I think i m a "genius" like wad some nbors said. Lol. But Panda FunE is a greater genius. She saw through the trick first and gave me the right answer but at the wrong time!! What a pity!! Panda gave this right answer only after she posted her first. Uh oh! So sorry Panda. No changing of answer is allowed. So think carefully first before posting. I really enjoyed n lol over all the messages received. They r so funny. Caro couldn't figure out the second word. She too was tricked. Now shes looking forward to day2 puzzle. C'sBaby was totally stumped n asked for additional alphabets while Jace said his brain is working overtime. Bonnie said its too tricky while Bubs totally forgot about the game despite reminders. She's busy designing to meet birthday dateline. Too bad! 1 non nbor Grace took part but her msg dropped off my wall n I couldn't reach her. Searched all over, just couldn't locate her. Must declare her as MISSING together with those who did not give an answer! Hahaha. Ok. mamaos gonna be good today. Day2 puzzle is straightforward. No tricks. It's an occupation/job.

Monsieur le Secrétaire général,
Lorsque nous nous sommes retrouvés, ici même en septembre de l’année dernière, lequel d’entre nous pouvait imaginer qu’en un an à peine, le monde, déjà bouleversé par une crise économique sans précédent, allait à ce point changer ?
En quelques mois, les « printemps arabes » ont fait se lever une immense espérance.
Depuis trop longtemps des peuples arabes soumis à l’oppression ont pu relever la tête et ont réclamé le droit d’être enfin libres. Avec leurs mains nues, ils se sont opposés à la violence et à la brutalité.
A ceux qui proclamaient que le monde arabo-musulman était par nature hostile à la démocratie et aux droits de l’Homme, les jeunes arabes ont apporté le plus beau démenti.
Mesdames et Messieurs, mes chers collègues, nous n’avons pas le droit de décevoir l’espérance des peuples arabes.
Nous n’avons pas le droit de briser leur rêve.
Car si l’espérance de ces peuples était brisée, cela donnerait raison aux fanatiques qui n’ont pas renoncé à dresser l’Islam contre l’Occident en attisant partout la haine et la violence.
C’est un appel à la justice qui a ébranlé le monde, et le monde ne peut pas répondre à cet appel à la justice par la perpétuation d’une injustice.
Ce miraculeux printemps des peuples arabes nous impose une obligation morale, une obligation politique de résoudre enfin le conflit du Moyen-Orient.
Nous ne pouvons plus attendre ! La méthode utilisée jusqu’à présent, je pèse mes mots, a échoué. Il faut donc changer de méthode !
Il faut arrêter de croire qu’un seul pays, fut-il le plus grand, ou qu’un petit groupe de pays peuvent résoudre un problème d’une telle complexité. Trop d’acteurs majeurs sont laissés de côté pour pouvoir aboutir.
Je voudrais dire que personne ne peut imaginer que le processus de paix ne puisse se passer de l’Europe, que personne ne peut imaginer que le processus de paix puisse se passer de tous les membres permanents du Conseil de Sécurité, que personne ne peut imaginer que l’on puisse se passer des États arabes qui ont déjà fait le choix de la paix. Une approche collective est devenue indispensable pour créer la confiance et apporter des garanties à chacune des parties.
Alors bien sûr, la paix sera faite par les Israéliens et par les Palestiniens. Par personne d’autre. Et nul ne peut prétendre la leur imposer. Mais nous devons les aider.
La méthode ne fonctionne plus.
Reconnaissons ensemble que fixer des préalables à la négociation, c’était se condamner à l’échec. Les préalables, c’est le contraire de la négociation. Si l’on veut entrer dans la négociation, qui est le seul chemin possible pour la paix, il ne faut pas de préalables. Changeons de méthode !
Tous les éléments d’une solution sont connus : la Conférence de Madrid de 1991, le discours du Président Obama du 19 mai dernier, la feuille de route, l’initiative arabe de la paix et les paramètres agréés par l’Union européenne. Alors cessons de débattre à l’infini des paramètres et que les négociations commencent. Adoptons un calendrier précis et ambitieux.
60 ans sans que cela avance d’un centimètre. Est-ce que cela ne nous impose pas de changer de méthode et de calendrier ?
— Un mois pour reprendre les discussions ;
— Six mois pour se mettre d’accord sur les frontières et sur la sécurité ;
— Un an pour parvenir à un accord définitif.
Et la France propose d’accueillir, dès cet automne, une Conférence des donateurs afin que les Palestiniens puissent parachever la construction de leur futur État. La France veut vous dire qu’il ne faut pas chercher d’emblée la solution parfaite, parce que de solution parfaite, il n’y en a pas ! Choisissons la voie du compromis, qui n’est pas un renoncement, qui n’est pas un reniement, mais qui permettra d’avancer, étape par étape.
Voilà donc 60 ans que les Palestiniens attendent leur État. Est-ce qu’il n’est pas venu le moment de leur donner de l’espérance ? Voilà 60 ans qu’Israël souffre de ne pas pouvoir vivre en paix. Voici 60 ans que la question de la coexistence pacifique des deux peuples palestinien et israélien demeure lancinante.
Nous ne pouvons plus attendre pour prendre le chemin de la paix !
Mettons-nous à la place des Palestiniens. N’est-il pas légitime qu’ils réclament leur Etat ? Bien sûr que si ! Et qui ne voit que la création d’un Etat palestinien démocratique, viable et pacifique serait, pour Israël, la meilleure garantie de sa sécurité ?
Mettons-nous à la place des Israéliens. N’est-il pas légitime qu’après 60 ans de guerres et d’attentats, ils demandent des garanties pour cette paix si longtemps attendue ? Bien sûr que si ! Et je le dis avec force : si quiconque à travers le monde menaçait l’existence d’Israël, la France serait immédiatement et totalement aux côtés d’Israël. Les menaces à l’endroit d’un Etat membre des Nations Unies sont inacceptables et ne seront pas acceptées.
Nous sommes aujourd’hui devant un choix très difficile. Chacun sait bien - et arrêtons avec les hypocrisies ou la diplomatie d’un jour - chacun sait bien qu’une reconnaissance pleine et entière du statut d’Etat membre de l’ONU ne peut être obtenue dans l’immédiat. La raison première en est le manque de confiance entre les principaux acteurs. Mais disons-nous la vérité : qui peut douter qu’un veto au Conseil de Sécurité n’engendrera pas un cycle de violence au Proche-Orient ? Qui peut en douter ?
Faut-il pour autant exclure une étape intermédiaire ? Pourquoi ne pas envisager pour la Palestine le statut d’Etat observateur aux Nations Unies ? Ce serait un pas important, nous sortirions après 60 ans de l’immobilisme, l’immobilisme qui fait le lit des extrémistes. Nous redonnerions un espoir aux Palestiniens en marquant des progrès vers le statut final.
Pour marquer leur engagement déterminé en faveur d’une paix négociée, les dirigeants palestiniens devraient, dans le cadre de cette démarche, réaffirmer le droit à l’existence et à la sécurité d’Israël. Ils devraient s’engager à ne pas utiliser ce nouveau statut pour recourir à des actions incompatibles avec la poursuite des négociations.
Mes chers collègues, nous n’avons qu’une alternative : l’immobilisme et le blocage ou une solution intermédiaire qui permettrait de donner de l’espoir aux Palestiniens, avec un statut d’Etat observateur. Parallèlement, une même retenue devrait être observée par Israël, qui devrait s’abstenir de gestes qui préjugent du statut final.
L’objectif ultime c’est bien la reconnaissance mutuelle de deux Etats nations pour deux peuples, établis sur la base des lignes de 1967 avec des échanges de territoires agréés et équivalents.
Que cette Assemblée générale, qui en a le pouvoir, décide d’avancer, décide de sortir du piège mortel de la paralysie, décide de renvoyer les rendez-vous manqués et les relances sans lendemain ! Changeons de méthode ! Changeons d’état d’esprit !
Que chacun s’efforce de comprendre les raisons de l’autre, les souffrances de l’autre, les angoisses de l’autre.
Que chacun ouvre les yeux et soit prêt à faire des concessions.
Et en terminant, je veux le dire avec une profonde et sincère amitié pour le peuple palestinien, je veux dire aux Palestiniens : pensez aux mères israéliennes qui pleurent les membres de leur famille tués dans les attentats. Elles éprouvent la même douleur que les mères palestiniennes à qui l’on annonce la mort brutale d’un des leurs.
Je veux le dire avec une profonde et sincère amitié pour le peuple israélien : Ecoutez ce que criait la jeunesse des printemps arabes. Ils criaient : « Vive la liberté ! ». Ils ne criaient pas : « à bas Israël ». Vous ne pouvez pas rester immobiles alors que ce vent de liberté et de démocratie souffle dans votre région.
Je le dis avec une profonde et sincère amitié pour ces deux peuples qui ont tant soufferts : le moment est venu de bâtir la paix pour les enfants de Palestine et pour les enfants d’Israël. Mais il serait trop accablant que l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies ne profite pas de l’opportunité du réveil des peuples arabes au service de la démocratie pour régler un problème qui fait le malheur de ces deux peuples qui, de toutes façons, sont condamnés à vivre à côté les uns des autres. Si nous prenons une solution de compromis, nous redonnerons de la confiance et nous redonnerons de l’espoir.
Je veux le dire avec gravité aux représentants de toutes les nations. Nous avons une responsabilité historique à assumer. C’est l’Assemblée général des Nations unies qui porte ce rendez-vous avec l’Histoire.
Rassurons Israël et donnons un espoir au peuple palestinien. La solution est sur la table. Préférer la solution du compromis à celle du blocage, car le blocage satisfera peut-être tout le monde ici mais elle créera des violences, des amertumes et des oppositions qui mettront en péril le réveil des peuples arabes. La France vous dit que la tragédie doit cesser pour une raison simple, c’est qu’elle n’a que trop duré.
Je vous remercie.

(Unofficial translation)
Mr. Secretary General,
When we met here in this very place last September, who among us could have imagined that in barely one year, the world, already convulsed by an unprecedented economic crisis, would have undergone such changes?
In just a few months, the Arab Spring has given rise to extraordinary hope.
Crushed by oppression for all too long, Arab populations were able to lift their heads and demand the right to be free at last. With only their bare hands, they confronted violence and brutality.
To those who proclaimed that the Arab-Muslim world is by nature hostile to democracy and human rights, the young Arabs offered the most eloquent denial.
Ladies and Gentlemen, my dear colleagues, we do not have the right to disappoint the hopes of the Arab people.
We do not have the right to destroy their dreams.
For if their hopes were dashed, it would vindicate the fanatics who have not renounced their desire to set Islam against the West by stirring up hatred and violence throughout the world.
It was a call for justice that shook the world, and we cannot respond to this call by perpetuating an injustice.
This miraculous spring of the Arab peoples imposes upon us a moral and political obligation to finally find a solution to the Middle East crisis.
We can wait no longer! The method used up to now—and I am choosing my words carefully—has failed. We must therefore change the method!
We must stop believing that a single country, even the largest, or a small group of countries can resolve so complex a problem. Too many crucial players have been sidelined for our efforts to succeed.
I would like to say that no one can imagine the peace process succeeding without Europe; no one can imagine it succeeding without the involvement of all the permanent members of the Security Council; no one can imagine it succeeding without the involvement of the Arab states that have already chosen peace. A collective approach has become essential to creating trust and providing real guarantees to each of the parties.
True, this peace will be built by the Israelis and the Palestinians. No one else can do it. And no one can claim to impose it on them. But we must help them.
The method is no longer working.
Together let us acknowledge that setting preliminary conditions for negotiation means dooming ourselves to failure. Preliminary conditions are the opposite of negotiation. If we wish to enter into negotiations, which is the only way forward for peace, there must be no preliminary conditions. Let us change our method!
All the elements of a solution are known and enshrined in numerous documents, from the Madrid Conference of 1991 to President Obama’s speech of May 19, the road map, the Arab peace initiative and the parameters agreed on by the European Union. So let us cease our endless debates on the parameters and begin negotiations, on these bases. Let us adopt a specific and ambitious timetable.
In 60 years, we have not moved forward by even one centimeter. Doesn’t that oblige us to change methods and timetables?
— One month to resume discussions
— Six months to reach an agreement on borders and security
— One year to reach a definitive agreement.
And France proposes to host a donors’ conference this fall so that the Palestinians can complete the construction of their future State. France wants to say that you must not seek a perfect solution from the outset, because there are no perfect solutions.
Let us choose the path of compromise, which is neither a renunciation nor a disavowal, but which will allow us to move forward, step by step.
For 60 years now, the Palestinians have been waiting for their State. Hasn’t the time come to give them hope? For 60 years now, Israel has suffered from being unable to live in peace. For 60 years now, the question of peaceful coexistence between Palestinians and Israelis has continued to fester.
We can no longer wait to take the path of peace!
Put yourselves in the place of the Palestinians. Don’t they have the right to demand their own state? Of course they do! And who cannot see that a democratic, viable and peaceful Palestinian state would be, for Israel, the best guarantee of its security?
Put yourselves in the place of the Israelis. After 60 years of war and terrorist attacks, don’t they have the right to demand guarantees for this long-awaited peace? Of course they do! And I emphatically say to you that if anyone anywhere in the world were to threaten the existence of Israel, France would immediately and wholeheartedly stand by Israel’s side. Threats against a UN member state are unacceptable and will not be accepted.
Today we are facing a very difficult choice. We all know quite well—and let’s put an end to the hypocrisy and one-off diplomacy—we all know quite well that Palestine cannot immediately obtain full and complete recognition of the status of United Nations member state. The first reason for this is the lack of trust between the main parties. But frankly, is there anyone who doubts that a veto at the Security Council will engender a cycle of violence in the Middle East? Is there anyone who doubts that?
Yet must we rule out an intermediate stage? Why not consider offering Palestine the status of United Nations observer state? That would be an important step forward; it would mean bringing an end to 60 years of inaction, a state of inaction that favors the extremists. We would be restoring hope to the Palestinians by making progress toward the final status.
To mark their determined commitment to a negotiated peace, the Palestinian authorities must, in the framework of this approach, reaffirm Israel’s right to exist and to security. Furthermore, they should pledge to avoid using this new status to undertake actions incompatible with the continuation of negotiations.
My dear colleagues, we have no other choice: inaction and deadlock, or an intermediate solution that would help restore hope to the Palestinians, with the status of observer state. At the same time, Israel must observe the same restraint—it must refrain from any actions that would jeopardize the final status.
The ultimate goal is of course the mutual recognition of two nation states for two peoples, established on the basis of the 1967 borders, with agreed on and equivalent exchanges of land.
Let this General Assembly, which is empowered to do so, decide to move forward, decide to release itself from the fatal trap of paralysis, decide to reject the missed opportunities and failed attempts to revive the process! Let us change our method! Let us change our mentality!
Let each party make the effort to understand the other’s reasons, their sufferings and their fears.
Let each party open its eyes and be ready to make concessions.
In conclusion—and I say this with deep and sincere friendship for the Palestinian people—I want to tell the Palestinians: think of the Israeli mothers grieving for their family members killed in terrorist attacks. They feel the same pain as the Palestinian mothers facing the brutal death of one of their own relatives.
I want to tell the Israeli people, with deep and sincere friendship: Listen to what the young people of the Arab Spring are crying. They are crying, “Long live freedom!” They are not crying, “Down with Israel.” You cannot remain motionless when this wind of freedom and democracy is blowing through your region.
Once again, I say this with deep and sincere friendship for these two peoples who have suffered so much: the time has come to build peace for the children of Palestine and the children of Israel. It would be all too devastating if the UN General Assembly did not take advantage of the opportunity presented by the Arab awakening to democracy to resolve a problem that has hounded these two peoples, which are in any case fated to live next door to one another. If we adopt a compromise solution, we will restore trust and restore their hope.
And I solemnly say to the representatives of all nations: we must assume this historic responsibility. It is the UN General Assembly that is bringing about this rendezvous with history.
Let us reassure Israel and give hope to the Palestinian people. The solution is on the table. Let us choose a compromise solution over deadlock, because while deadlock might satisfy everyone here, it will give rise to violence, bitterness and resistance that will endanger the Arab awakening.

Thank you.
