UN Secretary General: I Will Ask the General Assembly … to Strip Israel of its Membership !!

NuggetNetReview Editors Note: The following is a direct quote from the UN Secretary General, not endorsed by NuggetNetReview.
For me, as Secretary–General, looking back on where the UN started and where it is now has a special importance, for I am now charged with guiding the world body through unknown and uncertain territory. “Terrorism” has long since replaced “arms control” and “détente” as the focus of international security, yet the term defies definition. One country’s terrorist is another country’s revolutionary hero. Some insist that terrorists are opposed to democracy, but we have all seen democracies behave like terrorists.
In many ways, the world today does not seem to be very removed from the barbarity of world war. The invasion of Iraq has lasted longer than World War II, and more tons of bombs have been dropped on that poor country than all the bombs dropped in that great war. The International Declaration of Human Rights, so prized and venerated by men and women of honour everywhere, stands as an impotent relic of a forgotten time because conquest, cruelty, and arrogance are still with us and growing stronger…more of his speach…
Israel Ups War Training Despite US Discontent

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is training against warplanes in service with Arab nations and Iran amid worries in the White House that Tel Aviv would start a war without US consent.
The IAF has trained against Soviet-designed MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters — loaned to Israel by an unidentified foreign country — to prepare its pilots for missions where they might have to fight a foreign air force, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
The MIG 29, one of the fighter jets used by Arab countries and Iran, has been developed to counter American-made jets such the F-16, used by the IAF.
“We have studied them and are using them to practice dog fights. It is a good opportunity to see how effective our Air Force can be in dealing with a possible adversary,” an Israeli test pilot told the channel…more…

Words matter in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
That’s why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to say “two-state solution” could make for a rocky start in U.S. President Barack Obama’s first major foray into Middle East diplomacy.
Obama meets Netanyahu at the White House on Monday and will host Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak later this month as part of a promised effort to revive the long-stalled Middle East peace process…more…
Obama Embarks on Peace in the Middle East

MARK COLVIN: The Obama administration is about to venture onto the difficult foreign policy task of trying to negotiate an Arab-Israeli peace deal.
Over the next two weeks Barack Obama will hold a series of meetings with the leaders of Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority. The administration has already made it clear that it’s determined to avoid delays as it pursues its goal of a two state solution in the Middle East.
KIM LANDERS: President Barack Obama is promising long term, top level US engagement in the Middle East and the White House says he’s “optimistic” about the prospects for progress in the stalled Arab-Israeli peace process.
Over the next fortnight, President Obama will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who’s now the Middle East envoy on behalf of the United Nations, the European Union, the US and Russia says the new Obama administration is providing an opportunity not to be missed.
TONY BLAIR: I would say up until the end of this year, there is a critical window of opportunity and it would be sensible for us to pass through it…more…
Another Sign of Integrated North America

Electronic system registers truckers in U.S., Canada
Signs showing an integrated North America have begun showing up on U.S. Interstate highways for NORPASS, a new electronic system that allows participating truckers in Canada and the U.S. to by-pass roadside weigh stations through the use of a transponder mounted on the windshield.
The NORPASS website describes the organization as “a partnership of state and provincial agencies and trucking industry representatives who are committed to promoting safe and efficient trucking throughout North America.”
Truckers that register to participate in NORPASS receive a small transponder that signals to a computer in participating weigh stations. As the participating truck approaches the NORPASS weigh station, a roadside reader detects the transponder and a computer in the weigh station checks the truck’s credentials.
If the truck is certified, the NORPASS transponder signals a green light, allowing the driver to bypass the station. If a problem is detected, a red light flashing on the transponder indicates a need for the truck to stop and be checked.
