This post proves your utter worthlessness. The United States does not force Israel to do anything. "(F)ullstatehood" is completely undefined. AQ has their own agenda. Your fantasy about "balls" and what's "public" is perfectly juvenile. You can't know this, but you are a joke.
do you think you'll be able to make sensible posts without the addition of a prepubescent tourette's sufferer's repertoire of insults, when you finally grow up, you pathetic little boy?
for the more intelligent rest of you:
1.The USA is the world's most powerful country - EASILY.
2. 20% of Israeli GDP comes from US aid - directly.
3. ANY economy, anywhere in the world, large or small, agrarian or industrial, which took a 20% year-on-year hit would immediately collapse into prolonged and severe recession.
4. Israel knows this.
5. so does the USA
6. the whole reason why this threat has NOT been used by any US Prez, is because the Jewish lobby in the US is one of the most powerful there is, as directed by AIPAC and the UJA. It is CERTAINLY much, much more powerful than any arab one.
7. This is because american jewry are, and always have been, politically driven and very well organised.
8. they - in general, and taken as a whole - have also become affluent over time.
9. They used to be - in general - organised around a variety of liberal-left causes. Now their main issue is Israel.
10. Any politician who take a hardline pro-palestine stance would prolly see votes melting away, dependent on where he was standing.
11. No US Prez has ever gone down that route.
Now, is all of this mexplained in simplistic enough terms for your tiny brain, yammie?
and 'Full statehood' is perfectly obvious in meaning to anyone with a brain greater than that of the average goldfish - so I'll spell it out for you;
It means internationally recognised terrain, borders, status at UN, constitutional arrangements, recognition by the international community etc.
Y'know, like England, France, ireland etc.
Now is THAT simple enough for you, my moronic little amigo?
and 'public' - as you seem to be having difficulties with that word - means SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE AND BE AWARE OF!!
Finally - as is also pitifully obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature; Until this latest war, the single biggest thing that impelled disaffected young arabs - whom I know a lot about and you know zero - into al-Q's arms, was resentment over Israel, a resentment shared by virtually all arabs and muslims.
No yammie - you are the pig-ignorant joke.
and I can GUARANTEE a heavy majority of all U75 posters would agree with me.
