Because the Israeli government would rather expand their “homeland” than live in peace and safety.
I wish someone could get them to either pull back from disrespecting their neighbors and work with them to improve things or shut the fuck up about the danger they are constantly provoking. Watching them do both is nauseating.

why we held the same out of touch, out-dated, projecting a blanket interpretation of common values onto a culture with its own, embarrassingly white guy bureaucrat moron assumptions for so long is beyond me.
out intelligence community and our foreign policy analysts must not be very well rewarded for saying something new and outside the approved language – even behind closed doors. Foreign affairs is no place for yesmen. Or at least there HAS to be a point where good information and honest assessments based on relevant facts must occur. Our inability to recognize the circumstances of our global neighbors or properly surmise the tenor of international relations is worrisome.

“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear
Full many a flow’r is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
…Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth
A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown.
Fair Science frown’d not on his humble birth,
And Melancholy mark’d him for her own.”

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray

Raul Castro, 96-year-old former US ambassador and Arizona governor, detained at Border Patrol checkpoint – U.S. News
Heh.
Nothing against the guy but I do like concrete examples of the border patrol being unreasonable and inhumane.
