Having access to all dirty secrets of USA leadership (unless they communicate with mistresses via pigeons) makes Israel pretty much in charge of American leadership.

That they are entirely UNsurprised, is, I guess, not news either.

You can dress the reality any way you like, crying loud about what people say while sweeping under carpet what people do: So let's turn down volume on endless accusing talk and look at the actions. And believe me, what Zionists do to native people is nothing short of race hate crime, rabbinic religious justifications notwithstanding. In Area C which is Jordan Valley of Palestine, which comprises 60% of West Bank, and where Israel, and not Palestinian Authority is in charge, we have some figures, recently published for a first time: between 2000 and 2007 there were 94 (ninety four) building permits issued to Palestinians, some for the repairs to existing structures. 18830 new dwellings were build for Jewish only Israelis, and 1993 Palestinian homes were demolished. If this figures do not strike you as racist, then you may remain a moral authority to Zionists, but should be ignored by anybody else who professes post Jim Crowe western morality on race.

It will immediately improve average morality of both countries, Israel and USA.

I like your logic.

They then allowed 67 trucks per day (their own figures). This means that Israel deliberately pegged the amount of food coming to Gaza at 902 calories. The agreement between Israel and Egypt states that the Egypt-Gaza crossing is for people traffic only. You can have a truce between Israel and Gaza. But as long as Palestinian children are left malnourished by deliberate actions of Israel, no amount of guided missile surgical strike assassination is going to make world want to make peace with Israel. You cannot starve or bomb people into liking you.

Most of all the team of pathologists who did the post-mortem on the victims, and found real multiple bullets in the brains of those shot at short range by Israeli commandos. Returning to the premise of the article, you are implying that the Anti-Jewish sentiment is a reason for people's concern with situation in Gaza, and not the fact that a historically unprecedented military, long term siege of three quarter of a million of children and minors is taking place in front of the world with a tacit approval of Americans.

Like in any negotiations, if you offer is close enough to what your opposite side wants, they will go for it. Not like you don't know what it is. But if you cannot get democratic majority in Israel to agree to it, then by default, Israel is choosing South Africa fate.

Israel would be delighted to talk for another 40 years.

The morally reprehensible stance is to blindly support the country that is committing crimes against occupied population (and labelling resistance fighters against occupation terrorists) and to mourn the dead of one's religion while treating with disdain and indifference the dead of those whom Israel occupies and kills with impunity. When racist cries Anti-Semitism, do charges cancel themselves out?

Why should other countries shoulder the burden of administering the territories - especially now, that there are so many Israeli citizen living there? And of course why should US and EU help solve the refugee issue that was entirely of Israel's making?
