"America and Israel are joined at the hip and if either over plays their hand in the middle east - they both will go down together and it won't be in glory" - Allen L Roland

Israel, like its American sponsor and protector, has no intention of leaving the occupied Palestinian territory ~ just as the United States has no intention of leaving occupied Iraq.
Here is an excerpt from the excellent book by James Petras (his lastest) on the power/influence of the pro-Israel lobby in the USA:
" The US is the only country in the world where the peace movement is unwilling to recognize, publically condemn or oppose the major influential political and social institutions consistently supporting and promoting the US wars in the Middle East.
The political power of the pro-Israel power configuration, led by the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC), supported within the government by highly placed pro-Israel Congressional leaders and White House and Pentagon officials has been well documented in books and articles by leading journalists, scholars and former President Jimmy Carter.
The Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC) has over two thousand full-time functionaries, more than 250,000 activists, over a thousand billionaire and multi-millionaire political donors who contribute funds both political parties. The ZPC secures 20% of the US foreign military aid budget for Israel, over 95% congressional support for Israel’s boycott and armed incursions in Gaza, invasion of Lebanon and preemptive military option against Iran."
US Middle East Wars: Social Opposition and Political Impotence James Petras July 4 2007 Expecting the discredited Tony Blair to be an honest broker in the middle east is a cruel joke to both the Palestinians and moderate Israelis. We must face the fact that both the United States and Israel are illegally occupying countries and Blair is incapable of carrying the blazing torch of that truth.
America and Israel are joined at the hip and if either over plays their hand in the middle east ~ they both will go down together and it won't be in glory.
