Israel’s new foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, announced VERY clearly that he refuses any kind of “concessions” to Palestinians and said,” Those who want peace should prepare for war and be strong.” And his new prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has always strongly opposed the idea of a sovereign Palestinian state. His most generous offer for the Palestinians is a promise of a better economic situation under the Israeli occupation and after a while he may think of giving them “self-governing”. Clearly this new radical government is a government of war and refuses to admit the legitimacy of any Palestinian state and NO ONE in the Western world is even threatening them of isolation unless they change their radical views like they have always demanded from the Palestinians.
On the contrary, shortly after this radical government took office in Israel, the U.S. State Department announced,” The United States is committed to working with the Israeli government to work for peace and stability in the region and will remain unalterably committed to Israel’s security.” What kind of hypocrisy is this? Why the double standards? Why are the Palestinians asked to admit the legitimacy of their enemies’ state when their enemies refuse to acknowledge any solution based on establishing a Palestinian state?

Samer,
In your article you ask legitimate questions such as, “What kind of hypocrisy is this?”, “Why the double standards?”, and finally, “Why are the Palestinians asked to admit the legitimacy of their enemy’s state when their enemies refuse to acknowledge any solution based on establishing a Palestinian state?”
These are all good questions that deserve answers. That being said, the answers will never come, at least not in a way that would ever benefit the Palestinian people. The reason those answers will never come is simply because the United States government is controlled, occupied, and its policies set by Israelis/Jews…..not Palestinians/Arabs.
Just ask yourself these questions:
How many Jews occupy high positions in the United States government?
How many Palestinians/Arabs occupy high positions in the United States government?
There’s your answer.

Thank you so much for your great comment Mythos! I totally agree with what you said. However, I wonder, is it really honorable or ethical to serve your country’s interests by involving in another country’s politics and giving money and support to its politicians like the Israelis are doing in your country? If they are playing a dirty game, should we also do the same?

Of course it’s not ethical.
The only reason this country supports Israel unconditionally is because the Jews here in America have the majority of Christians thinking that they are serving God by doing so.
They have perverted the word of God to these Christians by making them think if they don’t support Israel (and thus turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the Israeli government/IDF) then they are somehow in conflict with God and will not make it to Heaven.
The last time I checked the only way to the God of Abraham was through belief in His Son Jesus Christ. I don’t recall the Bible saying the only way to God was through unconditionally supporting Israel no matter how many atrocities and terrorist acts it commits against innocent civilians!
