Kerry gives Netanyahu a well-deserved diplomatic slap in the face

41. Seveneyes, so much of what you said is strictly Likud spin.

That "tiny speck" that is Israel .... that part is true. The other land belongs to people who are all vying for this or that from one another. This didn't start with Israel's enemies.... it started thousands of years ago. Israel has created enemies where it wasn't necessary to, and if they didn't have the biggest bully in the world protecting them UNCONDITIONALLY, they would have smartened up generations ago, and tried to be a little more conciliatory by this time in history.

Now, the real problem in the middle east is NOT Iran, where our media keeps trying to make people look....it is Saudi Arabia. Ruled by a handful of religiously oppressive people (women can't drive?), and that family making a couple of billion dollars PER DAY in oil revenues, owns as much of the United States and the rest of the world as is humanly imaginable. (And at least 6% of Fox News (links available, but not from me), and they own Rupert Murdoch, always have....no link, just observation.) Saudi Arabia hates Iran as much as Israel does. Don't try to simplify the situation in the middle east by making Israel the victim here. They make trouble for themselves....like it or not....but it is all historical and cultural....not just to the holocaust, but centuries well before.

It is a different world for ALL of us on this planet. We are either going to learn to get along, or we are all going to annihilate ourselves. Nobody is blameless. Nobody. Don't try to convince yourself that Israel is blameless, especially with the current government under what is their version of george w. bush/dick cheney/donald rumsfeld/henry kissinger.
