New US policy on Israel

[Hortlund]

Well, that came as a bit of a surprise. A good surprise however (although, Im sure some will disagree with that part).

Anyway, it makes sense really. US is siding firmly with Israel, its most dependable (only?) ally in the mid-east. And at the same time the pals will get teh message that the intifada does them no good whatsoever.

[_Schadenfreude_]

Welcome to the next 10 years of killing.

[Nilsen]

yup _Schadenfreude_ im afraid you are correct.

[Hortlund]

Not with the wall in place. Pretty smart really...leave the Gaza strip and seal the borders to Israel. Then leave all but a handful of settlements in the west bank and build a big wall along the Israeli border to prevent infiltration.

Oh there will be alot of gnashing of teeth among the pals, but basically that is all they will be able to .

[Staga]

Crappy situation.
Bush had two options: Piss of jews and lose their votes in US elections or piss of arabic/islamic countries and by doing so... well you already know.

Anyways it's now clear that "Lebensraum" is acceptable policy for US to support, just like apartheid is.

Oh well; You reap what you sew, like it or not.

[Maniac]

Not with the wall in place.

Talk about being dense.... So you firmly belive that the wall will stop the suicide killings? If so, dont you think they will find other means to perform attacks on Israel?

[deSelys]

Pouring a little more oil on the fire, smart move indeed.

[Arlo]

*FLASH*

U.S. continues to support Israel. Sky falling. End of the world as we know it.

[Momus--]

Further proof that the US is indeed Israel's b1tch

[Thud]

We've seen quite a lot the past few years but nevertheless I was quite stunned when I saw GWB's statement this morning. Just when I thought he couldn't possibly make things worse he does exactly so.

Guess he has grown fond of what he started in Iraq, the more the merrier probably....

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Oh my! The U.S. stands firm beside a long time ally. What IS this world coming to?

The NEXT ten years of killing? Like anything has stopped the LAST ten years of killing?

What a crock.

No matter what concessions Israel is willing to make, short of tying concrete blocks around their necks with log chains and running into the sea, that element of Arabs that is continually making terrorist attacks against Israel is not going to stop. Their goal is the death of all Jews and the elimination of Israel. So Israel should give in to their wishes?

When you have a viable alternative, one that is based in reality, come back and let us know.

[mosgood]

Those next 10 years of killing would have happened anyways.

[lazs2]

I would be really interested in hearing how you euros with your noses stuck up in the air would handle the situation.

What would you have us do?  That is the smart move.  Israel is our most staunch ally in the region and our spiritual brother as well.  Remember God's promise to Abraham which he fulfills to this very day.  Since time immemorial one tard or another has sought to wipe the jews from the earth yet they remain and with their culture intact.  Please point out which other group of people has suffered so much persecution yet still IS?  Our policy is once again the correct one, the smart one and most importantly the one that honors God, in whom we trust.  God said in reference to Abraham that he would blessed those who bless him and curse those who cursed him.  Abraham's progeney were divided between Ishmael and Issac.  Ishmael was rejected.  Issac was blessed.  God's blessing is with Israel so therefore with us in the United States as we continue to support and pray for them.  Silly euros. Homicide bombers be damned.  they will be there irrespective of any decision made by the United States short of nuking Israel.

Wow.....  scorcher!!

(Excited to get a good seat for this one)
