"Second, Israel at its worst, is devouring Palestinian farms and homes in the West Bank in ways that are ugly, brutal, selfish and deceitful, so much worse than its supporters will ever admit. Third, Israel lives in a dangerous region — surrounded by people who hate it not only for what it does but for what it is, a successful Jewish state — but its actions matter, too. It can ameliorate or exacerbate Arab antipathy."
Not written by a rabid anti-semite or anti-Zionist, but none other than basically Israel booster Thomas Friedman.
With Israel pounding a path to other countries to try and persuade them to not fall for any sort of deal with the Iranians - an increasing likelihood - in his latest op-ed piece in The New York Times, Friedman strongly urges US Secretary of State Kerry to speak with the Israeli PM and to sort things out for once and for all time in the ongoing mess, certainly between the Palestinians and Israel, and beyond in the Middle East. In the meantime all reports suggest, not at all surprisingly to those who watch events in the Middle East, that the so-called peace talks between the Palestinians and Israelis have floundered - yet again!
