According to the Reuters news agency, the United States government
will give Israel a written promise, that it will never have to withdraw
totally from the West Bank and that it can steal as much land from the
Palestinians it wants to. This would be a reward for Israeli withdrawal
from Gaza - of course the Prime Murderer of Israel has said in a
interview to the Maariv newspaper, that in reality, Israel will not withdraw
from Gaza; it will empty the colonies, but will continue to occupy the
borders of Gaza and the areas of the colonies.

It seems that the leadership of the United States once again thinks
not what its good for the United States, the Middle East or the world,
but thinks that it´s mission is to provide only what the current rulers
of Israel want.

United States has no right to give any promises, written or otherwise,
of this kind. Now, I promise here, written down, that Canada can, if
it wants to, make Oregon it´s province. It´s about as much legally or
otherwisely binding that the promise Reuters tells of.

Giving these kind of provinces will only deepen the hate felt towards
United States not only in Muslim countries, but pretty much every
where (Micronesia, the staunch supporter of Israel, exempted) in
the world. And why? To show that the government of the United
States is totally subservient to Israel? To show that countries that
occupy other people´s lands and cruel oppress the native people
should be rewarded for their actions?

If there would be any kind of sense in the US, the conflict in Palestine
would have long been history; but alas, Israel is a holy cow for
fundamentalist Americans, object of worship. Reason or what is good
for the US has then no meaning in decision making, only religious fervor
and the need to show obeisance to Israel, the earthly manifestation of the Christian God.

The Israelis will pay dearly for the love that the Americans feel for them.
Love blinds, and certainly when it comes to Israel, the majority of
Americans are blind.

According to AFP, 2932 Palestinians and 899 Israelis have died since
the fairy queen Ariel stormed the al-Aqsa mosque. When one reads
American newspapers, one would think that only a few Palestinians and
several thousand Israelis would have died.

I have to admit, it´s hard not to hate Israel and Israelis. Israel is the
last major bastion of European colonialism and the majority of Israeli
Jews seem to be totally lacking of human decency. Palestinians are
ready to give up 78% of the former British colony of Palestine, yet this
is not enough to the majority of Israeli Jews. Hunger grows when you
eat, it is said, and the same seams to be in case when you are talking
about stealing of land.

I hope that in the end all the US support of Israel will be in vain and
Israel will go the way of the Crusader kingdoms; it should not be
necessary, but the both current governments of Israel and the United
States make their best to destroy all hope of a negotiated settlement.
And if the fate of Palestine will be decided by force, Israel will certainly
dominate for so time, but in the end all states that fight endless wars
will fall. Violence destroys in the end those that use it. Israel will be no
exemption.
