There goes one of our major allies on the war on Terror. It's a shame this news story hasn't come out sooner.

And after tomorrow we can say: There goes one of our forum trollshills. It's a shame he didn't leave sooner. You have 4 years to work on your act. When you come back with your new name in 2012, try be a tad less transparent.

IS it really so much to ask?

Of course it is. At least the Jewish people have no problem sharing the city with them, why do they need to control it?

What do you expect Israel to do?

Oh, I'm sorry your surprise attack didn't work, its ok, haha I know you were jk, here have your shit back? Seriously.

We already had a discussion about this radical Israeli website that has been shown to be complete fabrication.
In fact it was just a couple of weeks ago.

You want to mods to start censoring biased news sources?

Why do the Jewish people have a problem then to give them control? It can go the same way right?

Conquered? You have no idea if you've conquered them. They probably will fight until the end for their land.

They are only still alive because of the US. No one else cares about them besides as a humanitarian gesture. The arabs don't want them, Israel doesn't want them, no other country really cares. Once the Arab states come in line and make peave with Israel the Palestinians, without any backers, will have too as well.

Would you mind splitting California with Mexico? Sure they have a large population in SoCal, and they have a historicaly accurate claim to it? Or would you see that as infringing on your sovereignty and splitting your country up?

That is why Israel can't give up Jerusalem.

I agree with what you said. But to the Palestinians, their land was taken away from them and they're probably going to do anything to get it back. If Israel can't give up Jerusalem then it would be hypocritical to ask the Arabs to give up their demand for control for Jerusalem.

Obama Tells Abbas: I Support Dividing Jerusalem

I have no way of knowing if such reprots are accurate (I don't think anybody else here does either).

But such reports to serve to illustrate how many are unsure of Obama's foreign policy inclinations, and I think rightfully so. The MSM has glossed over, or ignored such topics.

I think if we are gonna have a foreign policy shift it should be out in the open and debated, that's one of my complaints with Obama and/or the MSM coverage.

Palestine wants all of there land back. They have a habbit of making demands, and once those are met, asking for more. They were originally offered there own seperate states, but desired everything. Israel has to protect its identity and its heritage, Palestine is welcome to accept the terms that give it everything it wanted...10 years ago, but they refuse too, because now they desire more. Israel will continue to refuse the efforts by Palestine to subject and destroy the identity of Israel, until Palestine can come to the table with a set of demands it knows will at least start something no peace will be made. Israel, as the stronger nation can afford to sit back and wait, no one really cares. Sure people here condemn Israel, but no one really cares.
