sticky: agreed for the most part.
strange--i didnt think we were heading here, but it is better this way.
actually, i would think that the acceptance of israel as a nation-state like any other could modulate american policy toward it as well. which would be a very good thing indeed, as the americans are in a positiont to do what they have been doing, which is allowing israel to act as though the rules that govern the actions of other nation-states do not apply to them when it comes to treatment of the palestinians in particular--or to force a change.
i think it well passed time to force a change.
but i dont see it happening with the right in power here.
regardless of how you understand the backstory of the right's policies toward israel--which loops back, to some extent, to the op.
