Lighter, yes I think what you said is somewhat accurate except for the fact that not all countries agree about Israeli/American policy.

Keith, how do you know what I know or don't know? I have presented factual material whether it's found agreeable or not. You haven't presented any convincing evidence or factual material that gives your view credibility. I think I have done sufficient study on this subject and the fact that we disagree doesn't diminish my knowledge which is based not only on the Israeli propaganda output but by personal appraisals by people who have lived on kibbutz's, gone to Israel and Palestine. I trust their opinions more than someone who spouts propaganda. Also, I find Ha'aretz to be more reliable than many AIPAC sources of information. I am a supported of Gush Shalom and Uri Avnery who is no less of an Israeli patriot than the propagandists. Avnery was one-time a member of the Irgun and sat in the Knesset and knows what he's talking about.

There is a solution to this problem offered in his first book on the Mid-East, Noam Chomsky suggested at that time a one-state solution with a secular viewpoint allowing equal representation by Palestinian and Israeli governance. It probably should be Socialist/democratic of which is not now, but is theocratic.

Zionism is theocratic at its base in spite of the protestations to the contrary.
Palestinian Islam is also. The solution is to allow both and many other religions or non-religions to exist in Israel despite the rabbis and mullahs.
