Standard & Poor's demonstrated its loss of confidence in the ability of Washington to get its financial house in order by downgrading the U.S.'s bond rating. Much the same scenario has been playing out in the U.S.'s approach to Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Palestinian house inside cage in Jewish settlement
Ben Hubbard reports for AP from Beit Ijza, West Bank:

The al-Ghirayib family lives in one of the stranger manifestations of Israel's 43-year occupation of the West Bank: a Palestinian house inside a metal cage inside an Israeli settlement."

There is nothing left to add about the criminality of the Israeli regime in power. They have shredded the Geneva Conventions and ignored all other international law.

There is no further reason for the Palestinians to come to the table. Israel keeps stealing their land. Israel is not a partner for peace.

So, Netanyahu is trying to save his right-wing robber-baron supported government from 400,000 demonstrators by daring the Arabs to start another conflict so that he may say: "See, everyone's trying to kill us. We can't worry about small things such as housing in Tel Aviv and income disparity".

Remind you of a certain party in the US?

How many US Congressmen are now in receipt of free holidays in Israel, courtesy of the American taxpayers? Is it 81 in latest junkets?

Yes, what a surprise. More growth of illegal colonies of Jews in the West Bank. And this callous disregard for UNSC resolutions will be cheered and rewarded by numerous stooges of Israel in the US Congress.
