As EK gives us the biggest crock of hooie I have ever heard, as he says, "Your oppressed Palestinians are there because they refuse to try and improve themselves and live side by side."
When in fact Israel does not give the Palestinians any chance to do so. They embargo the economies of both Hamas and the West Bank, they control all the water rights, confiscate all their taxes, and the fact is and remains, like American slaves prior to our American civil war., the Palestinians will never free themselves with out external force.
But still EK, maybe you are partially right, the Arabs do not yet have the military force to allow them to free the Pals. But still, that does not mean the Arabs support Israel in any way, and now in the last eighteen months, Israel has lost the support of every mid-eastern neighbor when it used to have. As Israel used to have three mid-east neighbors they could semi-count on and now Israel is down to zero.
But that is not the main factor, the EU has increasing disgust with Israel, its going to become ever more costly for the USA to support only Israel, as the USA is seeing their own foreign policy becoming increasingly more costly and untenable in the mid-east. While at the same time, Russia has no love lost on Israel, Turkey as a new power broker in the mid-east will not tolerate Israeli attacks on Israel, as India and China both want a piece of the Iranian oil market. While the rest of the world in the general assembly tend to side with the Palestinians.
Maybe Nixon and Johnson may have viewed Israel as a stabilizing force in the mid-east, but now most of the world now views Israel as the number one danger to mid-east stability. The larger world may not give a damn about the Palestinians or Israelis, but they have a huge interest in mid-east stability and an Israel increasing going into la la land extremism, leaves the larger world unable to support Israeli extremism as any road to mid-east stability.
And now it goes to the UN general assembly for a vote, its more likely that Israel will be the nation under the microscope.
Like I say, time will tell, and we will see how events will unfold.
