Ultracons
Forget neocons, when it comes to Israel you’re dealing with ultracons. Whatayahoo is back, now in a coalition government with ultranationalist Avigdor “Loyalty Oaths for Arabs” Lieberman, who is already turning up the rhetorical heat:
“Whoever thinks that he will achieve something by way of concessions – no, he will only invite more pressure and more wars,” Lieberman said. “If you want peace, prepare for war.
Sad thing is that he’s probably got a hot line to our Lieberman, you know, the one who is part of the AIPAC ‘family,‘ as well as to god knows how many other US Congressional leaders.
I doubt US policy re the cis-Jordan will change in any substantive fashion and the status of the Arabs in the Occupied Territories will continue to deteriorate. Avigmentum?
*Update* Man I had no idea what a fucking rat bastard that Israeli Loserman is – I hope he’s just a loudmouth, and not a potential Butcher of Sabra II
Stumble it!

The US needs to look after its own interests in the Middle East — which are not necessarily Israel’s interests.
