Crimson > Jaballah hoped that the anti-war groups in Europe and US would encourage the US administration to free itself from Zionist lobby in its foreign policy. Nice thought but there's no chance it will happen. The US administration is totally committed to the service of Zionism and the furtherance of its policies. jpost.com >>In a remarkable show of support for one of America's most important Jewish organizations, US President George W. Bush, German Chancellor Andrea Merkel and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan attended a gala event here Thursday marking the centennial of the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Bush vowed to maintain the strong ties between the US and Israel. "America's commitment to Israel's security is strong, enduring and unshakable," Bush said. The president said his thoughts and prayers were with former prime minister Ariel Sharon, whom he called "a man of courage, and a man of peace." Bush reiterated the US commitment not to negotiate with Hamas before the organization accepts the conditions set forth by the international community and recognizes Israel's right to exist. He stressed that even though the Hamas was democratically elected to lead the Palestinian Authority, the US was not obliged to deal with the group. "Democratic leaders cannot have one foot in the camp of democracy and one foot in the camp of terror," the president told the appreciative audience. Bush underlined the concern of the international community over Iran's nuclear ambitions and stressed the need to build a united diplomatic front against Iran. "The objective among America, our European allies, Russia and China is to deny Iran a nuclear weapon," Bush said. Merkel, who came to Washington especially for the AJC conference, shared Bush's concern over Iran and called for a concerted international effort to prevent Teheran from building nuclear weapons.<< > He said that Islamic nations should exercise solidarity to neutralize the conspiracy of the Zionist lobby which is pitting Washington against the Muslim World. No chance that will happen either. The Islamic nations are notable by doing nothing for any of their "bretheren" who requires their help. One needs no better example than the plight of the Palestinians to highlight this.
