First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Comments about Kelty Grizzly Backpack - Camouflage:
For the money this pack is tough to beat. It is roomy, comfortable and feels tough. My only complaint is that the straps don't hold as securely as I would like. They tend to loosen under tension so the pack doesn't fit as snuggly as I would like.

A 16-year-old Canfield High School student was charged after police said he made inappropriate contact and sexual comments to another male classmate.
The accused, of Hickory Hollow Drive, was charged Thursday by Canfield police with delinquency by way of disorderly conduct and delinquency by way of menacing, both fourth-degree misdemeanors.
The accuser, 15, of Greenmont Drive, told police he arrived at history class Tuesday to find the accused resting his feet on the seat of his chair. He said that when he asked the accused to move his feet, he refused and said, "If you sit on my feet I will knock your teeth out," according to a police report.
The accuser said he moved his desk forward and sat down, but the accused began rubbing his foot on the his backside, according to the report. The accused denied this action to police and said he put his foot only on the accuser's back.
The accused then began making inappropriate comments, asking him to perform sexual acts on him, the report stated. Police took witness statements from at least six students who said they saw what was happening and heard many of the comments.
District Superintendent Dante Zambrini said the school district investigated the allegations and followed proper disciplinary procedures. Zambrini wouldn't comment on the accused's specific punishment.
"In cases of this type, we follow school procedure, and in this case, all of those guidelines were followed," he said.
Zambrini said in a case such as this, the punishment could include detention, in-school suspension or out-of-school suspension. He said he believes the building principal took the appropriate course of action.
"We investigate every allegation and research ... both sides of the story," he said.
Its newsworthy because punks like that have been bullying other kids for way to long, causing emotional and physical scars on countless kids that never heal and in extreme cases suicide, and they need to be shown that that behavior will not be tolerated. Way to go Canfield!!!
@ joesmoe I agree with you. Which makes me question why he's being charged with delinquency instead of assault, battery, and sexual imposition?
I'm sure he was charged with delinquency to keep this all in the juvenile system so there's no record of this when he turns 18.
This thug will have a long relationship with the law. Might as well get him used to it now instead of slapping him on the wrist.
Let him sit in a jail cell downtown for a while where he can meet some real tough guys. They would be more than happy to take him up on all of his sexual invitations.
I have been confronted with this situation in another county school district. I went with the mother's child who was being bullied to speak to the Superintendent. Nothing was done to help the child who was being bullied sexually nor was the student who made the sexual remarks disciplined...why? He was a jock. The situation continues....mother needs to make a report with the police! Schools have policies which are never implemented.
What I think is interesting about this article is this: this sort of thing happens on a daily basis in Youngstown Public Schools and in Boardman Schools and in Austintown Schools - if you don't believe me, just ask your children. What's interesting is that this was considered to be newsworthy because it happened in Canfield and the rest of us out here in the dregs of the Mahoning Valley all know that there are no problems in Canfield.
Stop the bullies! Way to go Canfield!
While ther is no reason to doubt that the schools handled the situation, the paper does not tell us what the schools actually did.
In reality, the only reason this made the paper is becase someone made a police report and my guess is that it was not the school, but the victims parents that did.
I wonder what did the school actually did do. Unless there was or has been a pattern with this bully I bet they did no more than a 1 day out of school suspension. I would shoot for 3 days, what do you all think is a suitable punishment?
@ justonevoice :
It is not newsworthy because it happend in Canfield. It would hit the newspaper in every other community if parents and administration stood up to put a stop to it. Canfield is setting the standard and stepping up to protect children. If all the other communities follow suit instead of pushing it under the rug then all students would have a better experienc and maybe learn. I am glad this boy and his family stood up for what is right and didn't allow this bully to run his own agenda in that school system!
Only reason Canfield school did anything is becaust the police department called in This hasing has gon on for years, teachers refust to do anything to the bullies. Are they too afraid??
Canfield police usually publish their reports in the Town Crier so this would have come out anyway once the parents filed a charge. They probably did that if they weren't satisfied with the punishment the school handed out. I don't know the facts of the case and I certainly wouldn't judge by what's in the Vindy, but bullying of any nature, sexual or not, is a serious offense and schools are required by law to have a policy on it.
@ Reader
"Canfield is setting the standard and stepping up to protect children". Yeah, again, the rest of us out here in the dregs and ghettos of Youngstown, Boardman and Austintown really don't care too much about our kids. We're all just unemployed crackheads living on the government dime. Thank God we have the good citizens of Canfield to show us the way.
Apparently, you didn't get my point Reader. My point was this, the rest of us DO protect our children, we DO report incidents of harassment, we DO report indicents of bullying- unfortunately-IT doesn't make the paper. My point was, only because it was Canfield was it felt to be deemed newsworthy.
It's called sarcasm. Ever heard of it?
A couple of more years and this gay boy will be beyond the Juvenile Justice System . In the real world his actions will have some serious consequences . He is on the right path to perish in this world and for eternity .
If you walk into any school in Canfield, you will see a sign that says "Bullying is not in the Cards." Despite the claims of the superintendent, school administrators and some parents in Canfield, bullying is rife in Canfield. The policies of the school district that are supposed to stop this behavior are not uniformly or strictly enforced.
This article minimizes the severity of the incident. This incident occurred in the presence of two teachers; the regular classroom teacher and an intervention teacher. The room was filled with a classroom of students. This incident occurred in the immediate presence of three students who sat by while the victim was tortured by graphic, vulgar sexual comments and threats.
The victim did nothing to provoke this incident. He has been the victim of relentless and repeated bullying. He simply wanted to go to history class to learn. He was deprived of his right to learn in a safe, tolerant academic environment.
The student who committed the harassment was given 3 days of in-school suspension. He was allowed to roam the school freely in the mornings and was allowed to proceed through the school lunch line. He used this opportunity to further frighten and intimidate the victim.
The police charges were filed to stop the cycle of bullying and to send a message to the school and to Canfield students that abuse of the victim will not be tolerated.
There is no one single solution to bullying. It requires a continued, concerted effort by the home, school and the broader community. Parents must be held responsible for the actions of their children and the school must have policies that protect and respect the rights of all students to a safe, academic climate free of bullying. Tolerance, respect, and recognition of individual dignity and differences must be taught to everyone.

China seeks jailed former tycoon who fled country
Published on Feb 24, 2014 7:23 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - Chinese authorities are looking for a former drinks tycoon who bribed his way out of jail and fled the country after being sentenced to 15 years in prison for embezzling millions of dollars in public funds, state media said on Monday.
Zhang Hai, former president and chief executive of the sports drink maker Jianlibao Group, was found guilty of misappropriating 206 million yuan (S$43 million) in 2007.
But through bribery and the fabrication of documents to prove his good behaviour, Zhang was released in 2011 and promptly went overseas with his girlfriend Huang Lu, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
"Related departments are now trying to arrest and extradite Zhang and Huang," Xinhua said, citing a statement from the state prosecutor's office, without saying which country they are suspected of having gone to.

Hi. My name is Marilla. I was named by a couple of little boys and their family who fostered me after my rescue. I am named after a street in their neighborhood!
My story is one that made the news back in 2009. I was one of over 100 rabbits rescued from a very sad situation in San Jose. We were all living in a very large warren on the grounds of a school in The Moreland school district in San Jose. It's said that about 10 years ago a teacher at the school abandoned two bunnies on the school property. Over the years the bunnies did what unaltered bunnies do and bred until their were hundreds of rabbits.
Not too longer after, cruelty set in and some teens were shooting and torturing the rabbits and other people let their dogs chase and kill the bunnies. There were dead bunnies all over and it was an incredibly tragic situation.
Several rescue groups joined together to help trap us, bring us to warm and safety and get us spayed and neutered.
It has been truly remarkable for people to see how gentle, sweet and loving we are despite our sad start. Our group is know as the "Moreland Rescue."
We are very social rabbits and are living in a group. We would be very lonely as a solo bunny, so must be adopted in pairs or as a companion to another rabbit.
Please meet me and my friends soon!

Zoning Task Force tackles medical marijuana issues
LACONIA — The Zoning Task Force yesterday neared agreement on a proposed ordinance to regulate a medical marijuana dispensary in the event that someone should apply to operate one in the city in accordance with statute authorizing the use of the drug to treat a specified number of medical conditions.
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has invited requests for proposals to operate Alternative Treatment Centers (ACTs) in four geographic zones, one of which consists of Belknap, Strafford and Rockingham counties. Each ACT would be licensed to dispense and cultivate marijuana, as well as process the plant into edible products. With the support of DHHS, legislation (Senate Bill 22) has been introduced that would enable each licensed dispensary, with the approval of the department, to operate one satellite facility, which could only dispense, not cultivate or process, marijuana.
Planning Director Shanna Saunders told the task force that although the city manager had an informal inquiry from a prospective applicant in the summer, she anticipated that a dispensary was more likely to be located in a more heavily populated part of the designated region, which includes the cities of Portsmouth, Dover, Rochester and Somersworth. However, she said that DHHS has advised her that applications close at the end of this month and it intends to narrow its selections by the end of next month in anticipation that the dispensaries will open six months later.
Sanders recalled that in 2008, when Metro Treatment of New Hampshire sought to operate a methadone clinic in the city, there were no appropriate zoning ordinances in place, adding that she did not want the city to find itself in the same situation again.
Saunders said that DHHS has issued 70 pages of rules governing the ownership and operation of the facilities, but where and when such a facility could operate are questions for the city to address. Rather than propose different regulations for dispensing, cultivating and processing, she suggested the same regulation apply to all three.
Saunders recommended that ACTs be confined to the Industrial Park, Industrial and Airport Industrial districts and prohibited elsewhere. The Industrial Park District refers to the O'Shea Industrial Park on Lexington Drive. There are three Industrial Districts in downtown, two beyond the south end and another near the north end of Union Avenue. The Airport Industrial District lies east of White Oaks Road and borders the Gilford town line. Acts would be prohibited in residential districts and within 1,000 feet of schools, daycare centers and places of worship. The dispensaries would be allowed to operate between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Michael Foote wondered why marijuana could not be cultivated in districts where agriculture is permitted. Saunders explained that marijuana would be grown indoors in large buildings and, in light of security considerations, these facilities should not be isolated in rural areas.
Warren Hutchins, who chairs the Planning Board, suggested that the ordinance provide for licensing ACTs, which would be charged an appropriate fee. Saunders said that ACTs will be licensed by the state and did not know if they could also be licensed by municipalities.

Divided Gilford selectboard votes not to support petitioned fireworks ban
GILFORD — Selectmen crossed swords again last night over the fireworks issue when two of them voted not to support a petitioned warrant article spearheaded by a third selectman.
Selectman John O'Brien, who has long been an opponent of personal fireworks use, started a petitioned warrant article and got the 25 signatures necessary to put it on this year's warrant.
"My issue with this," said Selectman Gus Benevides, "is presenting this by one selectman."
He said he understands that as a private citizen, O'Brien has the right to petition an article if he wants, however, because he is a selectman, Benevides and Selectman Richard Grenier felt the board should make an official recommendation not to support it.
Last year, Benevides and Grenier voted to abolish a fireworks ordinance that had been passed in 2013.
Benevides has been against banning personal fireworks because the state allows them to be purchased. O'Brien has always been for a ban. The third selectman has always been the tie breaker.
O'Brien objected to having the board support or not support a non-money article because the selectmen typically don't take official positions on all non-money articles.
He made a motion that selectmen should vote to support or not support all non-money warrant articles, but it failed for lack of a second.
In other business, at the request of Police Chief Anthony Bean Burpee, selectmen are considering an ordinance that would make the possession and sale of synthetic drugs.
Bean Burpee said Det. Sgt. Chris Jacques has been researching the matter for about six months by speaking with chemists, police from communities with similar ordinances, and other experts. His proposed ordinance has the support of Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen and Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O'Neill III.
He noted that in the past few years there have been about a dozen incidents in Gilford involving synthetic drugs and he learned that in 2013 a 17-year-old from a different community went to a local concert, purchased some synthetic drugs and died at his home later that evening.
Laconia, Belmont, Wolfeboro, Tilton and Franklin have all passed similar ordinances.

Newfound Budget Committee supports middle school football program
by Thomas P. Caldwell
BRISTOL — The Newfound Area School District Budget Committee finalized its recommendations for the 2015-2016 school year following a public hearing on Jan. 9, lending its endorsement to a petitioned warrant article that would bring the middle school football program under the umbrella of Newfound athletics.
The petitioned article calls for the district to provide $15,000 per year to support the feeder program known as the Junior Bears. Until now, the Friends of Newfound Football has funded and operated the program at Newfound Memorial Middle School.
The Friends organization also supports the high school program which, like the Junior Bears, began as an independent athletic program but since has become taxpayer-financed, although the Friends maintain the field.
During the budget committee deliberations, Friends President Lynn Comeau of Hebron clarified that the cost of operating the program is about $8,000 per year but that the $15,000 figure would also provide money for uniforms and helmets that need replacing. She expects actual costs next year to be less than $15,000, providing a surplus that the program could carry forward to reduce future years' spending.
Superintendent Stacy Buckley said that, although the article calls for ongoing payments, it would require a new appropriation each year.
During the sparsely attended public hearing, several supporters spoke of the value of the program to students who might not excel in academics or other sports. Football Coach Andrew Szendre noted that the Division III coaches had chosen Newfound as having the best overall sportsmanship from players, coaches, spectators, and the home climate. The team also has helped with regional events such as the New Hampshire Marathon and raised money for the local food pantry.
Other speakers questioned whether adding another sports program would be prudent when there are academic needs that are not being met. Money for textbooks was cut to meet the district's tax cap and the guidance department has been pared back.
Budget committee member Christen Dolloff of Bristol cited those concerns later, saying she had a hard time supporting the article when she is hearing guidance counselors saying the students need more assistance.
Others, however, said the football program answers some of the problems guidance faces in meeting students' needs. Jeff Bird of Bridgewater gave an impassioned plea for the committee to support the article, saying the program builds a sense of community. He noted that bringing the program into the school district brings another level of safety to the participants, as well, as the district can conduct concussion tests, while the Friends cannot.
Harold "Skip" Reilly of Alexandria made the motion to support the article, saying the program builds confidence and character. When it came to a vote, only John Jenness II of New Hampton voted against supporting the article.
The budget hearing attracted a small audience of 15, most of whom were connected with the schools. Chair Simon Barnett of Danbury reviewed the warrant articles, highlighting the budget impacts of the two-year teacher's contract, and he dispensed with a close review of the proposed budget, instead focusing on changes the Newfound Area School Board had made to the administration's original proposal and the items the budget committee adjusted.
The budget committee had added back $93,000 for replacement of the roof and drainage at the middle school; $10,960 for refurbishment of gymnasium floors; $16,000 for a projection system in the high school auditorium; and $10,000 for the painting of buildings.
The total proposed budget is $21,948,204, an increase of $2,767 from the current-year budget.

Slow job growth projected for the Lakes Region
CONCORD — Employment in the Lakes Region will increase 6.3 percent during the decade between 2012 and 2022, the third slowest pace among the nine planning regions in the state, according to projections by the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security.
The Lakes Region consists of two cities — Laconia and Franklin — and 28 towns in Belknap, Grafton, Carroll and Merrimack counties. All 11 municipalities in Belknap County are included in the region. The agency chose to develop the projections for planning regions because they represent areas of greater economic coherence than counties.
The agency projects total employment in the Lakes Region to grow from an estimated 44,222 to 46,987 during the 10-year period, an increase of 2,765 jobs. Employment in the goods-producing sector — manufacturing, construction, agriculture and mining — which together provided 6,865 jobs in 2012, is projected to shed 45 jobs, a decrease of 0.7 percent. Employment in manufacturing is projected to slip 3.9 percent, or by 177 jobs, which represents "a drag on growth". The construction sector is expected to add 109 jobs.
Employment in the service sector is projected to expand by 2,818 jobs, an increase of 8.1 percent from an estimated 34,639 jobs in 2012 to a projected 37,457 jobs in 2022. Health care and social work, which provided 5,762 jobs in 2012, are expected to account for 40 percent of the projected growth by adding 1,138 jobs, an increase of 20 percent. Most of the remainder of the projected growth in employment is represented by additional jobs in hospitality, retail trade and educational services.
Government, which employed 3,501 people in 2012, is projected to add 178 jobs, 132 of them in municipal and county government.
The three regions projected to post the greatest increases in employment are the Rockingham region, including the Seacoast, the Southern Region, centered on Manchester, and the Upper Valley, anchored by Hanover and Lebanon, where employment is expected to expand by 14.7 percent, 14.1 percent and 10.2 percent respectively. The lowest rates of growth are projected in the North County and Southwest, where employment is expected to expand by 4.8 percent.

Finally, after some 4-1/2 months of Israeli- Palestinian negotiations, some kind
of game plan is beginning to emerge. Finally, some sort of indication about how
this is all supposed to work – the logistics of the process, what a number of
the key actors (namely the US and the Israelis) are thinking – is coming out
into the open.US President Barack Obama, Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu and US Secretary of State John Kerry all spoke to the Saban Forum in
Washington over the weekend, and a careful reading of what they said – as well
as comments chief Israeli negotiator Tzipi Livni made at Tel Aviv University
this week – provide an indication of where the process is now, where it is
headed, and some of the pitfalls. Here is a look at some of the essential
issues.Security The penny, at least in the US, has dropped – in fact, it
dropped months ago – and there is a realization that nothing moves unless
Netanyahu is confident that Israel's security will not be compromised by a
future agreement.Any agreement Israel makes, Netanyahu told the Saban
Forum via video hook-up on Sunday, "must enable us to protect the peace, or
conversely to protect Israel, in case the peace unravels.That often
happens in our region. So there must be iron-clad security arrangements to
protect the peace, arrangements that allow Israel to defend itself, by itself,
against any possible threats. And those security arrangements must be based on
Israel's own forces. There is no substitute for that."Since words like
these – "Israel must be able to defend itself, by itself, against all possible
threats" – are said so often by so many, they lose their impact; the ear no
longer takes notice.But Netanyahu means it, and the Americans know he
means it – and as a result, they have set up a team apparently unprecedented in
size and scope to look at Israel's security requirements after an agreement, and
to suggest solutions.These types of security analyses have been done
numerous times over the last 20 years of Israeli- Palestinian talks, but
apparently not to the extent being undertaken now, led by Marine Corps Gen.
(ret.) John Allen."Never before – ever – has the United States conducted
such an in-depth analysis of Israel's security requirements that arise from the
potential of a two-state solution," Kerry said at the Saban Forum on Saturday.
"Never."He said that some 160 people from an alphabet- soup list of US
defense and intelligence organizations are involved in the project: evaluating
the security implications of a Palestinian state from "every potential security
scenario – something on the border; something on the border; something in the
future; terrorism in the future; a weakness of the Hashemite Kingdom. Whatever
it might be."What this illustrates is that the Americans understand, as
Livni said, that the path to a Palestinian state runs through Israeli
security.With that understanding, Kerry – who arrived again on Thursday
to move the process forward, in his most recent stab at shuttle diplomacy –
hopes to present Netanyahu with a security plan that he simply cannot refuse; a
security plan that Kerry hopes and believes will be seen as providing Israel
with almost as much security as it can provide itself.And that, indeed,
is a tall order, because as former national security adviser Giora Eiland wrote
in a Yediot Aharonot op-ed this week, for Israel, the security risks bound up
with a withdrawal from Judea and Samaria are not only from the Palestinians, but
rather from other enemies.For instance, Eiland wrote, Israel cannot
agree to Palestinian sovereignty over its airspace, because the Jewish state
needs freedom of the skies over the West Bank – not to face a threat from a
Palestinian air force, but rather to combat other air forces.Will,
however, the Palestinians agree to the curtailed sovereignty that comes from not
having complete control over its airspace? Most of the media speculation
regarding Allen's security ideas has focused on the Jordan Valley, and whether
Israel will – as it demands – be able to retain a security presence there. That
issue is obviously crucial for various reasons, as an Israeli presence is
necessary not only to ensure that arms and terrorists do not enter the new
Palestinian state from Jordan, the way they reached Gaza from Egypt, but also to
make it less tempting for terrorist forces to try to set up a staging ground in
Jordan, like they did in Sinai.There are also a myriad of other issues
that need to be factored in, such as the possibility that a future Fatah
Palestinian state will be overrun, as Gaza was, by Hamas; the instability of the
region; and the chance that a nuclear threshold Iran will destabilize the Sunni
regimes to Israel's east.Beyond the question of the IDF presence on the
Jordan River, the Kerry plan needs to cover what it will take to keep a future
Palestinian state demilitarized; the limitation on arms in a Palestinians state;
limitations on that state's ability to strike up treaties with other countries
(in light of the question of what happens if it forms an alliance with Iran);
and tricky issues having to do with territorial airspace, as Eil and pointed out,
and the electromagnetic spectrum that governs communications systems.The
Americans, as Kerry indicated, are aware of all the problems, and are trying to
come up with answers. These answers will apparently be based on an Israeli
presence in the Jordan Valley for an extended period of time – the periods
discussed range from 10 to 50 years – and with the US provision to Israel of
stateof- the-art arms systems and the most sophisticated surveillance equipment
available to man, from satellites to censors.The more the package
adequately responds to the security concerns as defined by Israel, the more
likely Netanyahu will accept it – and there is the rub. The more extensive the
package, the more it will impinge on Palestinian sovereignty, and the more they
will likely reject it.The Palestinians, who this week spoke out against
Kerry's ideas, will try to erode the plan, whittle it down. But if they succeed,
Israel won't accept it.According to one source, who is wellplaced to
know what is on the table, the American are close to meeting Netanyahu's
expectations."This is serious, and the Americans are trying very hard,"
he said. "If it is a good proposal, we should be happy. If the Palestinians
reject it, then they will be blamed, not us. But if they accept it, it is a
great step forward."Framework agreement At the outset of the
negotiations at the end of July, Kerry talked about a ninemonth deadline,
leaving the impression – mocked by many – that by the end of April, Israel and
the Palestinians would be signing an accord.This week the expectations
were lowered a bit, with both Obama and Kerry saying the immediate goal is a
framework agreement, not a comprehensive one."I think it is possible
over the next several months to arrive at a framework that does not address
every single detail, but gets us to a point where everybody recognizes [it is]
better to move forward than move backwards," Obama said.Kerry expanded
on what this means, saying that a basic framework will "address all the core
issues – borders, security, refugees, Jerusalem, mutual recognition and an end
of claims. And it will have to establish agreed guidelines for subsequent
negotiations, which will fill out the details in a full-on peace
treaty."Framework agreements are initial documents that outline key
provisions, which then need to be fleshed out in a larger treaty at a later
date. Israel has had mixed experience with such agreements. The 1978 Camp David
Accords were actually two framework agreements that were later fleshed out into
a full peace treaty, which has lasted for some three decades.That is the
successful example.The less successful example was the 1993 Declaration
of Principles (the Oslo Accords) Israel and the Palestinians signed on the White
House lawn, also a framework agreement – which still has yet to give birth to a
comprehensive treaty.Implementation, transition and Gaza The
implementation of any accord will be gradual, Livni said this week. Obama also
made this clear, saying "the Palestinians also have to recognize that there is
going to be a transition period, where the Israeli people cannot expect a
replica of Gaza in the West Bank."What needs to be determined, he said,
is whether Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas "is willing to
understand that this transition period requires some restraint on the part of
the Palestinians as well. They don't get everything that they want on day one.
And that creates some political problems for President Abbas as
well."Implementation of the accord, Obama said, will happen in stages.
And here he addressed what has perpetually been the huge elephant in the room of
any negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians – what about Gaza? One of
the most startling elements of the 2007 Annapolis summit was the degree to which
the then-leaders did not address Hamas's takeover of Gaza, and talked about
Palestinian-Israeli negotiations without confronting the issue. How can you sign
an agreement with the Palestinians if Abbas cannot deliver Gaza as part of the
accord, because he does not control Gaza? Or, as Economy Minister Naftali
Bennett said in a Channel 2 interview this week, how do you negotiate for the
sale of a car with someone who owns most of the car, but not the trunk? Obama
spelled out how he envisions cracking that particular nut: "I think this is
going to have to happen in stages," he said. "If, in fact, we can create a
pathway to peace, even if initially it's restricted to the West Bank, if there
is a model where young Palestinians in Gaza are looking and seeing that in the
West Bank, Palestinians are able to live in dignity, with self-determination,
and suddenly their economy is booming and trade is taking place, because they
have created an environment in which Israel is confident about its security, and
a lot of the old barriers to commerce and educational exchange and all that have
begun to break down, that's something that the young people of Gaza are going to
want.And the pressure that will be placed for the residents of Gaza, to
experience that same future, is something that is going to be, I think,
overwhelmingly appealing."In other words, Obama's vision is an agreement
between Israel and the PA over the West Bank, with America then hoping that the
people of Gaza will want a piece of the pie, and force their leadership in that
direction.This is strikingly similar to how former US secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice envisioned the Annapolis process working.Iran Much of
what Netanyahu said at the Saban Forum – whether regarding the Palestinians or
the Iranians – he has said numerous times in the past. There was one new element
he introduced, however, and it is both significant and could be a major
stumbling block in moving forward with the Palestinians."I think that
any kind of peace we'll have is likely, initially at least, to be a cold peace.
And it must withstand the forces of terrorism and the ravaging forces of
radicalism, and all the forces backed by Iran and others that will try to
unravel the peace," he stressed.Returning to the theme, he added, "Our
best efforts to reach Palestinian-Israeli peace will come to nothing if Iran
succeeds in building atomic bombs. A nuclear-armed Iran would give even greater
backing to the radical and terrorist elements in the region.It would
undermine the chances of arriving at a negotiated peace. I would say it would
undermine those peace agreements that we have already reached with two of our
neighbors."In other words, Netanyahu linked keeping Iran from building a
bomb to getting a deal with the Palestinians. The linkage was not in the form of
leverage or a threat, such as: if you want Israel to make concessions on the
Palestinian track, then take care of Iran.Rather, the linkage was born
of Netanyahu's belief that if the Iranian issue is not taken care of – if Tehran
is not denied the ability to acquire nuclear weapons – then no security
guarantees for a post-Palestinian state period will work. This is because the
Islamic Republic will work tirelessly through its proxies, which will then enjoy
a nuclear capability, to undercut them.
