Israel is committing suicide, and taking us with them. Israel ALWAYS wants this to be seen as a matter of negotiation. And of course those bastards we call the Palestinians can never be trusted, so how can Israel arrive at a negotiated peace agreement? It can't. This allows Israel to roll merrily along, secure in the belief that we will hold fast to them because we share their distrust of those 'terrorists', and secure in the belief that their weapons will make them forever 'safe'. There is no peace through negotiation. There is no peace through military superiority. There is no peace by stringing this out to infinity. All three of these roads lead to one destination -- Israel will in time be nuked. You can count on it. And while we wait for that inevitable time, we will pursue a foreign policy that continues to destabilize the rest of the world. All we are doing is hurting ourselves to enable Israel to hurt itself and its neighbors. The US must take the first step -- the US must say 'our support is now limited and conditional -- and we believe that it is our responsibility to criticize you when we think that what you are doing is dead wrong'. For its part, Israel must embrace peace -- and there is a glimmer of hope in my opinion -- a glimmer borne of a dim but growing awareness that Israel will be destroyed if it does not achieve peace.
