きょうあたりはそろそろ海の話題をと思っていたのだけれど、ジャパン・ハンドラーズと国際金融情報さんちを読んですっごくぶっ飛んだので、急遽、画像も変更、若干14歳にしてすでに背中で語れるタミーJr.とその弟妹、海辺にたたずむの図に変えて...（オトコはやっぱ背中だネ、コトバじゃないんだよ、中身がわかるのは）：


で、何にぶっとんだかっていうと、一昨日ファイナンシャル・タイムスに掲載された、サウジアラビアのトゥルキ・ファイサル王子の寄稿文ね：

Saudi patience is running out

トゥルキ・ファイサル王子は、元サウジ諜報機関主任、駐英大使、駐米大使を歴任した人物。彼がいってるのは、ようするに、トチ狂ったイスラエルがガザのパレスティナ人を千数百人も殺しまくってるのに、何も手を打たないでイスラエルのやるにまかせていたアメリカ～に対して、サウジも堪忍袋の緒が切れそうだってこと。（堪忍袋の尾＞緒に直しました。鍵コメで教えてくださった方、ありがとうございました^^）

これをジャパン・ハンドラーズと国際金融情報・アルルの男・ヒロシさんこと中田安彦さんが訳すとこうなる：

そういえば、最近、アフマディネジャドから書簡をもらったんだけど、彼はサウジをアラブの盟主と認めてくれたよ。ガザでのイスラエルの暴挙については、スンニもシーアもなく、中東はイスラエルの行動に怒りを覚えているんだけどね。ここまでくると、従来アメリカの代理人だったサウジとしても押さえが利かないんですよね」と述べた上で、「Today, every Saudi is a Gazan」とダメ押しの恫喝を放っているのだ。

ね、あの親米で知られたサウジ王室の一員がですよ。すごいでしょ。その部分の原文はこちら：

Last week, President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad of Iran wrote a letter to King Abdullah, explicitly recognising Saudi Arabia as the leader of the Arab and Muslim worlds and calling on him to take a more confrontational role over “this obvious atrocity and killing of your own children” in Gaza. The communiqué is significant because the de facto recognition of the kingdom’s primacy from one of its most ardent foes reveals the extent that the war has united an entire region, both Shia and Sunni. Further, Mr Ahmadi-Nejad’s call for Saudi Arabia to lead a jihad against Israel would, if pursued, create unprecedented chaos and bloodshed in the region.

So far, the kingdom has resisted these calls, but every day this restraint becomes more difficult to maintain.
～～～中略～～～
Eventually, the kingdom will not be able to prevent its citizens from joining the worldwide revolt against Israel. Today, every Saudi is a Gazan, and we remember well the words of our late King Faisal: “I hope you will forgive my outpouring of emotions, but when I think that our Holy Mosque in Jerusalem is being invaded and desecrated, I ask God that if I am unable to undertake Holy Jihad, then I should not live a moment more.”

故ファイサル国王の言葉まで持ち出して、なかなか泣かせますねえ...

イスラエルに対して全アラブが団結したらサウジ王室が危ないって事情も、イギリス＋オバマ・アメリカ＋サウジ＝米英主義（イスラエルはなんとか温存して中東を丸く収めましょ派）　ＶＳ　イスラエルを狂気に駆り立てドンスカやらせてイスラエル国家滅亡を招き世界を多極化派という田中宇さん的見方を踏まえて見ても、やっぱりこれはすごい迫力だ。もちろん、この寄稿をサウジが国家として承認しているのは当然として（どっかの大臣や総理のような口から出まかせや国内向け人気取りじゃないってこと）、バックにはイギリスの影、さらにはオバマ政権への援護射撃（というか密通）をも感じるのだけどね。

それで、ジャパン・ハンドラーズと国際金融情報さんは、オバマ政権の中東チームが、当初予測されていたネオコン＆イスラエル・ロビーのデニス・ロスの起用を見送り、アラブ系アメリカ人（母親がレバノン人）のジョージ・ミッチェル元上院議員を起用となったことに、この記事（というか背景）が一役買ってるのではないかというわけだ。

ひるがえって、極東ニホン...

北の将軍だって双頭の禿鷹アメリカと、眠れるトラ中国を相手に、すっごい外交をしてるっつーのに、ニホン国　＞＞＞外務省、自公政権、そして民主、社民、み～んな、目を覚ましてますか？（ここに共産党やその他新党がないのは、彼らの対米実績がないってことだけで、この期に及んでアメリカ～に尻尾を振ったら、上記に加える－笑）

アメリカ～の弱みにつけこむのは、いまだ～～～！

ちゃんと、乳離れ外交、してください。

Saudi patience is running out

By Turki al-Faisal

Published: January 22 2009 20:15 | Last updated: January 22 2009 20:15

In my decades as a public servant, I have strongly promoted the Arab-Israeli peace process. During recent months, I argued that the peace plan proposed by Saudi Arabia could be implemented under an Obama administration if the Israelis and Palestinians both accepted difficult compromises. I told my audiences this was worth the energies of the incoming administration for, as the late Indian diplomat Vijaya Lakshmi Nehru Pandit said: “The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war.”

But after Israel launched its bloody attack on Gaza, these pleas for optimism and co-operation now seem a distant memory. In the past weeks, not only have the Israeli Defence Forces murdered more than 1,000 Palestinians, but they have come close to killing the prospect of peace itself. Unless the new US administration takes forceful steps to prevent any further suffering and slaughter of Palestinians, the peace process, the US-Saudi relationship and the stability of the region are at risk.

Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, told the UN Security Council that if there was no just settlement, “we will turn our backs on you”. King Abdullah spoke for the entire Arab and Muslim world when he said at the Arab summit in Kuwait that although the Arab peace initiative was on the table, it would not remain there for long. Much of the world shares these sentiments and any Arab government that negotiated with the Israelis today would be rightly condemned by its citizens. Two of the four Arab countries that have formal ties to Israel – Qatar and Mauritania – have suspended all relations and Jordan has recalled its ambassador.

America is not innocent in this calamity. Not only has the Bush administration left a sickening legacy in the region – from the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to the humiliation and torture at Abu Ghraib – but it has also, through an arrogant attitude about the butchery in Gaza, contributed to the slaughter of innocents. If the US wants to continue playing a leadership role in the Middle East and keep its strategic alliances intact – especially its “special relationship” with Saudi Arabia – it will have to drastically revise its policies vis a vis Israel and Palestine.

The incoming US administration will be inheriting a “basket full of snakes” in the region, but there are things that can be done to help calm them down. First, President Barack Obama must address the disaster in Gaza and its causes. Inevitably, he will condemn Hamas’s firing of rockets at Israel.

When he does that, he should also condemn Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinians and support a UN resolution to that effect; forcefully condemn the Israeli actions that led to this conflict, from settlement building in the West Bank to the blockade of Gaza and the targeted killings and arbitrary arrests of Palestinians; declare America’s intention to work for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, with a security umbrella for countries that sign up and sanctions for those that do not; call for an immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Shab’ah Farms in Lebanon; encourage Israeli-Syrian negotiations for peace; and support a UN resolution guaranteeing Iraq’s territorial integrity.

Mr Obama should strongly promote the Abdullah peace initiative, which calls on Israel to pursue the course laid out in various international resolutions and laws: to withdraw completely from the lands occupied in 1967, including East Jerusalem, returning to the lines of June 4 1967; to accept a mutually agreed just solution to the refugee problem according to the General Assembly resolution 194; and to recognise the independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital. In return, there would be an end to hostilities between Israel and all the Arab countries, and Israel would get full diplomatic and normal relations.

Last week, President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad of Iran wrote a letter to King Abdullah, explicitly recognising Saudi Arabia as the leader of the Arab and Muslim worlds and calling on him to take a more confrontational role over “this obvious atrocity and killing of your own children” in Gaza. The communiqué is significant because the de facto recognition of the kingdom’s primacy from one of its most ardent foes reveals the extent that the war has united an entire region, both Shia and Sunni. Further, Mr Ahmadi-Nejad’s call for Saudi Arabia to lead a jihad against Israel would, if pursued, create unprecedented chaos and bloodshed in the region.

So far, the kingdom has resisted these calls, but every day this restraint becomes more difficult to maintain. When Israel deliberately kills Palestinians, appropriates their lands, destroys their homes, uproots their farms and imposes an inhuman blockade on them; and as the world laments once again the suffering of the Palestinians, people of conscience from every corner of the world are clamouring for action. Eventually, the kingdom will not be able to prevent its citizens from joining the worldwide revolt against Israel. Today, every Saudi is a Gazan, and we remember well the words of our late King Faisal: “I hope you will forgive my outpouring of emotions, but when I think that our Holy Mosque in Jerusalem is being invaded and desecrated, I ask God that if I am unable to undertake Holy Jihad, then I should not live a moment more.”

Let us all pray that Mr Obama possesses the foresight, fairness, and resolve to rein in the murderous Israeli regime and open a new chapter in this most intractable of conflicts.
