli army former wars were justified by claiming that unless Israel holds the strongest army and continues on achieving what it considered military victory it will never succeed in assuring the security of its people. Those who built this strategy many years ago did not consider a possible change in the regimes of the Arab world and the leadership of countries that in the past used to be allies of Israel.
