Is anyone else here incensed by Netanyahu's complete opposition to basic international law?
Now, is anyone else incensed by the Obama administration's pitter-pattering around the issue of basic human rights? Come on, now ...

The State of Israel knows all they have to do is start whining about anti semitism, and America will will cave in, and give Israel whatever it wants, be it arms or turning a blind eye to Israels illegal actions. Any illegal acts commited by Muslems in the area are given a glaring spotlight in the American press, while those of Israel are either minimized, or swept under the rug. In the eyes of the American government Israel can do no wrong. Get used to it, because this has been happening for over 40 years, and it's not going to end anytime soon. 😏

There's a poem about that.
References in literature
Sulafa Hijjawi (b. 1934), a Palestinian poet in Nablus, writes of the destruction of Zeita, her village, as follows: "In moments the village was gone, not a single bread oven remained, men and stones were powdered by enemy tractors. But Zeita rises again as tulips do."[17]

The president, meanwhile, has learned a thing or two about Jewish power in America. Next year there are elections for Congress, and he will need Jews' support to avoid losing the Democratic majority in one house or both. Obama realized just in time that he had erred and that removing settlements alone would not solve the conflict.
