    How can anyone expect Israel to make peace with countries that are completely unstable. Make peace with Abbas that hundreds of thousands are marching against him. Make peace with Egypt or Lebenon or Seria or any of the middle East countries that are here today and gone tomorrow.
    None of these countries are democracies. Each one of them repress their people, and will one day revolt as we see now. The only ones that win are the military and dictatorships like in Iran. They thought the Shah was bad, so they got the Ayatollahs.
    It is the ultimate Chutzpa from the western countries to force Israel to sit with these countries.
    The leftists in Israeli politics don’t help the situation either.
