The priority is that the answer is "no" for those who advocate that Israel continues to "negotiate" instead of honoring the request of Palestinians for sovereign statehood. It will be a negative answer. Oh, and if that does not work, WE are poised to VETO the "yes" vote of those advocates at the UN for a Palestinian state. Israel and its allies are very happy to negotiate years away, knowing there will be no settlement because, as usual, something will impede agreement between the two brothers. In addition, it will of course be the fault of the Palestinians - or anybody else for that matter. No matter what Israel does, it is the fault of somebody else. And we back them up. However, not all of Israel agrees with the unsavory actions of Israel in the name of defending itself.
During the Lebanon war with Israel (or Israel's 34-day war with Hezbollah in 2006), one defense fighter said something that has never, never been repeated or enlarged upon by any media in the world I am sure. If that statement is wrong, I welcome a correction (that would be so much quicker than viewing the complete war on video in my library): "All of our actions are reactions." That means they do not initiate - they respond to what the occupation does to them, but it takes media to reveal what really transpires. "All of our actions are reactions." In the last analysis, Israel has its bazookas, air power, nuclear power, and biological warfare supplied by US, and the occupied has more like "home-made" weaponry compared to all that. No wonder they try to even the fighting field.
No wonder other nations are doing everything they can to arm themselves to stave off arrogant intruders from somewhere. No wonder everybody wants a BIG gun and the opponents do not want them to acquire them because they are afraid of even playing fields. Remember the white phosphorus used on the Lebanese? The media really downplayed that too, unless I went to sleep somewhere. It is a pity this protagonist-antagonist factor is not more even-handed. Could that be why there is so much opposition to Palestine becoming a sovereign state? Would not they have standing armies, navies, air forces, and in other words, be legally armed? I wonder.
