The much practiced and fairly useless Palestinian-Israeli “Peace Talks” are disingenuous at best. But perhaps that is best understood when we realize the same ontological vacuums a/k/a the “compassionate conservative Christians” conducting the talks have long saddled the U.S. especially and most virulently the South with their brand of religiosity and politics. It’s what I call Texas Red.
What possible incentive could the Jews have to work toward the creation of the Palestinian State---you know as it was initially decided by the U.N. some sixty (60) plus years ago?
Israeli Jews already occupy most of what until the U.S. and Britain-backed UN 1947 edict was the Palestinian State.
Since 1967 Israelis have occupied the Golan Heights, Gaza and the West Bank , collect Palestinian’s taxes (and usually hold them indefinitely).
Isralis already have the only regional nuclear capability as well as the most advanced military in the area and use it with impunity--- at will.
So again just in case I’ve missed something, what possible incentive could Israeli Jews have to work toward the creation of the Palestinian State?
In a word; none.
With the creation of a Palestinian State Israeli Jews would have to behave more maturely, responsibly and their actions would finally have consequences.
So do I believe the Obama administration will succeed in creating a Palestinian State? Not a chance.
Of course, as I’ve long stated and advocate to anyone listening that if anyone really wants to create a “Palestinian State” all that is needed is the same U.N. mechanism that created the State of Israel.
Really. Is that just too easy?
Being from Georgia the segregationist practices that Jimmy Carter speaks of in Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, are something with which he is all too familiar. It is the same system that’s given us our apartheid public education system throughout America and especially all across the South including cities such as San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. (See: The U.S. Apartheid public education system)
From Texas Red: a cratered landscape of prisons, deplorable apartheid public education, lack of healthcare and politicians and majority population intent on keeping it that way…

History of Israel
In September 1947, one month after Partition of India, UNSCOP recommended partition in Palestine, a suggestion ratified by the UN General Assembly on November 29, 1947.[54] The result envisaged the creation of two states, one Arab and one Jewish, with the city of Jerusalem to be under the direct administration of the United Nations.

Israel's 'unspoken alliance'
Author of book on Israel's relationship with Apartheid South Africa talks to Al Jazeera.
“Sasha Polakow-Suransky, a senior editor at Foreign Affairs, poured through 7,000 pages of never-before-seen classified South African documents while researching his book, Israel's Secret Relationship with Apartheid South Africa. In it, he relays the minutes and details of conversations between top level officials on both sides that shed light on the extent and nature of Israel's cooperation with and enablement of South Africa's Apartheid regime, both in military and non-military matters.
It was a relationship that benefited both sides: South Africa acquired vital components from Israel to help advance its nuclear programme, while sharing their knowledge and components with Israel as it pursued its own nuclear ambitions.”
