The US and Israel have never negotiated peace deals and ceasefires in good faith with the PLO. Worse, the US never honored treaties with the Native Americans. Why would it be any different now? Edward Said exposed everyone's mendacity in his book End of the Peace Process. Nothing has changed, with Palestinian Authority as complicit as PLO after Oslo.

One can't help but lose all faith in the idea of "leadership," governments, legal institutions as elite institutions that do not have the best interest of the common folks in mind. Power and humanity have not and will never coexist. 21st century politics have made this fact perfectly clear.

A community of everyday people has to come to the rescue of each other. Forget our "leaders" will do anything. They're too busy amassing a fortune and making sure their children carry on the oligarchic order.
