The United States is to provide Israel with its most extensive security aid package in history.It is argued that this will help to bring about a settlement of the Arab/Israeli conflict. The reality is, of course, a little different. This aid package will be seen in Israel as endorsement of Israeli actions in the occupiUS military aid to Israeled territories, and approval of the Israeli governments continuing policies of ethnic cleansing and aggression towards the Palestinians. The US should be applying an embargo on all exports of goods, services and technology to Israel, not pouring more oil onto the fire. However, we all know that the pro Israel lobby in the United States and the role of Israel in the Middle East ensures that the Americans will only pay lip service to the concept of resolving the crisis.
