I do wonder ho...Thank you for your comment/s John. I do wonder how the Sunni states cozying up to Israel will change the equation. If Israel has overt cooperation from Sunni states to strike Iranian nuke facilities, can the so-called "Palestinian-Israeli" conflict ever be the same? It's really always been an "Arab-Israeli" conflict. When the majority of Arabs split from their brethren in the territories, where will the Palestinian Arab's turn? Russia? Iran? Have Arab's tired of the whining of Palestinians? How will that play out in the political sphere?

But, because the political classes, certainly in Europe, are on the whole non-believers, they cannot comprehend the leverage that religions exert, specifically the conflict Islam has de facto with all the others.<br />Searching for a political solution is basically futile - the only lasting peace will in all probability be the result of segregation. Let them scream 'apartheid' - it's nothing like the South African model and discerning people everywhere are fully aware of that. Using inflammatory language like 'occupation' works in exactly the same way as it did during the early years of the Nazi party by creating a huge, mindless groundswell of ill-informed political cannon fodder for those whose agenda is mediated by only one thing - total domination.John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647833154827132967noreply@blogger.com
