Israel election and the Peace Process illusion

Netanyahu wins the Israeli election with a promise of ending the promised two-state solution.

In the high farce, the smoke and mirrors that is international politics, this is supposed to be a disaster, and there is general relief when 'Bibi' retracts a little after the election. 

But for those with a brain and some small education it is obvious that all these small changes these little tacks of course and direction are irrelevant in the ongoing plan to complete the Jewish settlement of historical Palestine alongside the 'removal' of the indigenous Arabs.

I think the situation is best described by Dimi Reider, an Israeli journalist and researcher at the European Council on Foreign Affairs in his comments on aljazeera (full article here), with my emphasis:

"He [Netanyahu] won’t outright announce a one-state solution and annexation because the illusion of the possibility of a two-state solution is what has allowed Israel to implement his de-facto one-state solution,"

How apt. The big question is this. How is the EU and the US involved in this illusion?  If they have been duped (over two decades) then they are incredibly stupid. The alternative, which is worse, is that they have not been duped, but have been taking part in the illusion.  Worse, morally and politically,  but still more likely to be the case.

Meanwhile the EU denounces Russia for annexing Crimea (which is full of Russians) and exacts savage sanctions on Iran for a nuclear weapon that might be built some time in the future.

Kafka and George Orwell could not make this up.
