Simple enough
[Read the article: Who needs Dana Perino when you have the NYT's Michael Gordon?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't understand why it's necessarily true that "the 2-state approach does not fully deliver on those points." Nor do I see why right of return is more likely to result in a just peace than in civil war.
The 2-state approach leaves the Palestinians in camps. Not decent surroundings. Not just.
Letting people live where they want, in peace---like in their ancestral homes, where they belong---is just, and therefore supports peace.
Compensating people for what was stolen from them is just.

Why don't liberals fight for asshat rights?
[Read the article: Who needs Dana Perino when you have the NYT's Michael Gordon?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Refugees? really. I am a refugee. Interesting. Well why don't the liberals love me, I'm a victim. Why don't the liberals fight to re establish my rights in Poland? Why don't the liberals fight to reestablish Jewish rights in Arab countries?
Why is that? Do you have a feeling about that or just a URL?
Because, as far as I know, there is no UN displaced persons category for "idiots."

My last comment on the topic
[Read the article: Who needs Dana Perino when you have the NYT's Michael Gordon?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]since I don't pretend to know all that much about it.
Why in camps? Is development impossible in the West Bank? What about all those settlements the Israelis have built? Are they uninhabitable for some reason?
Have you read anything about economic, political, employment, and physical conditions in the territories?
As for the settlements---aren't they occupied?
And would an independent Palestinian state be incapable of production and of trade with its neighbors to good profit? I don't get why a two-state solution necessarily implies continuing to live like exiles.
Right---you don't.
Furthermore, I've never said compensation is out of the question. What that would be (and questions like whether that doesn't also involve compensation for Jews driven from Arab lands) would obviously be a matter for negotiation.
I didn't say you did.

Poor stupid scooter
[Read the article: Who needs Dana Perino when you have the NYT's Michael Gordon?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Oh yeah? Then find the nearest native American and hand them your house keys.
Native Americans had house keys? I had no idea.

Typo
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sure Salon's favorite boogeyman is the sole reason for all of this. Throw Joe down the well, then I'm sure it will all be AOK.
The song goes "Throw the JEW down the well." Which is what you meant, right?
You're welcome, electro.

Beat you to it, electro
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So you can shut up now.

Try to be more subtle
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's fairly obvious that where scooter is a regular GOP consultant/employee, trolls such as Electro and ProWar work for AIPAC. They only show up to attempt to twist a discussion into innocent Jews vs Jew-haters, yet they read every comment.
The level of frothing at the mouth involved in their comments is easily visualized.
ProWar:
the professional chip-on-their-shoulder whiner class of which Glenn is so contemptibly epitomises.
There's a word for this---the "opposition."

Little electro
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Prove it. Show me my secret Jewspiracy pay stub and decoder ring. Prove it.
Prove it.
Don't be silly. How can I do that when you're just a figment of my imagination?

Incidentally
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]if anyone happens to be looking for an example of an utter lack of self-awareness or even irony:
Perhaps he should be forced to wear the star. I'm sure you'd enjoy that.
"It's fairly obvious that where scooter is a regular GOP consultant/employee, trolls such as Electro and ProWar work for AIPAC."
I'm sure that's what it tells you in your updated and amended version of the Protocols.
"They only show up to attempt to twist a discussion into innocent Jews vs Jew-haters, yet they read every comment."
If the shoe fits... and let's face it, it fits quite a few of you guys.
It's almost like giving lab rats an electric shock just after you've told them you're going to shock them. They are always surprised.

@electro
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What? Because you have no concept of appropriate standards of proof?
You must have had a rough time in elementary school.

See the novel "A Mote in God's Eye"
[Read the article: Peak oil explains lack of UFOs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]for one vision of how that might play out. Although the Moties' civilization rose and fell many times, that scenario would have to assume sufficient resources for each period of success and building. Niven and Pournelle, being rightwingers, never bothered to consider that limitation.
"Peak oil" would indeed short-circuit such a cycle.

Sheesh
[Read the article: Peak oil explains lack of UFOs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Anyway, this leftist ego trip stuff, this personal prefernce to consider oneself the APEX of intelligence in the universe, just pisses me off.
Lefties are responsible for that, too? Man, they've got a lot to answer for.
Somebody tell the Pope!

Well done, Zod
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but the quivering slimy beast still lives and squeaks.
Use your proton blaster, man!

As far as France and New Orleans
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just think. If Jefferson hadn't reversed himself and borrowed all that money for the Louisiana Purchase, New Orleans being washed away would be France's problem today.
That theory would require the assumption that France would be as stupid as the Army Corps and Louisiana were when they proceeded to do everything they could to make Katrina a virtual certainty.

Glenn Greenwald on Electro Robot.
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No way will I ever forget that one.

scooter opines
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Either way this just whining over about the electoral process. Like it or not, the people of Connecticut made the decision to retain Lieberman and you have no say in the matter. Grow up.
Usually he reads the post before he puts in his hard day's work. Not this time.
Anyone want to explain to scoot how Senate committee posts work, and how they aren't elected positions?
-
Sure, but ...
[Read the article: The right's selective political manipulation of Catholicism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"deaths via abortion"- doesn't account for all the illegal abortions that would take place regardless of Roe v. Wade decision- and the subsequent deaths of the mothers from taking unsafe abortions. Plus that was over 30 years ago, compared to 5 years in Iraq.
that's using "logic."
Did Jesus ever use the word "logic" anywhere in the New Testament? Uh-uh.
So Catholics can safely ignore its conclusions.
