In short where Israel was once pictured as small, beleagured and in constant threat from its Arab neighbours, it is now seen as an an intransigent, arrogant, bully which is perfectly happy to keep the Palestinians under a continual state of terror in the name of preserving its own security whilst land-grabbing shamelessly in the West Bank. The Israeli idea of diplomacy seems to be to negotiate in a state of denial, making Israel not part of the solution but part of the problem. Frankly even if we understood your government’s paranoia it is nosomething we would want to share. Europe especially is only slowly realising that the real problems come from a resurgence of fundamentalism which frankly the continuing middle east problem has encouraged and now the two feed off each other.
