Time to cut the cord.

For years, and a few presidents, the United State has been working on getting peace in Israel.

The two major things that needed to be dealt with were a Palestinian state and a less manic approach to settlement building.

Benjamin Netanyahu had been saying for years that he was in favor of a two state solution, and it was on his statement to that effect that the United States worked with him in good faith.

The settlement thing is just purely obnoxious as it seems that whenever we, his allies, caution them about plowing through Arab citizens’ land to build settlements, Israel would go right out and plow more land and build another settlement.

At least based on his support of the two state solution, there was hope that things could be adjusted.

But then, when it looked like he would lose his bid for re–election, Netanyahu did what the GOP here in the United States finds so helpful. He threw principle away and appealed to the right wing.
He abandoned the idea of the two state solution, which means he does not care how that would affect America’s attempts for Middle East peace, or he had been leading us on because it was expedient to do that to keep getting money from us.

Then he announced he would not stop settlement building which further jeopardizes any peace as he will now have to keep both pledges and anger the very Arabs he tell us hate Israel and want to destroy it.

And, if that wasn’t enough, he promoted racial tensions to get the far right Israeli vote by claiming that Jews needed to get out and vote because the Arab citizens of Israel, about 20% of the population, were getting out and voting. The Arabs being on the verge of taking over the country was a strong appeal to prejudice that worked.

Now, Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of he Palestinians on the West Bank, who has been somewhat able to keep a lid on things because of a possible two state solution, has lost that one promise, and may not be able to keep the lid on very much longer.

And that use of Arabs as a threat to get votes? It may upset other Arabs enough to have them take action.

But what does Bibi care?

He has the GOP fawning all over him and treating him like they did Putin last summer. They have declared where their loyalties lie.

And if the Arab world and the Palestinians decide they have nothing to lose now, and just go for it, Bibi knows that as Israel’s ally and with the money to be made with the sale of munitions and the money that will go to politicians in the U.S. who will make sure they can pay them back for their financial support, more of our service men and women will die or come home lame.

Maybe since Netanyahu was able to so easily throw the Palestinians, the peace talks, the two state solution, and the lives of our military that will end up involved in his need to make good on his last minute campaign rhetoric, it is time to cut the umbilical cord, show the Arab world that we are as angry as they are, keep the money we send to Israel home to take care of our own domestic needs, and let Israel clean up its own mess.

Netanyahu has played us the fool.

Time to get our dignity back.
