Israel and its main backer, the USA, should be made to foot the entire bill. What’s more the UN security council, with US Ambassador Bolton reclusing himself, should impose sanctions on both countries. It’s time that the superpower and its attack dog were brought to heel.

Somebody needs to take the United States and Israel by the scruffs of their necks, sit them down in a windowless room and give them a crash course in PR. Both should have had representatives at that conference in Sweden. In protecting their political lives at home, their leaders and the people they represent will ultimately lose their lives at the hands of a world that simply wants them to go away.
