Proof that the Likud has no intention of doing anything to end the conflict. The Likud policies have done everything to greatly aggravate the conflict since the times of Menachem Begin. They campaign in Israel based on the conflict. Their allies in the AIPAC and lobbies like Bill Kristol’s raise tons of money and bully US legislators by exploiting the conflict.
