the Quartet [the United States, European Union, United Nations, and Russia].

Now there is a nice unbiased group. NOT! The UN is composed of a bunch of representatives of tyrants and dictators, many of them Arab, and very firmly anti Israel. Russian has supported Israel's enemies, first as the Soviet Union and continuing as Russia, for decades. The European Union is overrun with Arabic Muslims and many of the European countries had and have signifignet anti semitic groups within them. Only he US has been a "friend" to Israel, but the many Arabists in the State department are always fighting that position. Instead of holding their coat, as friend would, we've held them back after their enemies have struck the first blow, and many subsequant ones besides. I don't understand why the US thinks that what works and is right for us, is wrong and/or won't work for them.

"...I don't understand why the US thinks that what works and is right for us, is wrong and/or won't work for them."

And there it is in a nut shell. What a double standard. The Israelis -- more specifically, the JEWS -- are still second class citizens in the eyes of the international community...and even particulars within the U.S.

Thing is, I don't think they're going to tolerate it much longer. Their national mindset just doesn't strike me as being condusive to being led to the slaughter as in centuries past.

They have guns now. Big ones. And they know how to use them.
