Again it is reality.If anyone thinks that vast amounts of money and resources are not key points in the negotiations,then I don't know what to say.
Who do you think will foot the bill to reestablish Isreals economy which has taken a severe blow over the last two and a half years?
Who do you think will foot the bill to develop and maintain a sustainable infrastructure if a Palestinian state becomes reality?
Does it seem so incredible that Ariel Sharon is more than likely demanding major concessions since he has to make concessions of his own toward the existence of a Palestinian state? Or is that statement itself anti-semitic?
If this cartoon is anti-semitic for reasons posted,then what about the other side of the equation. An Arab could look at this cartoon and say it's stereotypically racist of how people perceive Arabs,that being looking dishevelled and dirty and not nearly important enough to even be offered money. Or what about proud Americans who think it is distasteful that the most powerful man in the world is on his knees pandering to someone when he has the power to not only make the rules,but also to be the rule.
If this is seen as anti-semitic by some,then so be it. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees.
