Answer 1

Israel meeting with osama for this problem

Answer 2

as the only real representative government in the area, do you not think that Isreal is a better choice than all of its neighbors?

Check the facts ... Egypt has a one party government. Syria is a dictatorship. Jordan is a heriditary monarchy. Iran is a theocractic dictatorship. KSA [Saudi] is a heriditary monarchy. Turkey is a nominal republic dominated by its military. Libya is a dictatorship/one party state. And Iraq used to be a dictatorship. Palestine is a thugocracy.

Meanwhile, in Isreal ... Arabs and Druse routinely vote in elections and are represented in the Knesset. Is that inclusion or what?

***
Sure, some people think that we should 'recognize reality' and realign ourselves with the majority of governments in the area ... the Muslim and Arab governments.

Ignoring for the moment that none of them [excepting the new one in Iraq] is very free ... do you not find their insistence that one specific people [their Hebrew cousins] be disenfranchised and marginalized unacceptible?

Didn't Western Europe reach the conclusion that disenfranchising, marginalizing, and enslaving other peoples is wholely immoral and unacceptible beginning about 200 years ago?

Human slavery on planet earth has nearly been driven out of our societies. Western Europe began the modern version of that movement. [And some societies still have not implemented it.]

Individual freedom, the cause celebre of Western European cultures, is what we're supporting there in the Middle East.

And Israel happens to be almost the only example society allowing significant individual freedom.
