Israel with the full backing of the US continues to violate international law. Instead of condemning the building of settlements the US continues to turn a blind eye to the continual building of settlements upon occupied land. The UN can make Libya a no fly zone and take action against Gaddaffi. Why? Because the US backs it. Nothing can be done against Israel which continues to violate the rights of Palestinians. Why? Because the US backs it.

It is for these types of double standards and levels of shameless and crooked behaviour that I rail against both America and Israel. There is no need to build these settlements. There is no need to deny Palestinians access to their own resources. Well, of course there is a desire to do these things if you are an imperial power and you don't care who you hurt just as long as you can steal more land. Hitler believed he was in the right in this regard, but no moral person looks at the behaviour as justified.

I am all for international sanctions against Israel, but unless the US changes it's immoral tune then nothing will come of it. The US, which is broke gives $3 billion to the Israeli's no questions asked. It supports illegal settlement building. It has basically armed Israel. In that regard we should also be forcing sanctions against America. It is a country that invades nations without good reason and supports terrorist states. So, whilst I am all for the sanctioning of Israel, that would also mean that we need to look at the bigger picture and who is supporting Israel.
