Knesset speaker: Jabotinsky relevant today

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said in response to President Shimon Peres' remarks about Revisionist leader, Zeev Jabotinsky, "Jabotinksy was not wrong, Mr. President. He is relevant today more than any other time in our nation's history."


Peres said Tuesday that Jabotinsky "dreamed of a Jewish state on the whole territory of the Land of Israel on both sides of the Jordan. This dream, in my eyes, was too big for us. Perhaps even larger-than-life leaders also can be largely incorrect." (Amnon Meranda)

A person in his position shouldn't be saying things like this about a sovereign country.

Well, they have to do something with all the military aid we send them....after all, god forbid the Israelis give up their Universal Health Care and pay for their own military.

Never mind that Jordan is another Country with its own government. What Israel wants Israel gets. And after Jordan, well Iraq can be next.
Saudi Arabia and all that lovely oil can be next.

And after Israel takes over the entire mideast, maybe it will go for the USA, fool that Uncle Sam is, he will probably pay Israel to take us over.

So?? Whats your point?
This is a non - issue as Peres stated -- This dream, in my eyes, was too big for us. Perhaps even larger-than-life leaders also can be largely incorrect."

But the Knesset Speaker believes this is a very suitable time to achieve this dream.

I like the snowball's chances better than the speaker's.

Maybe the speaker's got a good connection for hallucinogens.

The point is that the Speaker of the Knesset wants Jordan to disappear from the map (oh, wait, that was Ahmadinejad).

Second quote shouldn't be attributed to me, Harv.

 

[Harabec]

LOL, so much hate. Rivlin disagrees with Peres in a random discussion and people here are foaming at the mouth. Ran out of of real news?

Thanks. Fixed.

I thought threads were supposed to have an Op input of some kind. What's there to comment on. Why not just do a CNN news feed here.

actually your being an idiot with your words.
The Knesset speaker was talking about the land, not the people of Jordan.

Ahmadejad was talking about the nation of Israel as in the people of Israel.

Stay in school and you will learn to get your facts straight..until then you can be our new village idiot!!!

Says you. People interpret things to suit their agenda, like the Neocon/Israeli FUD campaign against Iran.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Here's me being surprised. Here's a </sarcasm> tag.

I think the comment's a bit too vague to assume he holds the same viewpoint. I wouldn't be surprised if some hardcore Zionists didn't think they had a mystical right to all the land from the Euphrates to the Nile. They already have Hebrew names ready for half the cities in between.

He, the Speaker, wants the land wiped off the map? Wouldn't he want the people to "disappear" so he could take it? Seems like the Speaker and the Iranian President both want the same thing, but for different countries.

dari you are smarter than that....
What did he say?? let me refresh your memory....
Peres said Tuesday that Jabotinsky "dreamed of a Jewish state on the whole territory of the Land of Israel on both sides of the Jordan.

Where in that statement does he say anything about doing harm to the people of Jordan??
He doesn`t!!

Ublike Ahmadejad who wishes harm on the people of israel....

 

[JEDIYoda]

lets look at Jabotinsky.. I took this from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ze'ev_Jabotinsky

mainly because it is accurate and it is what I learned in school.

He is a very interesting character!!

Jabotinsky was a complex personality, combining cynicism and idealism. He was convinced there was no way for the Jews to regain any part of Palestine without opposition from the Arabs, but he also believed that the Jewish state could be home to Arab citizens.[7] In 1934 he wrote a draft constitution for the Jewish state which declared that the Arab minority would be on an equal footing with its Jewish counterpart "throughout all sectors of the country's public life." The two communities would share the state's duties, both military and civil service, and enjoy its prerogatives. Jabotinsky proposed that Hebrew and Arabic should enjoy equal rights and that "in every cabinet where the prime minister is a Jew, the vice-premiership shall be offered to an Arab and vice versa."[8]

Nowhere does the person express any ill will towards Arabs or anyone lese for that matter.
In fact you could almost call him a man ahead of his time.

In fact one thing that was dear to his heart was for Palestine to become a state..
