GRITtv: Norman Finkelstein: Results, Not Rhetoric:

"Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussing their countries' foreign relations resembles two lovers discussing their future together. Though they have squabbled in the past over trivial things (things like settlement expansion that most other countries deem flagrant violations of international law), their July 6th meeting at the White House showed that their 'unbreakable bond' cannot be shaken. Norman Finkelstein joins us in the studio to report that one should judge the alleged 'peace process' with results, not rhetoric. Obama has certainly given enough lip service to settlement moratoriums, proximity talks, and direct talks, but what are the results? Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, there are three times as many settlers and Israel has annexed 42% of Palestinian land for even more expansion. Though Obama waxes eloquently about 'direct negotiations,' there are no signs of Israel withdrawing to the 1967 borders that would only begin to indicate a successful peace process.
