Untenable position. 40 years of onesided american diplomacy aimed at achieving regional and International Acceptance for israel, thus peversely produced the very opposite. Increasing International Isolation and a program for the jewish state. We will now cover israels back as the saying goes as the United Nations as its angoing maltreatment and intermittent muggings of its captive arab population complete its international delegitimization and ostracism.

The priorities today are swift halting of classes and violence, establishing peaceful halting of clashes and violence, and establishing peace. Sir, i was going to conclude here, but i just have a comment to make. It seems to me that todays meeting was not going to be controversial. However, the u. S. Representative chose a literary track. Perhaps washington does not know about those efforts which russia has undertaken in the frame of the context group, among other things, to ensure that International Experts can come to the area of the crash site as swiftly as possible.
