    Its all in God's hands.

    All happens because God wants it to happen.

    So Israel and her wee allies best watch out.

    Every dollar we give to Palestinians is one more Israeli shekel Palestinians can use to build peace tunnels and pay stipend to the families of terrorists.

    according to my Orthodox Jewish relatives, the Holocaust would not have happened if the European Jews had remained religious and not assimilated.

    its common Orthodox Jewish belief that all tragedies that befall the Jews are due to failure to abide by God's laws.

    We have been in that business since 1948.

    Funny though we also have been in the business of funding the Arabs and reports are they got more than Israel for years.

    Robert, Israel has never repaid a loan.. The Cranston Act automatically generates a grant to cover the principle and interest on any loan made to Israel.

    Given that Israel has one of the finest conventional Militarys in the World
    And given that it is one of the few Nuclear Armed nations in the World
    And given that It is surrounded by nations are either Occupied (Palastine) by Israel
    or have been Ruined by Proxy invasions, (Syria) or bombed back into the
    stone age, (Iraq, Libya) or Suffered Foreign sponsored regime change (Eygpt)

    T
    here is no country in all the surrounding Nations that you have trained to Hate you
    that are in any position to in any way substantially threaten you

    Israel would in no way be disarming itself by fulfilling its obligations according
    .......................................................... to its Signature on the UN Charter

    There is no nation who is in any position to overrun this Nuclear Armed national entity
    The only reason it does not adopt the fair constraints of the 67 Borders and withdraw
    its settlements is because more Land is its priority NOT Peace. And it can only maintain
    this policy by the instilling of Irrational Fear & Paranoia in its own Sheeple citizenry

    That is why it abuses the Palestinians, and does all it can to destabilize its Neighbors
    Even to the extent of helping radical Islamist ISIS terrorist proxies in their attempts to
    overthrow the secular regime in Syria. That is why they did everything they could
    to encourage their main Proxy, the USofA to use its Blood & Treasure to bomb
    Iraq, Libya, & Afghanistan into Ruin & why they now want to threaten & and destroy
    Iran. & of coarse the Iranians are said to irrationally Hate you for your freedoms, it has nothing
    whatsoever to do with the FACT that you are constantly threatening to NUKE them


    Your leaders have closely studied Machiavelli and adopted his precepts. The more Hate & Fear
    ........they can generate the better control they have. The Hate & Fear of its own citizens, toward
    ..................its Neighbors & the Hate & Fear of its Neighbors towards its Israeli tormentors

    Hate & Fear are . ANCIENT CONTROL MECHANISMS
    the great unwashed never seem to be able to catch on to that game

    & t
    he Zionists running Israel - LOVE Hate & Fear, - they use them very skillfully in a Machiavellian sort of a way :(

    As this article says:
    In 1978, NY Congressman Barbar Conable sponsored a bill that would legalize homebrewing. When introducing the bill to Congress, Conable said that Americans should not have to “rely on the beer barons” for their brew. It wasn’t until 1979, when President Jimmy Carter signed the Cranston Act [named after California Senator Alan Cranston], that home brewing was legalized in many states. At the time of the law’s passage, only forty four breweries were in operation the US.Since that time, of course, the number of beers available to consumers has exploded, in part thanks to deregulation and increased economic freedom. Thanks, Jimmy.

    Oh for God's Sake !

    If I accept and admit to the FACT that Israel is a Nation - Which I have done a number of times for you
    Then to be rational, logical & consistent, I must of necessity accept the FACT that Israeli's ergo Jews
    have a right to live there, Even though Israel's genesis might Legitimately be considered Questionable


    Unless of course I have no problem living with the level of Cognitive Dissonance that my Friend Dutch seems
    to be able to maintain - However - Such is NOT the case with me, I strive for a rational, logical, consistency


    Same as if I accept the FACT that Americans now have the right to live in the United States
    In-spite of the FACT that its genesis might be Legitimately be considered Questionable
    if by no one else but the indigenous tribes that suffered genocide in its establishment & expansion

    Now if you cannot consider that as an affirmative answer, then I must be tempted to call you STUPID
    and take my chances with some of the Moderators around here who seem to be looking for an excuse
    .................................................................................................................................to BAN me

    But of course I won't have to call you STUPID will I ? :mrgreen:

    So you are another one that does not support a nations sovereignty. Why am I not surprised.

    Under international law for diplomatic relations (Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations), an embassy exists by virtue of mutual consent. The sending state must ensure that the consent of the receiving state has been given for its proposed embassy (Head of Mission)

    There is no legitimate State of Israel beyond its current border, and to claim a historical right to Jerusalem when Israel abandoned the territory centuries ago (under force in most instances) is ludicrous. And the comments of Haley show her lack of understanding of the history of the area.

    I have no idea what your second sentence means - maybe you're replying to a different poster on another thread...?

    As to Haley, she's committed political suicide by doubling down on Trump's horrendous act.

    A measure of loyalty is one thing, but her actions here simply will not, and cannot, be forgiven.

    Tragic for all concerned.

    You make some interesting contributions, but fyi, the multiple fonts/colors/sizes make your posts extremely difficult to read; uniformity can be a good thing. :)
