‘Conflict, injustice, occupation’ — and especially the Israeli-Palestinian stalemate — have prevented progress, says Ban; our conflict is not the core Arab issue, Israel responds By Raphael Ahren January 21, 2013, 8:19 pm- Quote:

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday appeared to hold Israel partially responsible for lack of progress in the Arab world.
“Development in the Arab region has also been held back by protracted conflict, injustice and occupation. The stalemate in the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis is especially troubling,” Ban stated in a message to the Third Arab Economic and Social Development Summit, currently taking place in Saudi Arabia. http://www.timesofisrael.com/un-chief-blames-israel-for-arab-world-stagnation/

the bible says something about blind guides - don't know it it really fits or not but I thought about that. I guess I'm just wondering how they explain the lack of progress, freedom and the wars before Israel officially became a nation. If Israel didn't exist like some sort of pressure valve in the region (they agree to hate Israel) - the Muslim nations there would be at war with each other.
People like Ban have a darkness pulled over their eyes and they're influencing others to walk with them

Surprise! Surprise! It's Israel's fault. So what else is new? By any other name, it's called anti-semitism. Oh I know they use the silly phrases "it's not the Jews I hate, it's Israel" - well duh :sigh That's like saying, it's not Americans I hate, it's just America! It's anti-semitism, plain and simple, just packaged up to sound nicer to the "tickled" ear. :sad

They always come up with something to blame Israel for, they must not be smart enough to figure out the real problem.
