A host of Premier League teams did not even apply to enter; many of the tournament's traditional constituents vocally resented what they saw as the strong arm of the Premier League's clubs, voracious collectors of young players, annexing a tournament to solve a problem of their own making.
|
|
With the Trump administration unilaterally acting in defiance of longstanding international consensus on the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees and now the Golan Heights, it has become possible to speak openly of annexing the West Bank in a way that was not considered acceptable a few years ago.
|
|
It's notable that while Trump was bullying Denmark on Tuesday, he was relaunching his effort to get a Western foe -- Russian President Vladimir Putin who assaulted US sovereignty by election meddling -- and redrew borders of post-World War II Europe by annexing Crimea, back into the G8 summit.
|
|
JERUSALEM — The only immediate consequence of the Trump peace plan — and possibly all that will ever come of it — was the green light President Trump gave to Israel Tuesday to expand its territory by effectively annexing vast stretches of land it has long coveted on the West Bank.

You cannot be a Palestinian in the West Bank watching the steady growth of Israeli settlements, outposts and barriers without concluding that Israel's occasional murmurings about a two-state peace are mere camouflage for a project whose objective is to control all the land in perpetuity without annexing it.
|
|
Israel has refrained from annexing parts of the occupied West Bank, fearing international reaction, mainly from the U.S. Senior members of Knesset from Likud told me that, although Netanyahu has pressed against annexation bills in the past, this time his opposition is not about the substance and only about the timing.
|
|
This victory lap is a far cry from the Putin of 2014, who became an international pariah after annexing Crimea, propping up separatists in Ukraine war-torn Donbass region, and catching the blame after those separatists shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, the worst attack on an airliner since 9/11.

Here are some of the ways Trump weakened America this week: He attacked US allies and spoke up for Putin It started before he left for the G7 meeting in Canada, when Trump declared that the exclusive group of advanced democracies should re-admit Russia, which was expelled for illegally annexing Ukraine's Crimea.
|
|
In response to any unilateral declaration, the Israelis -- already deeply committed to settlements -- would likely respond with steps of their own that go beyond what they are already doing, such as building heavily in east Jerusalem, moving forward on the controversial E-1 project and perhaps even annexing portions of the West Bank.
|
|
US-Russia tensions grow Tensions between Washington and Moscow have intensified as Putin has pushed back hard against US power globally over the last eight years, annexing Crimea, sustaining a low-level conflict in eastern Ukraine, threatening NATO allies in the Baltics and backing Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, whom the US opposes.

|
For good measure, Trump also criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel, one of Washington's closest allies, while hinting that he'd be willing to lift the sanctions imposed on Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has rattled many in Europe by annexing Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and threatening to use force against other of his neighbors.
|

Moscow reacted by annexing the Crimea, Ukraine's sole Russian-majority region, and supporting an armed insurgency in the Donbass (eastern Ukraine), which, compared with central and western Ukraine, has been shaped more by Russian culture and the Soviet past and contains many ethnic Russians, as well as Ukrainians whose primary language is Russian.

But David Schenker, the assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs, told reporters on Friday that Mr. Netanyahu had presented Mr. Pompeo no formal plan for annexing the area, and reaffirmed the administration's view that "the ultimate disposition of territory is to be determined between the parties," not through unilateral moves.
|
|
Netanyahu's aides told me the Prime Minister used to reject the idea of annexing the West Bank or extending the Israeli law to the West Bank, but that lately he changed his mind and is much more open to implementing such a move in the West Bank that will at least include the settlements.

But far more revealing are the multiple jars of pearly goose fat, the brackish squid ink, the pickled rhubarb and the 15 varieties of homemade jams and jellies (medlar, passion fruit, quince) that overflow her pantry, taking up every possible inch before creeping down to the floor and annexing a swath of the laundry room.

Most important, annexing the West Bank — whether just the 60 percent of it that Israel controls now, or its entirety — would bring the collapse of security coordination between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and likely cause the demise of the authority, forcing Israel to take over all of the West Bank, like it or not.
|
|
Netanyahu plans to move forward with annexing the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and parts of the Jordan Valley as soon as this weekend… The detailed proposal offers a four-year window for Palestinians to begin negotiations for what would amount to a smaller, weaker version of statehood than envisioned by past U.S. presidents.

STOLTENBERG: What we have seen over the last year is a more assertive Russia, a Russia which has invested heavily in new and more modern military capabilities, which has increased its military presence into the Middle East, Syria, but also a Russia which has been willing to use military force against neighbors, Ukraine, illegally annexing Crimea.
|

The latest examples of this aggression include Russia's violating Ukraine's territorial integrity and illegally annexing Crimea; downing a civilian airliner; enabling the Syrian government and Iran to commit crimes against humanity; poisoning former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter with a nerve agent; and interfering in elections, both in Europe and the United States.

Consider Putin's increasingly brazen foreign policy: invading Georgia; violating Ukraine's territorial integrity and illegally annexing Crimea; downing a civilian airliner; being complicit in Syria's and Iran's crimes against humanity in Syria; poisoning former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter with a nerve agent; and interfering in elections in the United States and Europe.

She finished her speech in New Hampshire to great applause and asked for questions, but nobody wanted to know how "a politics of love," as she called it, would handle, say, President Vladimir Putin's annexing Crimea, or how it would prevent a mass shooting, which were things she had thought about deeply and had specific and elaborate plans for.

But it's crucial that voters identify who is and is not being authentic: As Israel veers further right, with talks of annexing the West Bank completely in the next few years, the support or opposition of the U.S. after 2020 could be the difference between the complete erasure of Palestine and an end to the occupation.

Both have an interest in challenging the American-sponsored international order, and both have recently shown that they are prepared to apply military force to defend what they see as their legitimate interests: Russia by annexing Crimea and destabilising Ukraine, and China by building militarised artificial islands and exerting force in disputes with regional neighbours in the South and East China Seas.

Netanyahu, who is neck-and-neck with two centrist rivals ahead of a national election next week, has campaigned heavily on national security in the final days of the race, promoting ideas such as annexing parts of the West Bank as he seeks to shore up his conservative bona fides and suggest candidates to his left would leave Israel at risk.
|
|
Friends don't let friends drive drunk, and right now Obama and Kerry rightly believe that Israel is driving drunk toward annexing the West Bank and becoming either a bi-national Arab-Jewish state or some Middle Eastern version of 1960s South Africa, where Israel has to systematically deprive large elements of its population of democratic rights to preserve the state's Jewish character.

It paves the way for historical inaccuracy, insisted upon by people who want to forget that the nation was never all-white and attempt to maintain a white hegemony that's riddled with violence, beginning with genocide against the indigenous peoples and continuing through the enslavement of African people, annexing Mexican land into the US border, and labeling Chinese people as coolies to justify excluding them from citizenship — a ploy that lasted in various forms until 1964.
