Lets try a little thought experiment. Let's say you're a part of (arguably) the most persecuted people in the western hemisphere. In the last 100 years 3 separate and totally unrelated groups have done all they could to destroy you, your family, your culture, and every sign in history that you ever existed. You sit on the most disputed piece of land on the planet, surrounded on all sides by people who are publicly dedicated to your destruction and that vastly outnumber you.
Of 1 Billion Muslims worldwide, 1%, a full 10 million people, have sworn before their god that they would give up their lives to see you killed. At that rate, just those who would die to see you eliminated outnumber you 1.6 to 1. The only thing that prevents them from successfully doing so, is that you have a single powerful friend who won't let them. You are in a desperate, existential battle for your life, your family, your faith, and the future of your culture.
Into that mix, lets insert the most corrupt third party organization in the world. A group filled almost exclusively with tin-pot dictators, tyrants, thieves, military strongmen, and the kind of cowardly western bureaucrats that think appeasement of evil is a moral imperative. A group that proudly puts terrorists and torturers in charge of 'human rights' issues, and is insistent that innocent civilians not be allowed to defend themselves against their corrupt and tyrannical rulers.
What would you say to allowing a third party like that be the final arbitrator of your case? We'll let them decide how your existential conflict will be settled, and empower them to make the decisions in it. That should be fair right?!
Tom Friedman, is an imbecile.
Thankfully, Bibi Netenyahu is not.
