The Middle East merry go round

Barrack and Joey are angry

I hate saying I told you so but I told you so.
Another wasted trip to Israel and another pointless round of talks. Some fights some disagreements. It doesn’t make any real difference. The Middle East stalemate is just that a stalemate that is here to stay. Johnson could not change it Nixon could not change Clinton could not change it and neither could all the rest. Obama will not and cannot change the reality on the ground.
The facts are that the sides are in disagreement in the extreme for the last 100 years. The core of the disagreement is that Israel is not wanted in the middle east. Period.
The Arabs ( even the moderate ones ) do not except the presence of Israel here. That fundamental issue has not changed.

The rest is hogwash.
