Stop the total BS that the US of A is an "honest broker" for peace in Palestine/zionist entity. The US of A is NOT anything of the sort. The US government and congress is a totally AIPAC owned entity.<br />Your solution at least does offer some real possibility for a true peace among the people who are caught in the terrible mess created by Empire.<br />ENOUGH! Enough of the damn fool, useless wars of choice. Enough of the stupid racism that humanity has endured for far, far too long.

If the Jews living in Israel are themselves THERE largely due to the Nazis wanting to get rid of them, how can Israel be a Nazi state?Dean6790https://www.blogger.com/profile/09614703744987564469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-91204152081642144282013-05-30T20:21:46.453+05:302013-05-30T20:21:46.453+05:30The USA *can* feed its children; we choose not to....The USA *can* feed its children; we choose not to.

Therefore, as Chomsky would say, this discussion is not even on the political spectrum of acceptable debate in the West. <br /><br />Nevertheless, as some of our "moderates" have come out in support of a two-state solution, it has occurred to me that this is a cop-out at best and actually a horrible idea at worst. <br /><br />Where else would this really seem like a good idea?<br /><br />As you said about with India and Pakistan, it leads to some horrible choices, and creates a situation where a former domestic problem is now an international problem. If I thought that the international community would be any better at keeping Israel in line with a neighboring state than they are with an internal population, I might think differently. But the UN has NEVER shown any ability to do anything about Israel's crimes.<br /><br />I'll read this again.

And yet, the conflicts have so ingrained themselves in public consciousness on either side that nobody in power can call for a realistic assessment of force levels or cutting of defence expenditure. It does not hurt them either that the defence procurement process is extremely corrupt and kickbacks and slush funds are there to be had."<br /><br />this paragraph sticks with me, you could be describing USA or even Italy now that NATO has its hooks in her<br />Chihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301786815598078257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-63050463934319560712013-05-27T16:07:12.445+05:302013-05-27T16:07:12.445+05:30Well, it made it, didn't it?

While we have always been supporters of the idea of a united, democratic, secular Palestine (ala Edward Said, I believe), we've never made the analogy you so well draw between India-Pakistan and Palestine.
