Sarmad,
All the Palestinians had to do was to accept the UN mandate in 1947. They would now have their own state for 54 years on much more land than they could now have. I still dont understand that. Or why didnt they accept Barak's offer and please no bs about Bantustans etc. They would have gotten back 97-98% of pre-1967 west bank Jordan for a state. Now they cant hope to get that anytime soon. But lets blame the Jews and the americans for all the worlds woes. Lets not look in the mirror. Unfortunately the Islamic world in large part has adopted this position. Are mirrors the enemy? I remain hopeful though and I hope you have some hope to for a better future for all peoples. Mike

RE: "...ironclad, eternal and absolute" and a"core principle of American foreign policy..."

You don't seem to be able to distinguish between political rhetoric and an actual pledge of "iron-clad support".
