Tantrums of a Spoilt Child

The child is no longer a child, but being spoilt all the way through, he knows his tantrums can get him what he wants.  In my book, Reflections from Palestine:  A Journey of  Hope, I compared the State of Israel, ever since it was established, to the spoilt child of the USA.  As long as it gets what it wants, all is fine, but  the moment the great benefactor  rebuffs the child then there is no end to the tantrums, until his wish is granted.  The scenario has become too familiar, more so during the negotiations for a deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

With its own stockpile of nuclear arms, I am sure  Israel  has no reason to worry about its security in the region.  The only reason the state is obsessed with the issue of security, is that it knows it has been stretching its luck for too long in maintaining the longest occupation in modern history, while continuously robbing Palestinian land.  Yet the tantrums of the spoilt child have been listened to attentively.   We have already heard reports  regarding the compensation that could quell the tantrums.  New  sophisticated weapons, are being considered as well as more financial aid,  as if the 3 billion dollars from the American citizens’ tax money were not enough.  One cannot help but wonder, what compensation and what action would actually be enough to put an end to those tantrums, or is the sky the limit?
