While it does seem that in the eyes of most American politicians Israel can literally do no wrong, in the eyes of much of the world this is not the case, as Israel is increasingly being viewed as the oppressor, and the Palestinians as their victims, in their continuing and endless military occupation of the West Bank. The situation is reaching a head, with yet another attempt at a two-state resolution being made, and most the world strongly backing an equitable settlement being negotiated and a viable, sovereign state of Palestine being established on the West Bank, free of Israeli control. The main obstacles reside with the Israeli settlements, as the settlers living in the Jordan Valley of the West Bank and their right-wing backers in Israel are opposing any resolution. With the settlers becoming lawless in their protests, vandalizing Palestinian villages and property with near impunity as an expression of their opposition, it is time for Israeli occupying forces to control the settlers, not just restrict Palestinian rights. Israel has seriously overplayed its hand in regard to Palestine, but its leaders and their US backers have apparently not yet gotten the message.
