I'm at a loss with your description of the Palestinian/Israeli situation. You sound like you think there was a 'war' between Palestine and Israel. I admit I'm no M.E. scholar but all the wars I know about involving Israel post partition plan involve several Arab countries against a fledgling Western nation. Any land grabbing not sanctioned by the UN was done after Israel was threatened by Syria, Jordan and Egypt during the 6 day war. Recent Israeli attempts at pacification by giving up some of these lands has been repaid with attacks. Of course there's more then one side to this story but hearing all the rhetoric from Arab countries in the last 30 years or so has me convinced peace has never been further away. Arabs don't want peace they want to annihilate Jews. The recent 'Arab Spring' and the forming of Muslim Brotherhood governments with peculiar new laws further demeaning already subjugated women just reinforces my poor opinion of the backward culture these folks have to endure. God help them all.
From my observations it seems clear the surrounding countries have no interest in a strong and independent Palestine. They want that land for themselves. If every Jew picked up and left today by tomorrow a half dozen Arab countries would be staking their claim and the so-called 'Palestinians' would remain the perpetual refugees that they are and be shoved off further into the desert. Darwin's Theory and all that.
Soooo glad to be appreciated Vam. I especially like it when my perspective is critiqued soundly. There is much we would probably agree on and I have been known to be wrong. Occasionally.

Don I am not saying Saddam was perfect,, but then no world leader is.. It was the desire for Bush to be a great war time leader that brought on the Iraq war not human rights.. The invasions have all been based on oil or other means to pay for the cost of war.. You talk about the Philistine people being the terrorists.. well how to you take into the account of Israel taking their land by force.. and in their war which they would have lost if the US had not stepped in supplying them with the needed ammunition to carry it on..Putting it bluntly the US has in the past supported Israels terrorism as it has continued to this day.. If the US did not support Israels terrorism the world would a different more peaceful place.. face reality Don if there was no law in Texas region and your neighbor came over and stole your stuff you would be strapping on your guns and going to go get your property back...You can not place blame on people for wanting to recover what is theirs and support those that stole the property in the first placeAllanOn Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 2:36 AM, Don Johnson <dajohn@gmail.com> wrote:

Russia is fairly cozy with Syria's current leaders. Any military intervention by a Western power would be seen as provocative by Russia. Their presence on the security council blocks any official military action from the UN. Veto power. We have seen what 'unilateral' intervention by a Western country can do to it's world reputation. Your reference to IraqContinued....and the USA's invasion and occupation doesn't mention WHY this was done nor what led up to it. It might interest you to know that human rights groups had been whining for YEARS about Saddam's abuses. The UN, left to it's own ineffectual devices, will do nothing.So, you ask why Western countries don't interfere. Look to Iraq and see your answer. If you ask why neighboring countries don't interfere it's because they expect the US or UN to to all the heavy lifting so they do nothing. Just like those countries surrounding Palestine that could help that country succeed and prosper by helping it rid itself of militant trouble makers like the PLO but instead enable them to greater mischief. They were very effective in raising money for so-called 'aid' that was used instead for terror purposes and to solidify their own power. It's a shame really. Israel could be a great neighbor if hate were put on the back burner and tolerance and respect given a chance.I am not holding my breath. BTW, Iran has it's stinky little fingers in all these Mid-East pies as well. I'm not being racist, dammit I'm calling the Government stinky, not the Iranian people. Them I like well enough and was frankly disappointed Obama did NOTHING after that bogus election and crack-down on dissenters that followed. Nary a peep about that do we hear do we?dj
