that thrashes all goodwill, security guarantees and friendship and only takes threats real and perceived seriously

Yeah, that country is going to continue to exist. Unlike yours.

" ... management of companies want workers to be stock holders, participants in companies' profits." Like Enron, right?

In what kind of world does the writer live? (One surrounded by enemies who have tried to destroy and continue to deny the very existence of "the Jewish State of Israel!) Consider the following: 1nothing is permanent...states are created and dissolved, as are marriages, human bodies and taxes (Exactly. So on what ground do the Arabs who have always been the aggressors in this conflict have to force in any way a "solution to an Arab problem in Judea and Samaria. None. The Arabs have their 23 nations already. Leave Israel alone!) 2. If American guarantees do not meet the writers standards then will Israel alone be able to withstand even current pressures in and out of the UN (Yes. And you wil sip a Latte on Winslow way with your other anti-Semite friends talking about the evil Israel and the "peaceful" Pali's without one true bit of knowledge of the 6 thousand year old history of the Jewish People and the land of Israel) . 3. international law, with its flaws, nevertheless prevent many disasters from happening...thus a piece of paper has validity within limits. 4.who betrayed the Ukraine? The US? Russia? Why even use this word.? (This word was used precisely. Both the Russians and the U.S. along with the EU have ALL betrayed Ukraine! If I borrow 20 bucks to buy food at T&C from you and tell you to take a hike after signing an IOU. I have betrayed your trust.) 5. Nations have national interests. these often clash with those of others. Solutions can be negotiated. The list of realities in this world go on and on...polemics and ignorance solve nothing and can even be dangerous (You are the one using polemics. You are ignorant as Israel has wanted a just peace and accepted one on no less than 3 documented occasions. Israel has made peace with Egypt, after returning the entire Sanai. Israel has made peace with Jordan. Israel accepted the UN pace plan in 1948, the Arabs attacked! Israel withdrew unilaterally from Gaza and got Rockets and death from Hamas. I am embarrassed to live in the same city as you. Typical brainwashed elitist BI attitude. Sitting here thousands of miles away without a clue using ridiculous semantics to attack the UN created and just Jewish State of Israel. Want to help humankind? Go to Syria with it's 100k dead and bury some childrens bodies killed by Sunni's or Shia. Or just sit at Bainbridge Bakers and sip that Latte and spout your ignorance.)
