    I would have been happier to see a nation of palestine, but seeing as that didn't happen i will back israel to the hilt against those groups that wish to destroy a nation state.

    I will hold you to that, and i am fairly certain you will be seen to be dead wrong. come the 30th Dec 2009 israel will not only exist but be seen to be a fundamentally 'healthy' sovereign nation.

    Apologies, I must have written poorly.

    By existing on its own, I mean without the massive aid from America, the frequent vetos in the UN etc etc. I do not imagine that this is going to fundamentally change any time soon merely as the President has changed.
