Maybe so. I'd rather he sent a non-Jew as his representative. He should demonstrate that support for Israel is a US policy and priority, not just the small cabal of powerful Jews, like Elder of Zion Rahmbo.......oh wait, I was thinking of the UN.

Jason H., Hard to tell if you are serious. There is no basis for your assertion that the "Israeli mind" doesn't want peace, and plenty of evidence to the contrary. As for the "ultra-nationalists," the worst they have proposed is to transfer the Arabs out of Israel; hardly invoking a "final solution." Does it not bother you that no Arab country will allow any sizable number of Jews to reside there, and managed to kick out hundreds of thousands of Jews over the last 60 years? Also, if Israel was so powerful, and such an aggressor, then why does it still endure rocket attacks, boycotts, a formal state of war from so many of its neighbors, etc. It isn't the "occupation," since this has been the state of affairs since, well, forever.

To Walid Maaytah: What "better terms" could you possibly mean? Both Hamas and Fatah continue to say they are committed to the destruction of Israel, no matter the borders. The PLO was started BEFORE the 1967 war. The most Israel could get now is a truce, while Hamas and the PA build up their forces, continue the indoctrination of the youth, and do their part to maintain mediocre conditions. And what "horriffc" conditions? True, some parts of Gaza are in poor shape, but some areas, and some people there are doing quite well. There is no mass starvation, no mass dying, just inflammatory rhetoric about "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." And it's just inaccurate to blame Israel for anything and everything that's gone wrong? What about Hamas' violent coup in Gaza? What about its repression of free speech? Its refusal to build any kind of economy? When Israel left Gaza, it left behind a beautiful greenhouse. Hamas destroyed it. So blaming Israel and mischaracterizing the government as "extremists" is no path to peace.

Too bad Baltzer hasn't used her brain power to learn some of the actual history of the region, the division of the area's land by the British, the promise of a Jewish homeland much much larger than the State of Israel, etc. Not to mention the fact that most of the problems of the Palestinians are self-inflicted: failure to build an infrastructure during times of peace, misuse of massive aid monies, 10 children per family, focus on incitement and hatred instead of nation-building. As far as "disproportionate concern" by American citizens about what's happening with US weapons and money, why is she ignoring Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which receive money and/or weapons, not to mention various other countries around the globe? Those and other Arab countries routinely oppress the Palestinians, even worse than their own citizens.
