Remember The Elders, aka The Elders of Moron, a bunch of has-beens who think they know what is best for the world and the Middle East?
They have issued the following press release.
The Elders welcome Paris conference as step towards two-state solution for Israel-Palestine
The Elders call for decisive international engagement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and secure a lasting peace based on a two-state solution.
The Elders welcome the international conference being convened in Paris on 3 June by the French Government, aimed at reviving efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The last 18 months have seen worsening violence, a hardening of political rhetoric and a diplomatic impasse. The international community must push decisively to shift the dynamics on the ground and secure lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike. A two-state solution that respects international law, addresses legitimate security concerns and upholds human rights remains the only way forward.
Kofi Annan, Chair of The Elders, said:
“This conference is an opportunity to revitalise international engagement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After so many decades of conflict, people deserve to live in peace and dignity. This requires an end to occupation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people. The Elders call on all those involved to work constructively and in good faith towards this goal.”
The Elders note the conflicts raging in much of the wider Middle East and argue this makes it even more important that diplomatic efforts for a two-state solution are intensified.
Notice how the only requirement the Kofi Annan identifies is “an end to occupation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people.” Israelis right to security is somehow not a consideration.
Peanut boy Jimmy Carter, now an “Honorary Elder” since he resigned, weighs in:
“The world cannot afford to forget about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestinians continue to be denied justice and human rights, and their leaders remain divided and disengaged from the search for lasting peace. This stokes resentment and support for extremism across the region. Equally, Israelis are ill-served by a government that promotes illegal settlements and flouts international law.”
This is even worse! He also mentions the palestinians’ so-called denial of justice, but also what the Israelis are suffering from – which is, according to him, their government! Somehow, the constant stabbing attacks and other forms of terrorism are not worthy of mention.
People like The Elders only make matters worse, by emboldening terrorists and undermining the real victims.
They need to retire in dignity and shut their pieholes.
