I don't think the US or Germany should send one dime to Israel ever again. If they cannot broker peace than we should let them go it alone. The Palestinean leaders have so often turned a blind eye to the militants that their is little hope for any real peace in my opinion. This is a prime example of why religion is harmful around the world.
At least if Obama continues to fail and show weaknness to Iran, Israel might in dramatic fashion take care of the situation.

Some good points there but there are also, IMO, two basic misunderstandings of the situation. One, Israel cannot take care of Iran. Almost all experts believe that even the U.S. could not take out the Iranian nuke program since they are so far under ground and also since one of the sites is right next to yet another
one of those ridiculous sites of religious significance. Two, Why should the Palestinians "control" their militants even if they could, which they cannot? Zionists started this mess and they continue it, and they will continue it no matter what agreements are brokered. The only thing they care about is a bigger and stronger Israel, period. The Palestinians are weak so they have, are, and will continue loosing thier land and homes to the invaders. Fighting back with ineffective small bombs, etc. is the only recourse. Look what happened when the American indians negotiated with the U.S. The same thing will happen to the Palestinians, only worse. It seems no matter how advanced humans become the strong still take from the weak. We can sugar coat it all we want, with all our technology and art and democracy, etc. but we are still barbarians
, and that's double true in the Holy Land .
