I didn't know Israel was having troubles with terrorism the last few years. The news doesn't talk about attacks in Israel anymore. I assumed that meant they don't happen anymore or as often. But we hear about ISIS in Europe and America.
So Israel gets bombed a lot still from Hezbolla? I didn't realize that.
Israel has no problem with Islamic terrorism... except for the problem with Islamic terrorism.
I guess you excuse rocket fire from Hamas, islamo-tunnels burrowing into Israeli territory, Israeli citizens being attacked with knives, etc. etc. as just another day of fun and games when around Arabs-Moslems.
That stuff was happening 16 years ago. What should Israel do about it? I say a 2 state solution.
Did you see my comparison between jews/palestinians and a couple who are in an abusive relationship but won't get a divorce? They need to be separated asap.
What are you waiting to happen? Are you waiting for Hammas to stop digging tunnels or lofting bombs into your cities? That aint going to happen. At least not while you are treating them like shit but I suspect they'll keep hating you even if you stop treating them badly so probably best would be to split up.
I live in the
Great Satan™ so it's unlikely Hamas will tunnel into my neighborhood.
In terms of treating Islamic terrorists "like shit", how else should I react to islamic terrorists?
Because a few terrorists terrorize America should America treat all arab Americans the way Israel treats all Palestinians? Of course not. It would make things worse.
Well, if it's only a few terrorists terrorizing the
Great Satan™, we shouldn't get our undies in a bunch.
In the harshest criticism from a member of the U.S. government against its Israeli ally, Kerry
spent more than an hour venting his frustration with continued Israeli settlement construction and laying out parameters for eventual peace. The settlements and the nearly 50-year-old occupation, he said, is creating a reality on the ground that precludes the possibility of a two-state solution. He stopped short of using the word “apartheid,” but warned that the one-state reality that is emerging will create a “separate and unequal” situation, invoking language from the Jim Crow era.
“The settler agenda is defining the future in Israel,” Kerry said. “Their stated purpose is clear: They believe in one state, greater Israel,” he continued, referring to aspirations by extreme conservatives to eventually annex occupied Palestinian territory.
So be honest. You hard liners don't want to give Palestine it's own country.
Kerry’s premise shouldn’t be controversial. It has been U.S. policy for more than four decades that Israeli settlements pose an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians. But what is peculiar about his remarks is their timing. With just three weeks left in office, it is unclear what he hoped to accomplish with the speech. The answer to that is complicated, but it hinges heavily on the election of Donald Trump.
Next month, the Obama administration hands over policymaking authority to a man who has
encouraged Israel to build more settlements. The president-elect has also nominated David Friedman, a confidante who has
donated to pro-settlement causes, to serve as his ambassador to Israel. In coordination with an Israeli government dominated by politicians who openly disavow the two-state solution, the Trump White House appears poised to reverse decades of bipartisan commitment to Palestinian statehood by greenlighting Israeli settlements.
Why didn't you just say so? You don't want a 2 state solution and you don't give a **** if the world thinks it's wrong that you are building more and more settlements where the Palestinians are living. Just be honest. It took me long enough to figure this out. You could have just told me. We won't stop you. Maybe we can take on more Palestinian refugees the next 4 years.
