Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
I want to state emphatically that I don't hate Israel. I lament it having become a "militocracy". I deplore it's begging the US for more weaponry.

The US can't be a legitimate arbiter as long as it sends weapons to Israel.

It's pretty clear that the international community is opposed to the expansion of settlements, an attempt at a land grab.

There is not a wall big enough to solve this ongoing problem.

The solution may come from the young people of Israel and the dissidents.
Netanyahu is old mode and his ways don't work any more.

There have been unofficial alliances between Palestinians and Israelis and this
it the hope for the future.

Obama is on the wrong side of this issue. Kerry's negotiations are "dead in the water".

The answer is to somehow wrest the dialogue and the solutions from the politicians
and allow the people of Palestine and Israel to make reasonable decisions.

For that matter, this applies to the "politocracy" of the US as well. Get the politicians
out of the way and let the people decide.
