    I think this here is some more crap that needs well and truly cutting:

    "And I support a viable two-state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict,"

    There is no viable two state solution. If such a thing was viable then all parties acting in good faith could have achieved it years ago.

    The reason Israel "says" it supports a two state solution is because they know it will never come to pass. They don't want any kind of solution. At least not any kind of solution that they would be prepared to be honest about. So they keep on harping about a "solution" they know will never be and under that cover and its never never land prospects they work for the one that they want. And everyone else has played along with them, not daring to think that Israel might really be up to something that they intend will be in Israel's interest but not in the Palestinians. And for their un spoken ambitions to be realised the Palis must loose.

    "It's not sufficient that I succeed, but that my friends must fail." Gore Vidal.
