Some people think that Israel is due for some sour relations with the United States because Benjamin Netanyahu is a right-wing asshole who should be shipped off to Australia, and the United States now has a President with a brain and the courage to do what’s right in stating that the Palestinian need their own internationally recognised country in the internationally recognised borders around the West Bank and Gaza.

What I don’t understand is why Israel does not guarantee a COMPLETE withdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem and guarantee an enforcement of equal rights for Israeli Arabs in return for the guaranteed full military support of an American CVBG in the event of an armed conflict with Iran…
