Nothing has changed, nothing will change. Neither Israel nor their U.S. backers have any intention of bringing peace to the area, unless it is on the backs of completely suppressed Palestinians living in an apartheid state of bantustands. No matter who wins Tuesday's election, nothing will change. Any more than after the election of Obama. And remember, Iran is still "on the table." Now that's something of which to be scared.
