But that is simply not true. The aid has been going on for far more than a decade and Germany has always tried negotiating between the Palestinian democratic movement and Israel. Sadly after the death of the Palestinian leader, sorry for not remembering his name, any hope of keeping Hamas in check was gone. And now there's barely any way to make a state work in Palestine, except for a muslim califate similar to Afghanistan. Why Israel doesn't want this, should be self-explanatory

Why are many nations so psychopathic? Most individual humans are decent people: You might not be best friends with everyone, don't like your neighbour's taste of music, or that green jacket he always wears, or be jealous because he has a nicer carpet in his apartment. But you still don't kill him.

Nations? Good luck! Do we tend to elect psychopaths as leaders? Do only psychopaths want to be politicians?

Psychopaths are the kind of people, that have both the ambition and the ruthlessness to get into influential positions

There's a quote of a guy whose name I forgot, foreign politician for Germany's social centre party. People have morals, foreign diplomacy doesn't and mustn't. It's always about what the country needs, completely unhinged form any morality.

It was Yasir Arafat. It was back in 1993.
