Address by His Majesty King Abdullah II - Joint Meeting of Congress
Yes, my friends, today I must speak. I cannot be silent.
Sixty years of Palestinian dispossession, forty years under occupation, a stop-and-go peace process, all this has left a bitter legacy of disappointment and despair, on all sides. It is time to create a new and different legacy, one that begins right now; one that can set a positive tone for the American and Middle East relationship; one that can restore hope to our region's people, to your people, and to the people of this precious world. Nothing can achieve that more effectively, nothing can assert America's moral vision more clearly, nothing can reach and teach the world's youth more directly, than your leadership in a peace process that delivers results not next year, not in five years, but this year.
How do we get there? Not by a solution imposed by one side. A lasting peace can only be built on understanding, agreement and compromise.
It begins with courage and vision. We, all of us, must take risks for peace. The Arab states recognized that reality in 2002, when we unanimously approved the Arab Peace Initiative. It puts forward a path for both sides, to achieve what people want and need: a collective peace treaty with Israel and normal relations with every Arab state, collective security guarantees for all the countries of the region, including Israel, an end to the conflict, a dream every Israeli citizen has longed for since the creation of Israel, and an agreed solution to the refugee problem, a withdrawal from Arab territories occupied since 1967, and a sovereign, viable, and independent Palestine.
The commitment we made in the Arab Peace Initiative is real. And our states are involved in ongoing efforts to advance a fair, just, and comprehensive peace. His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia initiated the 2002 proposal; today, he continues to rally international support. Momentum is also building among Muslim countries outside the Arab world. Ten days ago, in Islamabad, the foreign ministers of key Muslim states met. They came together to assure Palestinians and Israelis that they are not alone, that we back their effort to make and build peace.
SUPPORT FOR SAUDI PEACE INITIATIVE:
A statement signed by more than 100 leading Israeli and Palestinian figures on Saturday, in anticipation of the coming Arab League summit, noted that the Arab Peace Initiative "provides all interested and concerned parties with a comprehensive solution process in order to solve all the aspects of the Middle East conflict."

The Israeli signatories included former Cabinet officials, current and former Knesset Members from a range of political parties, leading writers and intellectual figures, high ranking former security officials, and veteran Peace Now leaders. Similarly, the Palestinian signatories include former Cabinet-level officials, members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and an array of intellectual leaders.
Только не бывать этому. Как сказала сегодня одна моя сослуживица, мудрая женщина из Ирана, "пока Америка остается мировым жандармом, она не ослабит своей железной хватки на Ближнем Востоке, и мира там никогда не будет."
Вот и все. А все эти шовинистские вопли - шелуха, вторичное. Они служат только одной цели - раскрасить грустную реальность в радужные цвета строительства Великой Родины. Чтобы Deir Yassin massacre и другие зверства на фоне великой национальной идеи не выглядели чем-то ужасным и превратились в повседневную, скучную рутину.
Lemur, мне вот это место понравилось. Надеюсь, не возражаете:
Пластилиновый дяденька полковник
Лепит пластилиновый батальон,
Пластилиновый дяденька чиновник
Лепит пластилиновый закон!
Как прекрасен этот странный мир
С пластилиновой мечтой
Пластилиновые люди в нем
С пластилиновой душой.
Лепят нас как могут, как хотят.
Хотят- милуют, хотят- казнят.
Нет здесь радости, нету здесь невзгод,
Здесь живет пластилиновый народ
