The Israelis have problems.

They are a deeply racist people.

Their racism against their fellow Semites is deeply ingrained and comes from their ancestral world view plus their present upbringing and education in Israel.

They think they are some sort of “Chosen People” and above all the Semites around them.

Because they are “chosen” they think they can steal other peoples’ land and live on it.

The stole the land in what is now Israel in 1948 by massacre followed by ethnic cleansing.

They are now trying to steal the land of the West Bank.

Israel is a nation of thieves, freeloaders and lunatics.

They freeload on the US and Europe..

They steal and settle Palestinian land.

Some of them are lunatic enough to believe that they have a contract with some god or other that allows them to steal other peoples’ land.

It is impossible to make peace with people like this.

Netanyahu cannot even stop illegal settlement activity in the West Bank not to mind bring peace there.

In two years time, when nothing has happened but more settlements and Obama standing for re-election, the Palestinians will learn this lesson - yet again.

The Palestinians should follow the Saudi advice and declare an independent state on pre ’67 borders.

That will be a start.
