Don’t expect Western politicians to do much to change the situation in the Middle East. Whilst there may be criticism from our leaders of one or other side in the conflict, the current situation serves us quite well and so action that radically changes it, is unlikely. Israel is a strong ally of the west in a region that is generally not noted for its love of either America or Europe, and therefore keeping Israel onside is important. Added to that Israel has extremely good pharmaceutical, IT, security and defense industries which are all very useful to us. All that the Palestinians have are blood and bones.
The realpolitik of the Israel / Palestine problem is that Israel is of far more use to us than Palestine. There are 2 ways out of this. Firstly, the Palestinians strike oil and start to have something that will make them our “friend” or secondly, we elect decent politicians who are prepared to make a real effort to resolve the conflict. The rabble that generally rule in the western democracies are more than happy to let this tragedy continue because it suits our economies.
Unfortunately, “ordinary” people like us on this board don’t get much of a say in our foreign policy. It never features highly in any party’s manifesto. At election time politicians get us worrying about the “jam tomorrow” aspect of our lives, and hope that we will leave them to get on with their dealings with other countrys , with those dealings being based on finance rather than morality.
Personally I would round up most of our (and most other countries) politicians and incarcerate them, with the exception of the Norwegians, who I would like to see run the world.
