Where does Israel want to go?

Yesterday's meeting between Obama and Netanyahu showed some irreconcilable differences. Obama's body language spoke volumes as the two debriefed the press and it became clear to me that our President was not enjoying his guest and his positions. Like me, but for different reasons, Netanyahu doesn't want a two-state solution, and his long-term strategy probably consists into ethnic-cleansing all of Palestine of its Arab inhabitants. My view is that these two communities have no choice but live together and treat each other justly and humanly. In today's world, there is no good reason left for not doing it. By pushing his extremist agenda too far, the new Israeli Prime Minister will bring the issue of Israel's nukes on the table for the whole world to see, defeating any attempts to slow Iran's progress in developing its own. As it will continue to expend its colonies, the Zionist State may isolate itself further and become an undisputed international pariah. Why do we keep on giving $2.5 billion a year to an outlaw nation?
