Political posts on the new Mylot

Answered one yesterday and it be gone which is a real pity as it concerned the perception different people have of different aspects of Israel, the people, the culture, the way they are governed and policed and of course, Palestine. Before replying I did some research to refresh the knowledge I already had and when I had finished my reply I was really pleased that my reply was respectful and was basically the truth with regards to the comments I made re human rights, Mossad and the Knesset. My wife is Jewish and I checked with her before posting the suggestion that the USA and of course the UK have far too much influence on Israeli relationships with Arab States - acknowledging that some protection is very much needed from a country like Iran. In my humble opinion, none of the last 5 Israeli leaders has actually ever convinced me that peace in the region is something Israel seeks - not least with the PLO which is of course something the whole region and I daresay the rest of the world would benefit from. Israel holds the record for for breaking the most UN resolutions, 32 since 1968!!! Why do our governments continue to offer support to this renegade state? We all condemn the actions of groups like Hamas and sanctions levied on them and the like for rule and resolution breaking are considerable - we need to sanction Israel in the same way. The very fact that we are doing nothing about this tells Israel that they can keep doing what they please and will continue to get our support. Time to tell our respective governments to get their finger out! Or we will vote in people who will!
