Re: Petulant Zionist Israel.
Israel still has the support of America.
That remains to be seen.

On or around March 22 Trump gave a speech to AIPAC (which lobbies for Israel all through Congress and which has protected Israel from censure and made sure the US do whatever it takes to protect Israel)
In his speech he condemned Obama, staunch critic of Netanyahu's policies.
The audience, at first reluctant to listen to what they called a quasi fascist candidate, applauded the speech.
However the next day the Head of APAIC roundly condemned the audience for supporting Trump.
There appears to be some change of position within APAIC regarding the unconditional support it gives to Israel .
I have to say Muddy's telling of Eastern Mediterranean history is a tad lopsided but in fact it doesn't matter here...that is not the subject of this thread. We are where we are...after years of stealing water by diverting aquifers, bombing children, murdering Palestinian owners of land and farms, holding Palestinians in prison under what is called Administrative Detention (ie no trial, not release) , shutting power on and off at will, denying Palestinians a seaport or freedom to leave the country unless with a pass, destroying their homes and not allowing them to rebuild (a blockade on cement) the people of Palestine are a tad fed up.
They deserve their own state and the rest of the world agrees.
