From a related FOXNEWS Story: JERUSALEM — An Israeli lawmaker who survived the Nazi Holocaust expressed outrage Tuesday over Israeli troops writing identification numbers on the foreheads and forearms of Palestinian detainees awaiting interrogation during an army sweep of a West Bank refugee camp. Also from UN Resolution: Syria abstains from vote. |

Quoted: The resolution "Affirms a vision of a Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel within secure and recognized borders." "Affirms a vision"? Wow. What powerful and decisive language! |

A big strike against the Bush administration (likely due to the influence of Secretary Powell, IMO). The Palestinian Authority sends over hordes of suicide bombers and we respond with a resolution of support for them and pressure on Israel. [>:/]

What powerful and decissive language! "Affirms a vision ?" I don't have a clue as to what that means in diplomatic speak but I believe something is likely to happen as apparently the United States both drafted the proposal and shockingly - at least to me - seems prepared to provide monitors. |

Next they'll "affirm a vision" of a world without hunger, world peace, and 100% literacy.
NOTHING will stop the Palestinians from trying to kill Jews. Not even their own state. |

The Palestinians were offered this very thing several years ago by the Israeli's themselves and outright rejected it and responded with more terror attacks. That is why Sharon is PM now, because appeasement got the Israeli's more attacks and the Israeli people had had enough and elected the hawkish Sharon. Does it kind of remind you of Chamberlain and Churchhill? I don't remember the exact wording, but someone once said something about those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. In other words, if you appease viscious people, it will get you killed.

Maybe they are pushing this through the council and therefore making it official that Palestine doesn't want a Palestinian State. Such as it has been offered, but has been rejected. In that Case I see how it is possible that Syria would abstain. Yes, I am quite sure this is a setup so that the US can prove to the world community that Palestine indeed DOes not want a Palestinian state, merely the destruction of Jews.

I simply don't want the United States to pay for either side of the war. 3) Turkey is of strategic importance to the United States. Neither Israel nor the Palestinian Territories are of any strategic importance to the US. 4) I care only about the United States. Put the money paid by United States taxpayers to Israel and the Palestinians into our own Militaries' budget. We damn sure need it after 8 Klinton years of military destruction. |

Quoted: That's what comes with victory and strength. Rush was (I think ) kinda making this point the other day. Peace will ONLY come when one side has defeated and subjugated the other. I tend to agree. Now Rush didn't say this, but I think its still true - our efforts to "make peace" when there can be no peace (neither side has won a decisive and final victory , like we eventually did with Mexico - there's TOO MUCH French influence in Canada for them to want to fight anybody [}:D] ) are only assuring years more of small skirmish type war. Here's what I would do - Take US tax dollars COMPLETELY out of the equation from BOTH sides, as well as UN / US / anyone elses intervention. Let them fight it out, and be done with it. UNTIL that happens, there will be no peace. These people HATE each others existence. Like the Serbs and the Croats, its a genetic thing. As the old saying goes "If you desire peace, prepare for war." In this case, modify it to say "If you desire peace, prepare for AND FIGHT the inevitable war." Full scale, all out war. |

Benjamin Interesting conjecture and you may well be correct. However, the reverse could well be true. Israel does not want the Palestinians to have their own state. Already Israel is quoted as being "uncomfortable with International intervention." "International Intervention" by the United States is what pays for their ability to wage war. Pull U.S. money from both sides and letem go. |

If Egypt did decide to bar a US fleet from moving through, they'd have to risk a war to do so... and Israel again wouldn't be very important, that close to Europe. |

My personal position is this: 1) The policies of the past have not worked for either Israel or the Palestinians. How can you say that subsailor? Israel still exists to this very day, despite the fact that it is outnmbered by its neighbors almost 20 to 1. Its policies for national survival have kept it alive and going long past what any odds maker woud have given you 50 years ago. 2) Remove ALL United States Taxpayer paid aid to BOTH Israel and the Palestinians and I don't give a damn what they do to each other. I simply don't want the United States to pay for either side of the war. OK, have it your way, but then you should equally demand that the US abandon South Korea and Taiwan, cause who knows what sort of costs our invovement with those two countries cost the US taxpayers each year. And these are two very rich countries, indeed. 3) Turkey is of strategic importance to the United States. Neither Israel nor the Palestinian Territories are of any strategic importance to the US. You need to explain that to the folks who make our policies then, 'cause they think Israel is vital to our security. 4) I care only about the United States. I care first about the United States. But in caring for the United States, I care also for those who have cast their lots with us. Israel, for better or worse, is our best friend and ally in the world. Whatever you may say about them, could be said in spades for all the others that some claim to be our allies. But now you are dedicated to cutting our ties with Israel at this crucial moment in their history? How did you feel about the United States turning its back on South Vietnam in 1975, after giving promise after promise of aid and support, and signing a peace treaty to the effect that, if the North Vietnamese ever invaded, we would come to their aid! [b]Well, we didn't![/b] And I feel the same about any abandonment of Israel by the United States. But trust me, subsailor, what the UN does or doesn't do, what the USA does or doesn't do, and even what Sharon or his replacement does or doesn't do, will not alter the landscape one iota!

Interesting that you would talk about entertwined economies and that it would help the peace process. 1. you just explained one of the biggest issues here, Americans in general think in terms of money. Palistians don't care about money, or themselves for that matter. They just want Israel destroyed. Have you ever seen the PAL side vs the Israel side? I am talking about where they live and work? 2. It doesn't work here either, in general the mexicans I have to deal with every day don't want to contribute to America, they just want to take and bring us down to their level. If in Israel the PAL wanted to join in they would still want to bring that country to their level. on their bellies like snakes. 3. Even Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt don't want the PAL, they just use them as a means to afflict Israel. My informed opinion, for what it is worth on this subject. FWIW I say we clean house on Iraq and the PAL leadership and transplant the rest of the PAL to IRAQ for resettlement dave |

You're really the champion of bullsh*ts, Garandman. Yup, and you apparently are the champion of using foul language when the truth doesn't suit you [}:D] Sometimes I wonder if some people round here can put together a cogent thought WITHOUT the filler expletives shit, hell, damn, f*ck, and ass/asshole. Now, to your "points"... Our present $3 BILLION per year is supplying the Israelis F-16, and other us made miltary technology and ordnance, which is the PRIMARY thing the Israelis are using to keep the palestinian hordes at bay. Without those, the Israelis and palestinians would be on an equal footing pretty much with regard to ordnance. But your post above IGNORES the fact that much of US aid to Israel is NOT military in nature. Its greenbacks that the Israelis can spend any way they choose - schools, roads, bridges, etc etc etc. LASTLY, YOU ARE TRYING TO PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE.... On the one hand you try to say Israel has existed by its own means and finances.... Then when I say "OK, take US tax dollars away" you say "OH NO!!!!! Israel will cease to exist and be overrun by terrorists if we do that!!!" You can't have it both ways - either US tax dollars are key to Israels survival, or they aren't. And if you are gonna NOW (your tune will change in a minute) claim they don't need US tax dollars, THEN I AM GONNA DEMAND THEY STOP RECEIVING US TAX DOLLARS. Pick a side of the fence, sir. |

(I'm going to choose to ignore your comment about my honesty.) I'm not going to change my position regarding funding. I don't care what other countries fund the Palestinians and should France, Chad, Italy, etc., choose to fund the Israeli's I don't care about that either. I want all United States Taxpayer money to stop funding both Israel and the Palestinians. Further I want that money to go to increase funding to our own United States Military. We have low ranking enlisted soldiers, airman and sailors that qualify for welfare due to low pay. This is our National DISGRACE. |

Syria's purpose for abstaining from the vote was because they claim the resolution doesn't address the so called "Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory". I agree that we should annihilate Iraq. I think that if Saudi Arabia is so set on having a Palestinian state that they should give them some of their land to settle. I guess that wouldn't work though because Israel and the Jews would still exist.
I SAY WE WIPE OUT THOSE BLOOD THIRSTY BASTARDS. AFTER SEEING THE PALESTINIANS DANCE IN CELEBRATION ON 9/11, I COULD NOT CARE LESS WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. I'M ALL FOR KILLING THEM OURSELVES. TO ANYONE ON THE SIDE OF THOSE LITTLE TERRORISTS, I SAY THEY SHOULD BE NEXT ON OUR LIST. my .02 they deserve whatever happens to them for putting their children in the street and then having hidden gunmen fire on the soldiers. That's sick. I have no sympathy for the Palestinian adults. They should be ashamed of themselves. For the children in Palestine I pray for peace, as for their parents, they deserve a slow painful death. Hope I didn't offend anyone and I'm sure I'll get an angry reaction but so be it. PC is no good anymore. In my book the Palestinian leadership is just as bad as the hijackers. have a nice day |

Quoted: This makes as much sense as the UN declaring an AL QAEDA State in New York. To me decades of the same failed policies do not make sense. |

Quoted: Syria's purpose for abstaining from the vote was because they claim the resolution doesn't address the so called "Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory". I agree that we should annihilate Iraq. I think that if Saudi Arabia is so set on having a Palestinian state that they should give them some of their land to settle. I guess that wouldn't work though because Israel and the Jews would still exist. I SAY WE WIPE OUT THOSE BLOOD THIRSTY BASTARDS.

But there this thing does not stop. Are you prepared to wipe-out all Arabs ? And after that all Muslims ?? On a purely practical point, there would come a time when the Arabs would set fire to their oil fields. Now the US only imports a small percentage of oil from the middle east but on this oil supply Europe and Japan heavily depend. The economic result would be a world wide depression. Now if you choose to return our country to the Vietnam era your plan would do so. If you want to see our country bloodily divided let the plan to kill all Palestinians go forward. As for myself, I choose peace. A peace enforced by the United States of America if necessary. |

Quoted: Post from 5subslr5 - My personal position is this: 1) The policies of the past have not worked for either Israel or the Palestinians. How can you say that subsailor? Israel still exists to this very day, despite the fact that it is outnmbered by its neighbors almost 20 to 1. Its policies for national survival have kept it alive and going long past what any odds maker woud have given you 50 years ago. 2) Eric The(Loyal)Hun[>]:)] Eric, Israel exists because the United States has pursued an Israel 'only' policy. That policy is about to change. (Sharon is due much thanks for forcing the U.S. to reexamine its' policies. Palestinians should build a monument to the dumb schmuck.) |

Quoted: Post from Renamed - I would agree that the US is Israel's best friend and ally (not that there's much competition for that honor ), but by what measure is Israel our best friend and ally? Voting record in UN for starters. Eric The(Look,You'llFindIt)Hun[>]:)] I know that Israel almost always (over 90% of the time) votes with the US in the UN, but I'm having trouble finding a summary of all countries' votes with and against the US in recent years. Can you point me to a source? |

Just read on the Fox Wire.
It appears that those Israeli 'saints' ( at least the word is biblical) DO NO ABIDE BY THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS WITH REGARD TO THE PALESTINIANS. Must confess this is news to me. All the screaming about the U.S. not following the Conventions at Gitmo but prior to seeing this on Fox, not a word have I seen regarding the Israeli's disregard for the Geneva Conventions. |

Nah. Fer the most part, he uses logic, and NOT expletives, to make his case. I don't always agree with his logic, but at least his logic doesn't get lost in a potty mouth. More than anything, its a general observation I was (am) making. Beyond that, see who I was quoting in that particular post. |
