So, even though the Palestinians are members of a group of nations which, collectively, control millions of square miles of territory and billions of dollars of oil; ...

Everyone is Israel's enemy? The Saudi's are really Palestinians in disguise? Egyptians are only Palestinians in disguise? Jordanians are only Palestinians in disguise? Turks are only Palestinians in disguise? Get real - or at least stop being paranoid.
America should have attacked Israel in 1967 because the Israeli government *intentionally* attacked the USS Liberty killing thirty some US service men and a few American civilians with the obvious intention of sinking USS Liberty. USS Liberty attacked was for reasons that officially are not clear. However (and also repeated by retired Fort Meade employees), USS Liberty was close to and monitoring a Israeli massacre of their Egyptian prisoners (retire employess say the massacre definitely happened - no doubt). Why did Israeli planes, then later Israeli PT boats attack a US ship for under 2 hours when they all knew it to be American? America still remained supportive of Israel.
American pro-Israeli attitudes were so strong that US press even dismissed Sadat's 1973 claims that war would occur if Israel continued to refuse to negotiate. Sadat said he would attack. An extremely pro-Israeli press called it a surprise attack - even though Sadat announced the attack in advance. Why? Israel had no better friends before, during and after 1967 - despite Adam's inaccurate statements. Only a paranoid, "everyone is my enemy" Likud mentality would believe that the Americans had turned anti-Israeli. Even in 1973, Americans were very pro-Israeli when the world was tiring of Israel's refusal to negotiate with Egypt, et al.
Even when no country would permit Israel arms shipped through their country - even then the US rebuilt the entire Israeli Air Force in the emergency resupply that dwarfed the Berlin airlift. Is that a country that was turning anti-Israeli? Of course not.
Adam thinks the US was anti-Israel when even US warships were fully involved in peripheral combat - in Israel's defense.
Adam also forgets Munich. He forgets history (which he was too young to remember). Adam lumps all others as his enemies. This is paranoia we call Likud. This is the paranoia that now makes Israel an international pariah. IOW, I now suspect, Adam is a "closet Likud".
Adam cannot even mention UN Resolution 242 - just like Likud. Not once does he even respond to posts on UN 242. He cannot even quote a post with UN242 - as if UN242 were Ebola. UN 242 **IS** a fundamental principal for Middle East peace - in the Oslo accords - to everyone except Likud. All but the "everyone is against us" Likud acknowledges the existance of UN 242. All but Adam.
Adam reports half truths - then accuses all other responsible news sources - from the Swiss to Japan - as being anti-Israeli. Paranoia just like Likud.
Adam not once acknowledges that Israeli dic head leader 1) repeatedly was insuborinate, 2) violated a cease fire bringing the world closer to nuclear war than the Cuban Missile Crisis, 3) setup the massacre of Palestinian women and children in Lebanon, 4) attacked another soveign nation in a surprise attack without even a declaration of war from his own government, 5) created the Lebanon morass while lying directly in the face of his Prime Minister, and 6) advocated the murder of Rabin. The murder of Rabin. Adam not once even dares to touch a single one of these accurate facts - because he is a "closet Likud"? The murder of Rabin.
Adam. Be a man. Acknowledge that Sharon advocated the murder of Rabin. Acknowledge the existance of UN Resolution 242. Be a man - not a fan of the dic head.
Likud - just another word for a racist, murdering, self righteous enemy of all human rights. Review previous posts. Not once does Adam ever separate himself from Likud. He even regards all others - even the US and UK - as enemies of Israel. Curious. Just like Ariel Sharon and Likud.
With Likud in power, Adam's enemies list has now grown to all other countries in the Middle East! That is paranoia. That is also Likud. That is what Adam is thinking? That is scary.
