Methinks there is a great story of intrigue in this possible political bombshell.<br /><br />One clue maybe that Russia and the UN have never provided any financial support to the Office of the Quartet between 2007-2014. Even tiny Australia has kicked in $387125 in that period. Did it understand how its money was being spent in promoting the interests of just one side to the dispute?David Singer -https://www.blogger.com/profile/18281274914728257734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-37595213220590877812016-02-10T11:12:55.191+11:002016-02-10T11:12:55.191+11:00My apologies to you and David, Borhani.

I'm not, in any way, questioning what you wrote. Rather, I was simply expressing my surprise, at myself, for having missed this regrettable change in the Quartet's goals. I think I missed it because I was paying far more attention to soaking up the beautiful land, people, and cultures of Israel, during a long visit there last July, than to what the Brits were doing to embarrass themselves.borhanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498562348810596899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-4702048201494460302016-02-08T23:23:04.243+11:002016-02-08T23:23:04.243+11:00The DMZ is 4 kilometers wide and there are 200000 ...The DMZ is 4 kilometers wide and there are 200000 American soldiers based in South Korea to protect Mr Ban and his family.<br /><br />Israel does not ask for such sacrifice from America as Israel's own civilian population face the prospect of being murdered every day by their Arab neighbours.<br /><br />Ban's comments were disgraceful. What is more disgraceful was the failure of the Security Council and the Quartet to categorically rebuke Ban and refute his reprehensible remarks.
