Palin: ‘Jewish Settlements Should Expand,’ Even In Palestinian Areas

[Modbert]

In an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin separated herself from decades of U.S. policy — which has held that Israel’s settlements in the Occupied Territories are illegitimate and an impediment to peace — saying that she thinks “Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expand”:

WALTERS: The Obama administration does not want Israel to build any more settlements on what they consider Palestinian territory. What is your view on this?

PALIN: I disagree with the Obama administration on that. I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand.

WALTERS: Even if it’s [in] Palestinian areas?

PALIN: I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expand.

Not only does Palin disagree with the Obama administration on that, she also disagrees with the Bush administration, whose 2002 “roadmap for peace” called for a settlement freeze. In fact, every U.S. administration since Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza began in 1967 has opposed Israel’s building of settlements, which are held to be illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention

This includes the one and only Ronald Reagan.

As for that convention:

Article 49. The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

Discuss.

dogbert, you need to link up your quotes, please.

LMFAO!!! I really want the Republican ticket for 2012 to be Pailin/Prejan it could be called the TnA tour!

Actually I believe she no longer lives there. Besides, I don't think they want the meth capital of Alaska for land.

Orthadox Jews on METH!!??? That is a scary thought.

Well, what has "decades of U.S. policy" done for anyone here? The Israelis conquered the territory. They control it. They administer it. Why is it the US's role to dictate what they can and cannot do with it? Does Canada tell us what we can and can't do with territory acquired in the Mexican War?
It's their country, let them do what they want.

Would you be okay with the re-establishment of the Caliphate and a reconquista of formerly Muslim lands, or does your "might = right" philosophy not apply to everyone?

How is that remotely relevant to this discussion? Israel occupies those territories and administers them.
As for re-establishing the Caliphate, the Arabs have a hard enough time agreeing with each other on anything much less uniting. And if it weren't for Israel the Muslims would be waging jihad on each other.

The Israelis conquered the territory. They control it. They administer it.

The same would be true if the Arabs conquered, controlled, and administered the territory delineated in the map.

So... would you be okay with the re-establishment of the Caliphate and a reconquista of formerly Muslim lands -- including what is now Israel?

I dont deal in hypotheticals.
And Arabs never controlled all that territory.

Except Israel WON the land in the 1967 war against Jordan. The West Bank was NOT an independent land pre-1967. Jordan is not under occupation from Israel. Jordan ceded the land to Israel after the war.

In fact, the West Bank has NEVER been its own seperate entity. It was given to the Jews as part of Jewish Palestine after Transjordan was created in August of 1922.

The United Nations then, illegally took away Jewish land from the Jews and gave it to the Arabs. The Arabs declared war on the Jews and they lost.

Why didn't Jordan give the West Bank to these so-called Palestinians from 1948-1967? They had 19 years and yet there was no PLO, there was no Yasser Arafat or Palestinian Authority. In fact, the term Palestine had dissappeared completely! Palestine had been re-named back into Israel just as Israel had been re-named into Palestine! Just like Iran and Persia!

The land belongs to the Jews NOT the Arabs.

both are as qualified as Obama for the top job.

I love how David tries to justify this situation. What's wrong Davey? Had to take time away from the upcoming genocide that you foam at the mouth over?

 

[Kalam]

Everybody does. A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice...

And Arabs never controlled all that territory.

No?

The tan color shows the territory controlled by the Prophet (SAWS), the blue territory was added by the Rashidun, and the green territory was taken under the Umayyad Caliphate.

During that time, Palestinia was under control of the Arab government, yes, but Israel had its own autonomy and not only the land but the city of Israel was inspired as a multi-cultural area where all religions would be allowed and tolerated. Sort of a modern day New York City. Arab-Jewish relations during this time was fantastic, in fact many Jews consider this to be the golden age of Judaism. The Arab Muslims freed us from the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine) and fought back the Crusaders as long as they could.

The land may have been GOVERNED by Arab Muslims, but it was CONTROLLED by Jews.

Don't hold your breath. She may support it, but WHY does she support it. She supports it because she is a right-wing looney tune who thinks that if the Jews control Israel, they will demolish the Dome of the Rock Al Asqua Mosque and build the Third Temple and Jesus will return to Earth and all of the Jews will convert to Christianity and there will be eternal Heaven on Earth. The Christians only support Israel because of their whacky belief system. I support Israel because the land has historically belonged to my people, with a few interruptions of being exiled by Romans and Ottomans.

Come on. That argument is old. Obama has been president for almost a year.
