TheOldSchool, et al,
Oh, I think it is a mistake to think like this.
(COMMENT)Ah so you're a crazy person with delusions of grandeur about Israel. That explains a lot.
The reality is that as the Administration shifts in the White House, so will the approach to foreign policy and diplomacy. There is a movement in the US, that is strongly considering that the US should totally abandon anything to do with the Arab Palestinians (West Bank and Jerusalem); and only be reconsidered if the Arab Palestinians show any reasonable progress towards peace.
There are a huge number of Americans that see a direct connection between the various organizations that have engaged in the “premeditated and politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant" and innocent members of the civilian population through bombings, kidnapping and murder, hijacking, and other forms of coercion and intimidation to to influence the policy of a government or challenge the territorial integrity or political independence of Israel or any state.
• HR 5433 --- Stop Funding Terrorism Act --- 113th Congress (2013-2014)
Introduced in House (09/10/2014)
Stop Funding Terrorism Act - Prohibits any direct U.S. assistance, loan guarantee, or debt relief to the Palestinian Authority (PA) or any affiliated governing entity or leadership organization.
States that such prohibition shall have no effect for a fiscal year if the President certifies to Congress that the PA has:
- formally recognized Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and publicly recognized the state of Israel,
- renounced terrorism and purged all individuals with terrorist ties from the security services,
- terminated funding of anti-American and anti-Israel incitement,
- publicly pledged to not engage in war with Israel, and
- honored previous diplomatic agreements.
Most Respectfully,

Not really. There will be no real changes until our politicians stop groveling in front of AIPAC every chance they get.
They are such an embarrassment.
You would rather they grovel to islamonazi terrorists posing as leaders ?
