Tzipi Livni returns to Israel politics with new party
 
Quote:

The former Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, has announced her return to politics as the head of a new party.

Ms Livni said "The Movement" would contest January's general election on a manifesto that included the pursuit of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

She said she would appeal to "people who do not have anyone to vote for."

Ms Livni served as foreign minister from 2006 to 2009. She resigned from parliament in May after losing the leadership of the Kadima party.
Change in country?

Israel has a new defense weapon coming out in 2014

What happens if Hamas accidently fires a rocket with
WMD in it and they blow it up all over Israel (not good)

"David's Sling," also known "Magic Wand," is developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems
and U.S.-based Raytheon Co. and is primarily designed to counter the large arsenal of Hezbollah rockets in Lebanon.

The military said the program, which is on schedule for deployment in 2014, would "provide an additional layer of
defense against ballistic missiles."
Don't forget 2017 is the 70th year of statehood and the 50th year of the occupation,
a very important date I would think, but then I thought
2007 or 2011 would be important.

Hope I'm wrong :yep:

Hopefully Israeli intelligence would learn of it before it could be launched but either way I should imagine Israel would respond proportionally.

A small detail in the latest IAEA report on Iran, seems to have rang alarm bells again that now everybody either tries to mute, or to play down. I am no nuclear engineer, but it had soemthign to do with nuclear material being removed from an installation and put into some separate bassin, which, so the article that I read has explained, is a strong indication that they plan and have the capacity to win up to 300 kg not of weapon-usable uranium, but plutonium within a short time. Further it was said that the removal, which already has been completed, slaps the Russians into their face since they delivered the original material and guaranteed to replace it in time and keep it under "control", as they claimed, so that what Iran just did never would happen. It also seems that Iran is so bitterly determined to get the bomb that they even risk for it to lose Russia's support. That determination is no surprise for me, but it is claimed to be a surprise for Western "diplomats".

Not surprised that stuff like that happens everyday, in these times.

If Iran looses Russian support there may be a speeding up of the clock on deciding what action to take against them as a consequence.

In the last moment, Germany has fallen to cowardice again, and just stayed "neutral". Before yesterday it was planned to vote with "no". But that would mean to not be liked by certain precious countries.

Next station for the Palestinian Arabs: UN High Courts. Station after that: sueing Israel over almost everything, like the SC and the UN already get mass-bombed by resolutions and demands that are driven by Islamic countries and that try to desintegrate Israel. The Palestinians will feel encouraged to continue with their total denial of compromises and just putting up maximum demands.

Israel I think will from now on just ignore Abbas even more, and forever. Obama will try to press the Israelis, the Israelis will turn even more icy on him. Germany's foreign joke Westerwelle will continue to babble about this ancient, long since dead term, the "peace process". There has been none worth the term since 20 years or so, but what is reality under the eyes of a stupid, narcissistic politician like Westerwelle?

I see a small but possible 5% chance or so that Israel in case of more UN actions by Abbas will invade the Westbank again, to confront the Israel-hostile international climate with solid facts on the ground. And maybe forcing Fatah government into exile from the Westbank. Not their favourite option, I assume, but a possibility.
