In a video posted to the Mother Jones Web site on Tuesday morning, Mitt Romney admits to regarding Israel Palestine as merely a ball being kicked down the field and he looks "at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues and I say, 'There’s just no way.' You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem…The idea of pushing on the Israelis to give something up to get the Palestinians to act is the worst idea in the world."

The worst idea in the world is to ignore reality on the ground and "Sometimes it takes a good friend to tell you when enough is enough. As they did with South Africa two decades ago, concerned citizens across the US can make a difference by encouraging Washington to get the message to Israel that this cannot continue. If Americans truly are our friends, they should shake us up and take away the keys, because right now we are driving drunk, and without this wake-up call, we will soon find ourselves in the ditch of an undemocratic, doomed state."-Jonathan Ben Artzi, a nephew of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who spent eighteen months in jail for being a conscientious objector against the Israeli Occupation of Palestine.

Another bad idea is to ignore U.S. national security officials who consider Israel to be a genuine counterintelligence threat.

"The CIA considers Israel its No. 1 counterintelligence threat in the agency's Near East Division, the group that oversees spying across the Middle East, according to current and former officials. Counterintelligence is the art of protecting national secrets from spies. This means the CIA believes that U.S. national secrets are safer from other Middle Eastern governments than from Israel.

"Israel employs highly sophisticated, professional spy services that rival American agencies in technical capability and recruiting human sources. Unlike Iran or Syria, for example, Israel as a steadfast U.S. ally enjoys access to the highest levels of the U.S. government in military and intelligence circles." [1]

Another bad idea is to ignore the warning of George Washington, whose Farewell Address has been read aloud in Congress on his birthday ever since 1896:

"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all...and passionate attachments for others should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave...a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate justification." 

Another bad idea would be to not pursue this conversation and fail to understand that what is in Israel's best interests are NOT necessarily in the best interests of We The People of this homeland but in the best interests of Masters of War:
