Israel,despite its much touted economic strength,unity,kinship ,Mossad and military strength does not seem to have crossed the adolescent stage when the adolescents ask of their father to do their job.
If what they do is applauded, it is their effort;otherwise it is their parents responsibility.
At some stage one has to grow up and take care of himself if not taking care of parents.
Amusing that Israel is so emotionally dependent on US.
But what really differentiates the United States of America and Israel is age. If you have a friend with an elderly parent, there is always the awkward stage where you ask how that parent is doing, and you are told, ‘Well…’ and then there is long pause, ‘he’s getting older.’ The implication is that he is slowing down, not remembering things the way he used to, he sometimes gets confused. It’s a sad state.
That’s sort of the way I feel about the US. Don’t get me wrong, I love America, as much as the next Yankee, but lately I feel that the US has started showing its age.
When President Barack Obama gave his speech on the Middle East, in advance of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu‘s visit in May, he talked about the 1967 borders. Netanyahu retorted that Israel, “cannot return to indefensible 1967 lines”.
Of course much ado was made about Obama’s speech and Netanyahu’s subsequent applause laden address to Congress. Many, myself included, were critical of Obama’s remarks.
