Israel\\\'s Arrogance......China\\\'s \\\"Tit-for-Tat.....Greece\\\'s Dilemna

     The Israeli government has shown its lack of respect for the Obama administration, by insulting Vice- President Biden on his trip to Israel and Palestine/ West Bank, by ungraciously announcing new building ON OCCUPIED TERRITORY. The decision was made by the Shas (closely connected to the "settlers") controlled Interior ministry, supposedly without the knowledge of Prime Minister Netanyahu. This is hard to believe as Netanyahu is on record as strongly supporting the building of additional settlements on Palestinian territory and because he wants to maintain his right-leaning government and as such has allied himself with the "settlers" and the religious parties who see the West Bank as part of Eretz Israel.
      Netanyahu is concerned about Obama's reaching out to the Arab/ Muslim world and also because he opposes any early establishment of a Palestinian state. This disrespect is typical of certain elements of the Israeli government, including Netanyahu and his "settlers" pals since Obama took office. Israel has always acted as if it is the senior partner in its relationship with the USA. This is because of its strong support in Congress, its powerful lobby...AIPAC, and the right-wing, fundamentalist, evangelicals. . This time, it has gone too far. Publicly and blatantly embarrassing the Vice-president and thus the Obama administration.    
     China has made it clear that it is willing to go tit-for-tat, with the USA. "It's feeling its oats". Owning a large part of America's debt, enjoying an increasing and steady growth,  reaping great returns on its bloated exports, angry at the meeting with the Dalai Lama and holding its "rubber stamp" Congress at this time, it has decided to "expose" America's hypocrisy, when it talks of China's human rights violation......" while advocating freedom of speech', 'freedom of press' and 'internet freedom', the US GOVERNMENT UNSCRUPULOUSLY MONITORS AND RESTRICTS THE CITIZEN'S RIGHTS TO FREEDOM WHEN IT COMES TO ITS OWN INTERESTS AND NEEDS" by using wiretaps, eavesdropping and hacking in the name of the War on Terror. It also slammed the US ON ITS ECONOMIC RECORD, JOBLESSNESS AND HOMELESSNESS........CAN'T GET NO RESPECT". Even Ahmadinejad is tweaking America's nose, going to Kabul and with Karzai at his side, lecturing America on its presence in Afghanistan .
     Greece is in turmoil because of the austerity measures adopted by the government. As noted in PIIGS, .....Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain are next in line. The Euro-zone is in trouble. The only safe haven is Germany.
     France has finally apoligized to Rwanda for its "involvement" in the genocide, where the Mitterand government sided with the Hutus and also spirited many of the ring-leaders out of the country.
