Obama driest wish it, therefore it won’t happen.

Sure, Israel and Saudia Arabia should sign a peace deal, no point Israel and Saudia Arabia going to war. Just lose, lose all round.

Dear Alan B.,

While I am disappointed with Diver Dan who started the comments, I thank you for not being the first.

War between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not on the cards anyway, nor has there ever been one.

However, Saudi Arabia signing a peace deal with Israel at this point in time, would provide legitimacy to the criminal Netanyahu who now attempts to eliminate Israel's High Court so he can become a dictator and stay in power forever; and to his Nazi coalition partners that encourage and protect Israelis who initiate pogroms in innocent Arab villages of the West Bank. I don't think they deserve such a reward.

It costs the US $4b dollars a year in aid, in order to manipulate Israeli domestic issues.

That’s the tussle you complain of continually.

SA is hamstrung in a similar way with US interference.

You shouldn’t complain; Obama hasn’t left the White House, which suits your side of the argument.

Israel had U.S. lackeys in Bennett and Lapid. You should know why Israelis threw them out, to be replaced with Netanyahu. Be realistic.

And I’m not a Democrat, where as you obviously are, but you will proceed to furiously deny it.

Dear Diver Dan,

I am not an American, but by the way you write you seem to be one.

America is not in my thoughts. Israel is.

Israel did not throw out Lapid and Bennett.

Both contributed a lot to Israel during their year in office, but predictable demographic currents are at work where orthodox Israelis bring more children on average, who now turned 18, giving Netanyahu a tiny majority, that too only with the help of electoral technicalities.

Bennett, now retired from politics, is no less right-wing than Netanyahu, but unlike him he is an honest and humble person.

Netanyahu's party used to be honourable and respectable, but has since been corrupted. Among the angry protesters are many former Likud ministers, including the son of Likud's legendary founder, Menachem Begin.

At times you’re frustratingly blind to political realities, and especially on the subject of US interference in ME politics and its effects on Israeli security.

I guess it’s a case of “ can’t see the woods for the trees”.

But outside of that, I’m a supporter.

Dear Diver Dan,

«and especially on the subject of US interference in ME politics and its effects on Israeli security.»

When Israelis stand together, their security is unshakable and they need no help from anyone outside.

Unfortunately, they no longer stand together.
