MID-EAST REALITIES © - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 12/01/01: More than twenty years ago now another American President was promising a complete "settlement freeze" and a "transitional period" leading to a "Palestinian State". The notion that George W. Bush is doing so for the first time, sui generis, is not only blatantly historically fallacious but downright disingenuous. Since then the Americans have pumped more than $100 billion into Israel, not to mention all the death and destruction that was nurtured and ignited by that earlier period in history, now forgotten by many. And now the "Palestinian State" being so duplicitously advocated is not even one that would benefit the Palestinian people -- rather it is one of Israeli/American design complete with imposed police-state regime and apartheid-style restrictions designed to permanently corral the fractured Palestinian people onto controlled reservations while ending their historical rights as previously detailed in dozens of U.N. resolutions going back to 1948.
Mohamed Ibrahim Kamel died a few days ago in Cairo. He was the Foreign Minister of Egypt at Camp David I in 1978. He had been a friend of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for some 40 years. He resigned rather than be associated with the lies and deceptions of his day. In an exclusive in-depth interview Mark Bruzonsky discussed this period of history with Kamel in his home in Cairo in 1984. It is a period of history that must be understood and appreciated if one is to understand and appreciate what has happened since, and what is happening now.
