(35,961 posts)Most of us have met them. Those parents who are so blinded to any faults of their child that they end up feeding their child's bad behaviour. According to them, their precious child can do no wrong, even though precious takes to bullying other kids at school and stealing things that don't belong to them. All that's fine with the parent, who ignores it and accuses the parents of the bullied kids of hating precious. But when other kids react by trying to belt up precious to try to get their things back, the parent goes into full-on complain mode, whining about how everyone's hating on precious and bullying their child. They take precious home, where precious has a temper tantrum and breaks furniture because the parent dared to ask them to go clean their room, and reward them by raising their pocket money to an astronomical level and teaching them how to use a gun, coz after all it's all about self-defence...
If the US stopped being such a doting parent and stopped unconditionally supporting everything Israel does, then Israel would eventually get the message and hopefully start to change...
