[...] US concern about Israel’s illegal settlements is 42 years too late -That U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had the courage to tellAIPAC’s conference that Israel’s continued construction of Jewishhousing on occupied territory is undermining both the prospect for peace andAmerica’s credibility and own best interests was good news.

Either the US or Israel can use the issue of settlements as a bargaining chip. The US may be hoping that it can persuade another silly “freeze” on settlements if Israel will back down on the issue of attacking Iran. On the other hand, Israel may be willing to back down on the settlements in return for the US backing an Israeli attack on Iran.

That’s what Iran has to do with settlements.

Why though is the US so besotted with the criminal non-state of so-called Israel.

It is not a real state, it has no real law, it has no democracy for part of the population and to hear Clinton call it a jewish state followed on the delusion.

It is time the world stopped this nonsense now that Israeli historians are telling us the truth about the wars and pathetic victimhood that the jews of Israel indulge in.

How is the current dispute over settlements linked to the issue
of Israel trying to pull the US into a war against Iran? I know that recent weeks have seen heightened speculation about Israel wanting to attack Iran, provoke a counter attack and thereby
force the US to join the attack. Given that that was or is still
the case, announcing new settlements in East Jerusalem during
Biden’s visit might have been a provocation intended for testing
the waters. After all, it was not only Obama who suddenly changed tone towards Israel but also other Western leaders even including Israel’s greatest friend Merkel. Is it not plausible that it’s
all due to the Western economies still being in a very precarious state? A war and, in consequence, an interruption of the oil flow out of the Persion Gulf might therefore not be something Obama and the other leaders are prepared to risk.

At this point, I doubt that the US government will ever do anything about Israel, regardless of who is in the White House. The whole charade is utterly revolting. I don’t know how much more of this “assuming the position” Obama intends to do, but he’s starting to look as though he likes it. Biden and Clinton certainly do.

Alan when I listen to the lies of Netanyahu at AIPAC and the almost incredible suggestions by Cong. Lindsey Graham for the USA to”destroy every plane and ship” in Iran in order to protect Israel, and then the loud applause from 7500 Americans whose actions only hurt them, I just despair of any possible agreement. War suits Israel and they continue to act the victim.
