If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Jews have a lot of nerve, thinking they should be allowed to have a Country.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

Wouldn't a two state solution need two states? 

How does annexing the Gaza Strip and West Bank translate into Israel not being a country?  (IMHO, this is the more perilous route for Israel's newly passed "Jewish State of Israel" law).

In 1967, the West Bank was part of Jordan, and Gaza was occupied by Egypt.  Did that bring peace to Israel?

Is this constant war bringing peace to Israel?  No.  And Israel is rapidly losing majority support in Western countries among the generations assuming power.

I'd like to see Israel get out of this damn mess.  I'd like to see Palestine get out of this damn mess.

But it's going to take new leadership -- across the board -- able to see beyond this mutually satisfying suicide pact.

By "constant war", you mean constant unprovoked attack by Hamas with the goal of destroying the Jewish state?


And Israel is rapidly losing majority support in Western countries among the generations assuming power.

I wasn't aware that this was a popularity contest.  btw, Israel has never had majority support in "Western countries".  There were only two countries in the entire world that supported Israel in the '73 war.  The US and the Netherlands.


I'd like to see Israel get out of this damn mess.  I'd like to see Palestine get out of this damn mess.

But it's going to take new leadership -- across the board -- able to see beyond this mutually satisfying suicide pact.

What it's going to take is acceptance of the Jewish state in greater Canaan by everyone involved.  It is also going to take recognition of anyone labeled 'Palestinian' to emigrate to any other 'muslim' country.  Israel has already proven its acceptance of both terms in that it accepts a 'Palestinian' state, and that it allows 'Palestinians' to settle into Israel.

The entire ME will be at peace as soon as Israel commits National suicide.  Moslems really do love each other.  Further fantasies available upon demand and a payment of pixie dust.

Does the term "Black September" ring a bell?  Perhaps the Israelis should take tips from the Jordanians in how to deal with Palestinians.

This is part of my earlier point ---  young Muslims now reside throughout the West and their opinion is fortifying a younger generation that is not, in the majority, pro-Israel.  They only know this Israel spread all over the Internet and newspapers:  A bully at war.   Face it, the Palestinians are now David, and the Israelis are now Goliath.  Nobody likes Goliath.

It's been 54 years.  Israel, as the power, needs to figure out what she she really wants. 

If Israel wants the land for the diaspora -- without the indigenous people living there --  then she needs to admit this and act accordingly.  Israel can either sit down and negotiate the transfer of the Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt --- or the IDF can give 72 hours notice --- and then kill them all.

Or Israel can formerly annex the occupied territories and hope this provision in the "Jewish Nation State" law holds firm:   “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people”.

Or Israel can extract the assurances she needs that the Jewish Nation State of Israel will continue to exist as part of a two-state solution with the Palestinians; and then make it so.

Israel must decide how to end this.  Or once the generational power changes hands fully, it will be decided for them.  :shrug:

Actually Mao Zedong said:  “Women Hold Up Half The Sky, et al”-- but close enough ...  Makes you wonder what books Puddin Brain is reading ....

1) McConnell: After careful consideration, I’ve made the decision to oppose the House Democrats’ slanted and unbalanced proposal for another commission to study the events of January the 6th.

2) McConnell: It’s not at all clear what new facts or additional investigation yet another commission could lay on top of the existing efforts by law enforcement and Congress. The facts have come out and will continue to come out.

3) McConnell: From initially offering a laughably partisan starting point; to continuing to insist on various other features under the hood that are designed to centralize control over the commission’s process and its conclusions in Democrats’ hands.

A) Pelosi spox Drew Hammill calls McCarthy resolution on lifting mask requirement on flr "a sad stunt to distract from the reality: that the House Republicans are descending into pure chaos,” Says “This resolution has zero basis in science or reality."

B) Hammill: “If Minority Leader McCarthy wants to be maskless on the Floor of the House of Representatives, he should get to work vaccinating his Members."
