As usual, the people are far ahead of the politicians:
Nearly 70 percent of Israelis surveyed recently said that Israel should accept a Palestinian state if the United Nations chooses to recognize it, according to a report in Thursday’s edition of The Jerusalem Post.
The poll results fly in the face of American conservatives and even President Barack Obama, who have taken the lead in discouraging the U.N. from voting on the matter, claiming that it could threaten Israel’s security.
In Israel, like here in the United States, the oligarchy couldn’t care less about what the people want. It’s what THEY want that counts. That’s what having all that money allows you to do. Not a single Republican, and few Democrats, actually represent the people. Most plutocrats don’t identify with those seen to be below them. Ever.
