Israel needs to get real. The US is not in a position to defend Israel right now and it is true that they are Johnny-Come-Lately occupiers in that region. They seriously need to back off the Palestinians and put their religious extremism on the back burner for awhile.

I know the sites they want to occupy are “sacred” to their religion; but being alive is more sacred I would think. The jews took a big hit to their population in WWII and the last thing their ethnic base needs is another sweeping genocide. Time to stop wagging back and forth at the wailing wall, sober up and start talking compromise.

Religious fanaticism will be the death of them I think. Nobody wants them to stop worshipping how they do. They just want them to wake up and look around at the reality of fighting over ancient religious relics and start looking at getting along and staying alive.
