Telling Israel No: Obama's Bold Move

if we want peace in the Middle east, which i believe we all do? There has to be a peaceful solution between Palestine and Israel , the US is in a way is responsible for Israel and must reign them in and try and establish a workable solution to the problem. This conflict is at the crux of modern disputes, from afghanistan to Iraq.

The US would do it's self no harm finally reigning in the Israelis and getting the talks moving.

There is no such thing as a chosen people because there is no such thing as God, and Any god that choses one people over another is obviously not a very nice God

You are right. There was a diaspora that spread the jews through out the world. But God promised that the Jews would once again return Israel(as they are doing at this moment), that the temple would be rebuilt and sacrifices would resume.
Better take a look at the country we are discussing sweetie. The implements needed for sacrifice and decorating the Temple are being made.
Gershom Solomon is leading the way in rebuilding the Temple. In fact, the cornerstone has already been cut.
And lineages have been traced, and young men chosen for the priesthood.
Don't have to believe me, look it up.

How many Arabs live, own property, vote and work in Israel?

How many Jews will be allowed to live in the proposed "Palestinian State"?

Hint: The P.A. reserves the death penalty for any Palestinian who sells land to a Jew.

The way things are going Israel will tell Obama to keep his "guaranteed loans", shove them where the sun doesn't shine, and in future mind his own bloody business. Quite honestly with friends like that Israel doesn't need enemies.

I also wonder how long George Mitchell will put up with being summoned to Ramallah for every planning application submitted in East Jerusalem. Utterly ridiculous.

Do you believe Palestine does?
Do you believe that Israel are incapable of wrong doings?
Do you believe that all of Israels actions are rubber stamped by god?
Do you believe the rest of the world should agree with Israel on everything?

Well the ideal solution would be a one state solution, where all arabs and jews can live in the same state, without one group being treated different to the other.
This would seem an imposiblity, with the animosity each hold against each other, so a 2 state solution must be reached, where the Palestinians are entitled to their own state.

The point I was trying to make is that Israel has no problem with non-Jews living within Israel. They all have the same rights under law.

~23% of the population of Israel is Muslim. They are also represented in the Knesset with the Ra'am-Ta'al party (Israel has proportional representation to ensure that minorities are represented).

Does nobody think it's outrageous that the proposed Palestinian state has to be "Jew free", and that is the reason that the P.A. (and by proxy, Obama) are kicking up such a stink about "settlements"?

The behaviour of Israel over recent years has been disgraceful. I cannot support them based on that alone.

Obama should go as far as to take military action again them if the EVER try and do what they did in Lebanon and Gaza in the future.

Israel needs to remember some lessons from the past. Its coming across as a nasty, bitter, evil place these days.

Sure. Whatever.

I thin you're serious, aren't you? Obama Dumb?! Chosen People?! Ridiculous! Hang your head in shame.

You hit the nail on the head there. Maybe you should go there and find out yourself instead of relying on the (compromised, corrupt, out of touch) media.

Would it have been ok if it had been decided that where you live right now was going to be used to form a state and that you'd be leaving, like it or not?

I suspect not.

I think any man acting against another on behalf of his so called religion is scum.

Actions speak louder than words.

I will never go to Israel. I like Israeli's i've met but their government is a disgrace and the actions of their soldiers against civillians is no better than that of the Nazis. Now i know "godwins law" but you'd have thought they'd have learned a lesson from that awful event, not taken a leaf out of their book.

And you think that is in any way normal and Godly do you? God's chosen people...well yes, you chose to believe that is what the Bible says, choose to believe that is what was actually meant and choose to believe it is the word of God, not a deeply flawed man or men. Although having broken these commandments that qualify you as the 'chosen' people, the whole 'contract' seems null and void to me.
It is like someone who has been bullied reacting and becoming ten times worse a bully because they learnt nothing from the experience and rather than walking the path of light and good (God) are walking the path of ignorance and darkness (evil).

Thanks for the reply, but I have to politely disagree with your analogy.

What you say is not only false reductionism, but it is a gross distortion of the truth. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume not. You may wish to educate yourself on the complicated history of the place, starting from 1890ish and up to modern day. Then tell me:

- When did Arab violence against Jewish immigrants start, and what were the reasons?
- When did the Israelis declare independence from Britain and form their own state?
- When did Israel "occupy" Gaza and Judea/Samaria?

If Israel had indeed stolen land from Arabs then formed their own state and then suffered violence and terrorism as a result then I'd agree with you. But that wasn't the case, and what you are stating is a reversal of causality. Don't worry, you're not alone - it's the oldest trick in the book and the revisionist propaganda machine, funded by Western oil money and aided by nice well-intentioned people such as yourself, has been doing it since 1967.

You have got to be kidding me.

How does that make sense?

God will strike all of Man down because we are condemning the Israelites or something?

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

Please, start watching the news and reading up on fact rather than reading the Bible day and night such that you become confused between politics and religion.

Interesting reading these reviews of this book by Schlomo Zand…maybe the truth is that you have no real claim to the land and no real claim to be chosen or otherwise and that the people of Palestine are the more pure descendants.

You people are amazing. If some other country came and told your country who can live there and where you'd be INCENSED! You'd riot, rebel, and plead to other countries "please don't let this happen". Just like Israel is doing with THEIR country.

Sanctions,freeze israeli assets in the EU and America,no arms shipping.Israel will buckle faster than you can blink....course that won't happen as a i believe this whole ordeal is nothing but a dog and pony show.

Israel will not lose American support IMO.

But they can no longer afford a business as usual stance. They like the rest of the world will have to learn to get along with their neighbors. It's not just the Israelis but also their Muslim neighbors who will have to make adjustments and concessions.
