>Since when in history, do people get what they want?
'Tis actually a common (though obviously not universal) outcome. Just look at how many countries have been granted independence since the UN was formed.
>Israel effectively has the upper hand right now, with the situation in limbo as it is.
Yes it does, but what should it do with its upper hand? Should it pursue peace and justice? Or should it try to grab as much land as it can at the expense of peace?
>The Palestinian side show is detracting from the major issue of US meddling in the ME;
Without it the US would have much less motive to meddle in the ME.
>particularly with its softening view of Iran and the implications that has for the future stability of Israel.
Israel's much stronger than Iran, and that's not going to change.
>not the irrelevant issue of Palestinian separatist terrorism, supported by meddling
>Obama nightmarish dreaming of his version of the new world order.
Obama's involvement has been very limited.
'Tis Netanyahu, not Obama, who's done the most to promote Palestinian separatist terrorism. Rather than addressing the injustices that feed it, he's used it as an excuse for continued oppression.
This is not so much a matter of Israel v Palestine as it is of those who want peace v those who don't. Unfortunately Netanyahu's in the latter category. So is David Singer.
