Imperial Politicians have always seen Israel as a sort of "Jewish Ulster"...a settler state planted on behalf of western interests [ie oil ] among arab people.
It has not gained acceptance with its neighbours because it is inherently a racist and aggressive state ...a militarised democracy controlled by its generals as a writer put it well in the Guardian today.
The reason for the planting of this state is its use to police the Middle East on behalf of Britain [at first ] and since the second World War , America.
Because of its militarised and aggressive nature it has no friends among its neighbours hence its turn to Europe and the daft Eurovision song contest etc.
