Amy Goodman asks Daniel Levy, former Israeli peace negociator, why Israel has been rejecting a peaceful solution for so long. He blames fundies, "security hawks", but above all, the US:
But there's a third reason, which is that Israel, rather than turning to its friend America and that friend saying, "Hey, guys, this is in your interest, it's in our interest, let's do this," America is normally saying, "If you want to carry on your crazy self-destructive policy of occupation, don't expect us to change it for you. In fact, we'll continue to back you." It's like a drunkard turning to his friend and the friend giving him another bottle of vodka and then giving him the car keys.
