An Israeli cabinet minister has threatened Iran,saying that Israel will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

When I was a youngster a lot of my friends spent months on the Kibbutz, It was something you did, along with other kids from Europe .We believed in israel. That it was a fledgling  democracy, a young country trying to build a life for its people.We wanted to help, I can still remember how jealous I was of my friends because I could not go.

I do not know of any of these friends,,those I am in still in contact with,who still has good feelings about Israel.They feel that the Ideals that took them there have been betrayed by the fanatics and extremists who hold the balance of power in the Israeli government,and have done for many years who dream only of a greater Israel.They have no wish for raprochement with their Arab neighbours or to see the establishment of a viable Palestinian state.They will continue to build the settlements on Palestinian land,attack and threaten their neighbours until one thing happens.An American President has the balls to say to them as Clinton did to the UK government over Northern Ireland get real,come to the table,you will do this this and this,and if you dont we will no longer support you.The Arabs will recognise Israels right to exist, that has already been established, but not an Irael that has its borders on the Jordan, the aim of the Zionists.
