  1. I think we have to be very careful in assessing Israeli citizens moral values. Prime Minister Netanyahu was shoe-horned into a 6th term of power in my opinion, because no one else has got the nerve nor the ability nor the savoir faire to use the rod of iron one needs to rule in a region where human life is equal to how Russian military commanders view their own troops and we all know that is not much at all. I believe Israelis are on the same wave-length as way back in Nixon's time, but what I think has happened, Ian, is that when you have seen rockets raining down on your part of the country or someone you know has been knifed at a bus stop, or blown up in a bus, it's terrible to say, but it hardens people. The 7 October attack has rocked the moral compass of most of the world and as we sit and watch the bombardment of Giza and hear that 150 people use one toilet in 24 hours, there is a time when you don't know what to think. I firmly believe that the best diplomatic tools that can be applied to Prime Minister Netanyahu is to stand behind him on the international stage the same way President Biden would like to hear from Netanyahu if China invades Taiwan and Biden is left between a rock and a hard place with suddenly no friends in sight. It's a hard call, but a peaceful solution will be the outcome for the Palestinians and a homeland secured for them, that is my belief. The Greater Arab Community can make this intolerable situation of homeless Palestinians into an oasis with their own country and we just have to find the color of roses they need to see to change their views on what is happening on their doorstep.
