How can politicians demand that Iraq maintain a secular and democratic constitution against the will of its majority when the same government and politicians are ranting at the AIPAC meeting that Israel must remain a Jewish State with an undivided Jerusalem?
This hypocrisy is the source of motivation for the modern Jihad and also pays respect to the generations of thinking that got the world in this mess to begin with.
As goes Palestine, so goes the global effort against extremism. Extremism is Muslim and Jewish. Both types must be addressed. The candidates for President of the US all made clear that the favored and unaccountable position of the Israelis will not be changed.
In the modern strategy for the Middle East no other country is afforded the privileges of the Israelis. If this were not so then Iraq would have been divided among ethnic groups in 2003 and we wouldn't have the mess American soldiers have been left with today (we would have a whole different mess, however).
Change one can believe in is not the continued placement of the nation of Israel above international standards. Candidates pander to the AIPAC in stronger language that they ever used toward any internal American cause.
When will America accept International Law and recognize human rights and then in turn demand that its allies do the same.
Progress against extreme Islam will never be made so long as the countries providing the driving force continue in their policy of radicalizing their antagonist.
