Disgusting.
Disgusting is right. What kind of foreign policy is this?
Re your #3;
Well, THIS American opines that Israel has already been coerced into way too many "concessions", and I'm ashamed of my own Government for doing what is so blatently stupid.
Admittedly, I'm no expert on ME affairs - but I get the strong sense that it's the Saudis who are "pressuring" the Adim. in DC to "pressure" our (former?) allies in Israel to keep retreating toward the sea.
And who has seen to it that our economy and security remains dependant on Saudi oil while vast resources under our own turf remain off limits?
Our domestic enemies are doing one bang-up job, with total impunity, aren't they?
The next scene may well be the "final solution" as Islamic coallition forces swoop down on Israel while Arabia gets a stranglehold on the fuel supplies of anyone inclined to intervene (is anyone other than the US in that catagory?) and China holds a nuke or two over our heads.
We'll be forced to stay out of it at the very least, if not join in the persecution.
The stage is all set, isn't it?
And the pattern is so consistant with ancient prophecy, that the outcome, as far as those of us who still believe that stuff are concerned, is a foregone conclusion.
Yesterday we saw a play in which our Sister in Law played a part... and how ironic;
"Fiddler on the Roof".
It's Deja Vu all over again.
They will kill or relocate all the mass-murdering "palestinians"?
