Analysis: Israeli-Palestinian riddle won't answer Middle East's wider woes

By Crispian Balmer

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which once transfixed the Arab world, has lost much of its resonance in a Middle East riven by religious strife, political upheaval and economic woes.

News that the two sides had resumed peace talks last week after a three-year halt was largely overshadowed by turmoil in Egypt and the Syrian civil war, which has set Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims against one another.

U.S. officials still hope that resolving the decades-old confrontation will help to unlock the region's wider problems, but analysts say it no longer lies at the strategic heart of a troubled Middle East.

"That was probably the case before the Arab uprisings, but a number of other struggles have now joined it, such as the Sunni-Shi'ite struggle and an intra-Sunni conflict," said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center think tank.

"The issue is a sideshow now, but it might take center-stage again if there was genuine progress," he said, underscoring deep skepticism in many quarters about the chances of a deal.

Much has changed in the Middle East since the last talks broke down in 2010. Autocratic leaders in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen have been ousted, Islamist radicalism has spread and sectarian warfare between Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims has surged.

More than 100,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict and violence has flared again in Iraq, with over 1,000 killed there in July alone, many at the hands of al Qaeda. Tensions over Iran's disputed nuclear program have also risen, while a struggle for power between Islamists and the military is playing out on the streets of predominantly Sunni Egypt.

Arguably, none of these crises will come any closer to being settled should, by some miracle, Israel and the Palestinians finally agree to divide the land where they live.

LINKAGE

Few people could deny that a resolution of the conflict is long overdue. However, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's devotion of so much energy to the issue, which has been drained of much violence in recent years, has raised some eyebrows given the fires raging elsewhere.

To explain American thinking, you only need listen to retired general James Mattis, head of the U.S. military's Central Command until March. Addressing a security forum in Colorado on July 20, he said U.S. interests were being damaged because of the failure to establish an independent Palestine.

"I paid a military security price every day as the commander of Centcom because the Americans were seen as biased in support of Israel," he said, suggesting that this was holding back moderate Arabs from endorsing U.S. policymaking.

Dore Gold, president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, bristles at such a link. Gold, who used to be a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policy making circle, argues that Arab rhetoric on the issue belies the reality.

"It is ironic that a Western officer would speak about Israel being a source of political difficulty when, under the table, Arab states are seeking closer ties with Israel because of the shared threat coming from Iran," he said.

Despite Iranian denials, Western experts think Shi'ite Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. This alarms many Sunni Arab leaders as much as the Israelis.

A review of thousands of U.S. classified documents posted on the WikiLeaks website suggests that in private, Sunni officials were indeed more interested in discussing Iran and other topics than the fate of the occupied Palestinian Territories.

FRUSTRATIONS

In public, Muslim leaders have traditionally railed against Israel, happy to fan ordinary Arabs' sincere anger about the plight of the Palestinians - and perhaps deflect criticism of their own failure to make badly needed reforms.

Arab leaders can no longer get away with this. The uprisings of the last 2-1/2 years have shown that domestic problems cannot be swept under the carpet. These include a deep economic malaise that a peace deal would do nothing to heal.

According to an International Monetary Fund report from 2012, unemployment in the Middle East and north Africa was the highest in the world. It put the jobless rate amongst youths at about 25 percent, again the worst regional level in the world.

The survey criticized rigid labor laws, overbearing central government and a lack of economic competitiveness, factors in the frustrations that drove the Arab uprisings.

In a 2011 newspaper interview, President Bashar al-Assad said Syria was immune to unrest partly because he had united it in common cause against Israel. It was a hollow claim; just weeks later, violence erupted among Syrians that still rages.

Assad's Lebanese Shi'ite ally, the militant group Hezbollah, is now fighting by his side against the Sunni rebels, wrecking the respect it had won in Sunni circles for its uncompromising confrontation with Israel over more than two decades.

Aware of its battered reputation and the fact that the Arab world is not focused on Israel, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah wrapped himself in the cloak of Palestinian resistance on Friday, issuing a rallying cry for fellow Muslims.

"The elimination of Israel is not only a Palestinian interest. It is the interest of the entire Muslim world and the entire Arab world," he said in a rare appearance in Beirut.

Such thinking suggests that even if the Palestinian leadership does get its wish to create a state on land seized in the 1967 war, this will not satisfy die-hard militants who reject Israel's very right to exist.

CONSPIRACIES

A deal would also not end all anti-Western sentiment in the region. True, it would empty one important reservoir of poison from the relationship, but suspicions of U.S. and European dealings go much deeper than simply their close ties to Israel.

This was laid bare by a 2011 survey conducted in Muslim nations by PewResearch, which showed that a median of 53 percent thought that U.S. and Western policies were one of the top two reasons why Islamic nations were not wealthier.

Likewise, the median saying Westerners were selfish, violent, immoral and arrogant exceeded 50 percent, while there was no Muslim nation in which even 30 percent could accept that Arabs conducted the 9/11 attacks on U.S. cities in 2001.

"The notion of conspiracy is deeply entrenched in the Middle East and we are a central piece of it," said Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. State Department adviser on the peace process, now at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington.

"Nothing in the Middle East that happens that is bad goes unattributed, and a lot of it is placed on us."

While scoffing at the idea that a peace deal could be a panacea for the region's ills, Miller said it would help to protect Israel's diplomatic ties with Egypt and Jordan, where popular anger at the treatment of the Palestinians is deep.

Underlining the importance Washington puts in Jordan's stability, Kerry announced the resumption of the peace talks in its capital, Amman. Egypt, however, has much more to worry about now than the predicament of the Palestinians.

Last year crowds in Cairo's Tahrir Square, celebrating the election of the Islamist Mohamed Mursi as president, chanted: "in millions we shall march to Jerusalem". Today, the square is filled with supporters of the army which ousted Mursi last month.

These Egyptians are preoccupied with their own problems. "Of course a peace agreement would be a blessing from Allah to us and all Arabs, but first we must rid ourselves of the dictators and tyrants who steal from us and bend to the West," said Faris Ismael, the owner of a bakery in downtown Cairo.

Non penso proprio che sia da NBA. Ci sono giocatori molto ma molto pi? forti di lui che sono ancora in Europa. Janning in America farebbe la fine di White, anzi peggio dato che ? pi? scarso

Lui al contrario di White non pu? partecipare alla gara di schiacciate! Poi che senso ha firmare il 2 agosto e mettere l' escape fino al 10, non poteva aspettare il 10 per firmare?

Eric Cantor defends House GOP?s ?Stop Government Abuse? bills

(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) ? House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on Sunday defended GOP efforts last week to pass a series of measures billed as ?Stop Government Abuse? legislation while President Obama was pressing for investments aimed at job growth.

?First of all, government doesn?t create jobs, the private sector does,? Cantor said on ?Fox News Sunday.? ?Stop burdening our economy, that?s what the purpose of these bills were.?

Before leaving town for a five-week recess on Friday, House Republicans voted last week on a?package of bills?in large part responding to recent IRS controversies and the final phases of implementing President Obama?s health-care legislation.

The Republican-sponsored bills would place limits on taxpayer-funded conferences and block the IRS from enforcing the Affordable Care Act, among other proposals.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) last week accused Republicans of playing ?partisan games and advancing political messaging bills? instead of creating jobs before the long recess.

Congressional leaders and the White House showed no signs last week of reaching accord on a new budget before lawmakers left town on Friday.?Congress?s current spending plan ends Oct. 1, creating the prospect of a government shutdown if a funding deal is not struck by then.

House Republicans last week withdrew a measure to continue the deep automatic spending reductions that started this year, while their Senate colleagues killed a proposal to end the sequester and restored funding for transportation and housing.

Tea party plans to abandon GOP stars

By MICHAEL J. MISHAK The Associated Press

MIAMI -- This was not the revolution the tea party had in mind.

Four years ago, the movement and its potent mix of anger and populism persuaded thousands of conservatives to protest the deficit and President Barack Obama's health care law.

The tea party swept a crop of no-compromise lawmakers into Congress and governor's offices and transformed political up-and-comers, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, into household names.

But as many tea party stars seek re-election next year and Rubio considers a 2016 presidential run, conservative activists are finding themselves at a crossroads.

Many of their standard-bearers have embraced more moderate positions on bedrock issues such as immigration and health care, broadening their appeal in swing states but dampening grass-roots passion.

Journ?e des terroirs du Canada : un sondage de BMO d?montre que les Canadiens soutiennent avec vigueur les agriculteurs pr?s de chez eux

- Les perspectives demeurent positives pour les agriculteurs canadiens

- La Journ?e des terroirs du Canada souligne l'importance d'utiliser des aliments cultiv?s au Canada, et de soutenir les agriculteurs et les p?cheurs qui les produisent

MONTR?AL, QU?BEC--(Marketwired - 2 ao?t 2013) - En pr?vision de la Journ?e des terroirs du Canada, qui se tiendra le samedi 3 ao?t prochain, BMO a publi? les r?sultats d'un sondage selon lesquels le fait de soutenir l'?conomie, les agriculteurs et les emplois ? l'?chelle r?gionale, en plus de profiter d'aliments d'une fra?cheur et d'un go?t sup?rieur, compense pour les co?ts plus ?lev?s de la nourriture dans le cas des gens qui font le choix de consommer des produits locaux.

Le rapport publi? ? la suite du sondage r?v?le ?galement quels sont les produits que les Canadiens ach?tent ? l'?chelle locale et pourquoi, et d?montre certaines disparit?s d'une province ? l'autre, sur un certain nombre de produits. Voici les principales raisons qui incitent les Canadiens ? consommer des aliments cultiv?s ? l'?chelle locale :

• la nourriture est plus fra?che et a meilleur go?t (97 pour cent);
• cela soutien l'?conomie locale (97 pour cent);
• cela appuie les agriculteurs de la r?gion (96 pour cent);
• cela cr?e des emplois locaux (93 pour cent);
• c'est meilleur pour l'environnement (88 pour cent);
• cela permet d'acheter des produits biologiques (76 pour cent);
• cela co?te moins cher (71 pour cent).

? Les consommateurs canadiens continuent de profiter d'un secteur agricole stable et solide, offrant des sources alimentaires fiables partout ? l'?chelle du pays ?, a expliqu? David Rinneard, directeur g?n?ral, Services financiers aux agriculteurs et aux agroentreprises, BMO Banque de Montr?al. ? Les r?sultats de ce sondage d?montrent qu'un nombre grandissant de Canadiens appuient vigoureusement leurs producteurs locaux, un mouvement qui permet de dynamiser l'?conomie nationale et de cr?er des emplois. ?

Le mouvement visant ? promouvoir une Journ?e des terroirs du Canada a ?t? cr?? voil? une d?cennie par Anita Stewart, une activiste culinaire de premier plan. Cette journ?e se tiendra en fin de semaine, et durant celle-ci, 280 restaurants de partout au Canada proposeront un menu sp?cial compos? uniquement d'aliments cultiv?s au Canada. Ces chefs de file de la restauration ont adopt? l'utilisation d'ingr?dients canadiens depuis des d?cennies. La Journ?e des terroirs du Canada propose ?galement un guide ? l'intention des cuisiniers amateurs, de sorte que peu importe l'endroit o? ils se trouvent - dans la cuisine, autour du barbecue ou en camping sur le bord de la rivi?re - les Canadiens pourront eux aussi se ? joindre ? la f?te ?, et profiter d'aliments cultiv?s ? l'?chelle locale.

? Les ingr?dients cultiv?s localement repr?sentent un choix de plus en plus populaire, et les Canadiens commencent ? se rendre compte que les aliments de saison ont un meilleur go?t. Cela entra?ne un repositionnement notable de l'ensemble de notre syst?me ?conomique culinaire, ce que les r?sultats de l'?tude publi?e par BMO d?montrent clairement ?, a d?clar? Anita Stewart, pr?sidente et fondatrice, Journ?e des terroirs du Canada. ? Les Canadiens savent qu'en soutenant les producteurs locaux, nous favorisons la diversit? qui nous permet de profiter d'une s?lection d'aliments sains d?s aujourd'hui, et que, ce qui est le plus important, nous aiderons les g?n?rations futures ? en profiter. ?

Selon Aaron Goertzen, ?conomiste, BMO March?s des capitaux, les perspectives concernant le secteur agricole au Canada demeurent positives pour cette ann?e, les conditions de croissance paraissant bonnes dans la r?gion des Prairies, et les prix demeurant sup?rieurs ? la normale pour un certain nombre de cultures-cl?s. Les prix ?lev?s et l'accroissement de la demande en g?n?ral ont permis de r?cup?rer en partie des mauvaises r?coltes de l'ann?e derni?re aux ?tats-Unis, ? la suite de la s?cheresse qui a frapp? le Midwest am?ricain. L'augmentation des stocks ? la suite des r?coltes de cette ann?e - et de la reprise chez les agriculteurs am?ricains - entra?nera probablement une baisse des revenus pour les agriculteurs canadiens, mais elle devrait ?galement contribuer ? r?duire les prix ? la consommation pour les consommateurs nord-am?ricains.

Les r?sultats du sondage, d'un oc?an ? l'autre

Les r?sultats d?montrent par ailleurs des diff?rences marqu?es dans les produits que les Canadiens ach?tent ? l'?chelle locale, en fonction de la disponibilit? des aliments produits localement.
