This has not been a good week, or actually a good 6 months for Israel. There are Israelis getting stabbed and hacked to death, and riots in East Jerusalem. The latest setback is that the National Assembly of France yesterday passed a non-binding resolution to be presented to the government calling for the recognition of Palestine as a state. This follows similar actions already taken by Spain, Great Britain, Ireland and Sweden, after a strongly worded request by the US to vote no.( this probably made the yes vote inevitable). The government of Israel has pretty much dissolved, as Netanyahu dismissed his Finance and Justice Ministers for being critical of his handling of the government, and called for early elections, 2 years ahead of schedule. One reason for this is Netanyahu's political party, Likud, and other far right parties calling for Israel to be Jewish first, and a democracy second, and to have this added to the Basic Law of Israel, which is similar to the US Constitution. It removes Arabic as a official language, and will further marginalize the Arab population, which is the point I guess.
The real kicker though is the UN resolution passed Tuesday, calling for Israel to open up it nuclear facilities for inspection, something that Iran has done, but Israel refuses to do, making it the ONLY Middle Eastern nation not to have signed The Treaty of Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This is going to get sticky for Israel and the US, whereas they are calling for no nuclear development by Iran for any purpose, while Israel has WMD's already ( If you think Israel doesn't have nuclear weapons, wake the fuck up). If there is equal fairness and justice on this planet, sanctions should be placed on Israel, just like Iran, until they open up for inspection. But we all know that will never happen because of the unrelenting support for that arrogant and criminal nation by the sellouts in Congress, and the veto power of the US in the UN, which had been used previously to balance the might of the super powers. Now, it seems it is only used by the US to protect Israel from the world at large, but those day's are waning, and long overdue. Oh, and by the way, if anyone wants to prod Israel into acting like a partner in the world community, the Boycott Divest Sanction movement is a good place to start. Leave those Israeli tomatoes on the shelf, as every little bit helps, and the US can't stop that.
