Were we supposed to be impressed by the UAE and Israel agreement which was hailed by the White House as an 'historical peace agreement' yesterday?
Part of the deal is that Israel will suspend plans to annex large swathes of the Palestinian land in the West Bank which will still remain occupied and Palestinians are still denied basic rights.
That's like a bully expecting praise for not punching you in the neck while they are stealing your lunch, and Israel has been the bully in the area for the past 70 years.
Palestinian's history seems to be one of other people deciding their fate, from the British handing over half their land to the World standing idly by as the neighbour steals their land and terrorises the population and is now being rewarded with regional acceptance.
All the time Israel continues to militarily occupy Palestine, illegally seize and builds settlements on Palestinian land, defy countless UN Resolutions, kill innocent Palestinians, hold thousands of Palestinians in its prisons, destroys farms and bulldoze homes and businesses then nobody should be cozying up to Israel.
America under Trump is a joke but the rest of the international community should be taking decisive action towards Israel respecting human rights in Palestine who, if they want to be on friendlier terms with their neighbours, should take a woefully long-overdue steps towards peace with their neighbour, maybe then they won't be viewed as the murderous and truly awful nation Israel is in their treatment of the Palestinians.
Agreeing to not treat their neighbours quite so abhorrently to earn praise and agreements is just wrong in every way.
