Speaking of Nazis, guess who the Jews fought for in Palestine during WWII? They were in perfect agreement with Hitler. Both were self-righteous racists who believed themselves to be the master race. Hitler got his and you better believe that the Zionists will not be in Palestine for another 60 years. Israel equals thievery, lies and murder. The backlash will be ugly. Enjoy.
Two of the hottest women I know are Israeli-Yemeni sisters who run a wonderful restaurant hereabouts. Hot! Hot! Hot!
One of the most beautiful aspects of Israel is the wide ethnic variety of people here. Same goes for the food. And music (check out the Eidan Reichel Project for Ethiopian-flavored music, Yehuda Poliker for Greek-, David Broza for Latin-, and too many artists to mention for rock). It's one hell of a country, and I'm very glad I moved here.
Do you think any of the little, barking Nazis around here recognize that the Arab nations took in very few of their fellow Arabs
No. And let's not forget that, years after Israel left Gaza, there are STILL Palestinians living in refugee camps there. I defy anybody to explain that, other than to keep a steady supply of suicide bombers.
I am amazed at this patronizing, naive article. After exiting Gaza, how can anyone justify the rocket attacks? Moreover, let's stop this BS about how Israel is creating more haters and suicide bombers. I don't think there is a short supply. This conflict has been going on for decades, centuries ... taking a view on Lebanon or Gaza is short sighted. There was no Israel in 1929 and yet there were massacres of Jews. How is that possible if it is defense that leads to terrorism?
What we need to stop doing is telling Israel what to do.
We must continue to support them. They are a true ally, a democracy, and the kind of nation that at least agonizes over what it has to do.
I believe there will be peace, but it may be a long time coming.
Hey aVulcan, you really don't want to look at this video:

You're not simply wrong, not simply ill informed, not simply lacking in a sense of context, history or perspective, you, like many howling neo nazi dogs around here, simply spew pro terrorist propaganda.
It's a dark and dirty bidness you do. If you are a fan of interplanetary travel, have you heard of the "MARX ON MARS PROGRAMME?"
Xanthro: "if someone is a Jew Hater, I will continue to be disagreeable."
Not agreeing with Israeli policy does not demonstrate that one is a Jew hater.
Xanthro: "Israel no longer insists that all the West Bank and Gaza be part of Israel"
Israel, as a country, has never "insisted" on that, even though that was clearly been the goal of much of the Israeli-right and Israeli-right leaders (including Israel founding-era terrorist Menachem Begin - who was Israel's PM during the '82 Lebanon War).
Xanthro: "A two state solution is now a workable solution. Both sides now agree with the goal, it's the details that require work. Previously, even the goal itself wasn't agreed upon. That is a huge change."
That two state solution was agreed upon during Rabin's tenure as PM -- a tenure was cut short because an Israeli religious radical assassinated Rabin over said agreement because he thought it was his religious duty to do so.
And in that aftermath of Rabin's assassination the Israeli-right came back into power, now with Benjamin Netanyahu as PM. And although they paid lip service to said agreement Netanyahu and Co. proceeded to undermine it - in part by accelerating settlement expansion in the West Bank.
Xanthro: "If the PLO ran the West Bank and Gaza as competently as Hamas has run Gaza over the last year, Palestine would already be a State."
Possibly, though Israel's continued settlement expansion would have undermined said peace process. That said there's plenty enough blame to go around on both sides for the continuing conflict, to be sure.
Xanthro: "If like in 1982, Hamas understands that they can't military defeat Israel, and that a two-state solution is the only possible outcome, then Israel gains, because it has another entity to peace talks."
While I hope that's what happens here I'm far from optimistic on that. And if Hamas is instead rendered to weak to govern then it may be that the al Qaeda-types will gain control of Gaza - a decisive victory for the anti-peace elements in both Israel and Palestine.
Speaking of lost heads.
It sounds like you've seriously lost yours.
That seems to be catching in Israel these days.
I have family in Gaza. They are civilians who have never been involved with (or liked) Hamas. They have been terrorized by your army of murderers. My brothers' 4-year old son is so terrified that he is constantly crying in his sleep. I know all about the context and history of this latest massacre of civilians and about the nature of your apartheid state you stupid propagandist.
JonathanInTelAviv: "it [continued settlement expansion] adds pressure to the Palestinians to end the conflict before it's too late."
Ironically, what may be "too late" with continued settlement expansion in the West Bank is Israel's existence as a Jewish state.
Or do you really think that Israel can continue to occupy the West Bank without giving the Arabs living there the right to vote in Israeli elections indefinitely?
JonathanInTelAviv: "We could get by without it [U.S. aid]."
So you don't think Israel would stop settlement expansion even if the U.S. were to make our aid conditional upon it?
JonathanInTelAviv: "This might sound canned, but it's true: You can't see the US as anything less than committed to a safe, secure Israel at peace with our neighbors."
I can't see that, no. That doesn't answer my question, however - I'll ask it again:
Do you agree that if the United States were to condition their aid to Israel on stopping settlement expansion that it would be perceived that the U.S. was getting serious with respect to the Israeli/Palestinian peace process?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
