		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re all confusing Obama&#039;s general dislike of Israel with US policy, which has always been to contain Israel.

Example:

&lt;strong&gt;Bush criticises settlements on Israel visit&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jan/09/usa.israelandthepalestinians&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jan/09/usa.israelandthepalestinians&lt;/a&gt;

Why do you all think no Republican or Democrat has ever followed through and moved the US embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem?

What Israel SHOULD do is the following:

1) Immediate diplomacy with Iran; In exchange for a peace treaty, help their nuclear program. The Arabs want Israel to stop Iran because it&#039;s in Arab interests, and objectively against Israel&#039;s interests in terms of realpolitik.
2) Refuse to take any more US Aid (in other words, subsidies for US weapon systems);
3) Order an entire air fleet - 1000 jet fighters - from Russia. Preferably whichever jet performs best against US supplied Arab air-forces. By now the US will get the message, and Russia will be much more pro-Israel.
4) Recognize the Palestinian Authority as the legitimate ruler of Jordan, with it&#039;s capital in Amman. Once they take Jordan, if they dare wage war with Israel, they will lose everything in the West Bank.
5) Tell the Egyptians that if they dare break the peace treaty, and start a war, should they lose, the Sinai will granted to the Gazans, the Suez will be made an international zone (as opposed to Jerusalem), and there will be a DMZ between Suez and Cairo. Because the Suez will be international, the British will immediately become much more neutral.
6) If the Turks don&#039;t become more neutral, Israel should back the Kurds, Armenians, Cypriots, and Greeks against Turkey.
7) If France doesn&#039;t become more neutral, recognize the independence of Corsica. If the British haven&#039;t gotten the message, recognize the independence of Scotland. If Spain doesn&#039;t get it, support Catalonia.

 And so forth.

Unless Israel actually stops ****ing around, the US containment strategy will keep on going.]]></description>

No, they want to throw their dead, mutulated bodies into the sea.  Let me know when the &quot;Palestinians&quot; even accept that Israel has the right to exist.  I will be long dead and buried, before that happens.]]></description>
