<i>USA, Palestine and Israel</i>

The so called 'two state' Palestine and Israel policy is farcical. The state of Israel within the state of Palestine was forcefully and illegally created at the instigation and conspiracy of the USA and the UK in 1947. Today the state of Israel is there but where is the state of Palestine for over six decades? Most of the territories of the state of Palestine have been occupied and millions of Palestinians were killed, wounded and abdicated by the Israelis. The remaining portion of the state of Palestine has been cut into two small pieces West Bank and Gaza without any road link with each other, surrounded and barricaded on all sides by Israel and the Palestinians have been made third class citizens without any human rights. The Palestinians and the Israelis are fighting for decades. There have been many wars, ceasefires, meetings and conferences for solution of Palestine-Israel conflicts and a comprehensive peace in the Middle East, but all in vain. Whether Israel is right or wrong, the USA always supports and protects Israel militarily, diplomatically and economically. We wonder if Israel is an independent and sovereign state or it is one of the states of the USA, a US colony, a US military base or a US agent to look after and protect US interests in the Middle East? Is not the USA using Israel as a scapegoat in the Middle East? Is it nor true that the USA waged the Gulf war in 1991. The USA invaded Afghanistan on December 9, 2001 and occupied Iraq in 2003 and now it is instigating and using Israel to attack Iran. We are greatly concerned with the present world situation. We sincerely believe and feel that in this changed world of modern age if the black and white people can live together in South Africa and other African countries, if millions of people of different races, colours, religions and nationalities can live in the USA, East Germany and West Germany could be reunited, why can't the Palestinians and the Israelis live together.
