-->Top Israelis, Americans at Saban session
Top Israeli and U.S. officials will meet this weekend in closed session.
The Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, a think tank funded by Israeli-American millionaire Haim Saban and headed by former top U.S. Middle East envoy Martin Indyk, is hosting the three-day session in Washington.
Among the many officials attending are Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni; David Welch, the current top U.S. envoy to the region; Shimon Peres, Israel’s deputy prime minister; Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and her husband, former President Bill Clinton; Amos Yadlin, director of Israel’s military intelligence; Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s minister of strategic planning; and many other Bush administration officials and U.S. and Israeli lawmakers

Interesting a hopeful presidential candidate, and her former president husband, will be rubbing elbows with the likes of Avigdor Lieberman, who “advocates Transfer, the expulsion of the Arab citizens from Israel,” according Uri Avnery, Israeli journalist, peace activist, and Knesset member. “He threatened to destroy Egypt by blowing up the Aswan Dam. He demanded the execution of the Israeli Arab Knesset members for meeting with Syrian and Hamas leaders.” But this is nothing new, Avnery shrugs, because “Rehavam Ze’evi, whose memory was honored … by a special commemoration session of the Knesset, proposed ethnic cleansing, and General Effi Eytam, the chief of the National Union party, uses similar language.” In other words, ethnic cleansing is business as normal in Israel.
Imagine Bill and Hill embracing a Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and attending a “Klonvocation,” a gathering of racists. In essence, this is what they will be doing when they go behind Saban’s closed doors with Lieberman and crew.
“Haim Saban has been a very good friend, supporter and adviser to me,” effused Bill Clinton in 2004. “I am grateful for his commitment to Israel, to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to my foundation’s work, particularly on reconciliation issues.”
Lasting peace, naturally, translates into more dead Palestinians, more Palestinian refugees, more malnourished Palestinians, more targeted assassinations, more demolished homes and flattened olive groves.

The end will be: more confrontation for Iran, Syria and Libanon less (?) for Iraq.
