Nigh Unto Jew-Level Arrogance Makes a Poor Foreign Policy

[We’re the second state to join the Israeli union, hey add a star, throw a party. What arrogance. Look from jew to American to jew, you can hardly see the difference any longer. We don’t like who people vote for, so we stop speaking to them? Is that the way to conduct foreign policy, or is that simply the directions from headquarters.
What ever happened to leaving others alone as as viable foreign policy? The jews denounce those who mind their own business as isolationists, but when has the U.S. been more isolated than today? When more hated – and justifiably? What will be left of the U.S. when the jews are done with it?]
US bans meetings with Hamas
By Sharmila Devi in Ramallah, West Bank
The US administration banned its officials on Wednesday night from meeting the Islamist group Hamas, as the new Palestinian government was sworn in and while Israel’s centrist Kadima party opened talks to form a coalition after winning the largest number of seats in Knesset elections.
US officials in the region were instructed by e-mail on Wednesday to have no contacts with Palestinian ministries from 6pm last night.
Canada also announced last night it was suspending assistance to the Palestinian Authority because the new Hamas-led government refused to renounce violence and recognise Israel.
The US brands Hamas a terrorist organisation and bans all contact with the group. But the impact of that policy will become more severe with Hamas now in government.
Washington wants Hamas, which won by a landslide in Palestinian elections in January, to recognise Israel, renounce violence and abide by previously signed peace accords before it will consider a change in attitude.

Well, you know who runs the diamond trade in both Russia and the U.S. If not, visit the jewelry mart in L.A. and look at a few profiles.
