So Much For "Peace on Earth"... "Good Will Towards Men". Israeli Foreign Minister says Peace Agreement is "Simply Forbidden"

Yeah,... That's what I call a real "pisser". I mean, Come on! What's up with that? I am not anti-jewish, but,.... I think the attitude of Israel is unconscionable. They have proven themselves time and time again to be the heaviest handed, most aggressive country, in the entire middle east. Can someone out there tell me why we support their arrogance? Has our government cast all values of freedom and fairness aside?

Why should millions of Palestinian refugees buy into the Israeli insistence that the "Jewish right to statehood is a tenet of international law"? Every one of Israel’s governments has made a profession of violating international laws such as those embodied in the Geneva Conventions. So, this claim is simply hypocritical. Why should anyone give credence to Israel’s assertion that it be accorded rights it has systematically denied others?

The assertion of recognition of Palestinian rights is a weak red herring. The only way the Israelis recognize the existence of the Palestinian people is by evicting them daily so as to clear the way for their illegal colonization of conquered land.
President Obama stated that Israel must stop the illegal settlement of Palestinian land. So, what is going on here? Why, at this particular time, do we get an emphasis on Israel as a "Jewish state?"

Judaism is a religion that, at its best, demands tolerance and acceptance of the other. Zionism is a political ideology centered on an ethnic exclusiveness that leads, almost inevitably, to apartheid. The truth is that Israel is not a Jewish state. It is a Zionist state. For years Zionists have sought to make the two synonymous. But they are not the same, and as long as Israel fails to recognize Palestine as being legitimately entitled to their own state, with an inalienable right to self-determination in its homeland, there will never be peace.

It is a matter of mutual respect for the right to exist. President Obama has stated the guidelines that need to be respected and observed, if there is to be legitimate talk of peace. Israel must stop its invasion and colonization of Palestinian land. Why then,... do we keep supporting Israel, when Israel chooses to oppress and invade Palestine, and ignore all mutuality in negotiations?
