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”:
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.
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.

I suppose you are not aware that the entire body of international law disagrees with you on that one ... There is the legal Israeli state, and then there are the illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian territories of West Bank and Gaza - few of which have been dismantled by Sharon himself. Making the US/Mexican war comparison makes about as much sense as giving Sudetenland back to Germans (or any other pieces of land it lost after WWII).

What about those illegal French settlements in Alsace Lorraine? Or illegal Polish settlements in Silesia?
She took the other extreme from you (meaning you wish the Jews would get pushed into the sea)!Gawd what a stupid bitch.
Yep. That about sums it up.
I propose an expansion of Jewish settlements into Wasilla, Alaska.

LMFAO!!! I really want the Republican ticket for 2012 to be Pailin/Prejan it could be called the TnA tour!
What if I just agreed and said, yep it was the Palestinians land, who was the last leader of Palestine? Was the person elected, what was the form of government? Where was the capital of these Arab Palestinian people. Did they have a written document such a constitution.
Get your story straight. There is not 1! NOT 1, Israeli settlement in Gaza. There is NOT even 1 JEW in the Gaza! There is not even 1 check point in Gaza! There are not IDF soldiers in Gaza!There are the illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian territories of... Gaza - few of which have been dismantled by Sharon himself.

I asked this question a long time ago.. Still have yet to hear an answer. The only time a country with the name of Palestine ever had any kind of administrative government was when the Jewish National Home, Palestine was under British control.
I would have no problem returning to those borders.

I have literally shown you maps from the 1800s naming that land Palestine. I know I know.. savage injuns didn't count as long as they didn't wear shoes, use an alphabet and abide by cultural standards of Europe.

So cross reference that map and tell me who the Prime Minister/President/Chancellor/King/Queen/Emperor of Palestine was during the 1800s.
Thanks in advance.
who says that their culture was reflective of your standard regarding governing power structure?
History says. Because those maps you showed me in the 1800s had absolutely nothing to do with my question nor did they prove a native Arab Islamic minority or majority in Israel at the time, nor did any of the maps give a border with a capitol.
For instance, here is an Atlas of Europe from the year 1900. Do you see borders?
do you similarly invalidate jews in israel during the stone age because Rome had jurisdiction?
What's this? Did you just admit Israel existed during the stone age?
Unfortunately, you're incorrect. Israel did not exist during the stone age, if the common conception that the stone age ended 10,000 years ago.
Israel's history begins around the beginning of the Brozne Age, around 3,300 BC. Of course, you would know this if you actually studied a bit and did research. Like the kind of research that would show you which Emperor re-named Israel into Palestine...
Better yet, you clearly did not comprehend my reference to invalidation due to lack of alphabet and shoes.
Actually, all civilizations have had their own written language starting with the first civilization, the Sumerians. In fact, they even had their own "Bible" the Enûma Eli. I have no idea if they had shoes or not.
But, you know what's interesting, Shogun? The primary language spoken in the territory of "Palestine" from the year the Roman Emperor re-named it all the way through today? Hebrew. Howbaout that? Through Ottoman, Malmuk, Crusader, Arab-Islamic, Roman... it doesn't matter who. The Jews who lived there spoke the same language as Jesus spoke, the same language Moses spoke and the same language Abraham spoke.
How is that possible if the people who lived there were Arab-Islamic? Arabs do not speak any other language primarily other than Arabic, which pre-dates the English language by several centuries.
And before anyone bashes me, yes I know Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic, but he also spoke Hebrew. How else could he have taught the Torah to other fellow Jews?

What about those illegal French settlements in Alsace Lorraine? Or illegal Polish settlements in Silesia?
Those are supposed to be arguments? Some minor regional disagreements being compared to the Israeli-Palestinian motherfucker of a conflict thanks to which thousands of people loose their lives every single year if not a month?
Btw, tell me more about the 'illegal Polish Settlements' in Silesia ... because I am born and raised in the Silesian region of the Czech Republic and would love a little history lecture. I ain't saying it didn't happen, all I know is that one can't even begin to compare it to the Isr-Pal massacre on continuous play.
You can start with links to trustworthy sources ... I'm looking forward to this.
