Well, Now We Know: Netanyahu Will Never Support A Two-State Solution
Nor, really, do the Zionists of the Republican Party, the Christian Zionists among Americans, or even some Zionist Democrats.
Personally, I agree with Bibi's and Gold's strategic estimates of what's safest for Israel and have no wish to see the US force them to accept a Palestinian state in return for formal guarantees, whether in a treaty or not, that the US will always come to their rescue and treat them as fully covered by a US nuclear umbrella.
The survival of Israel is not really our problem, and Bibi understands that, push come to shove, the US cannot be expected to be quite so irrational as to defend Israel as it would Long Island.
Nor is the national independence of Latvia our problem, by the way, or any of the states that became independent with the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Nor is the defense of anybody outside the US, really, though in practice I suppose we need to be concerned with all of North America above the equator.
Anybody else?
No, and commitments to the contrary are stupid reflections of persistent and carefully cultivated American delusions of grandeur, mixed with utter dishonesty about where exactly the vital interests of the US really lie.
