strange partners

there's something a little bit crazy about the netanyahu government negotiating with the united states over whether it can continue to build settlements on the west bank. i guess they want to look like they're negotiating, but refuse to do it with the representatives of the people who actually live there. so instead, they start haggling with another country on another continent half a world away.

and even then, i'm not sure that they're actually negotiating.
