Arab culture is retrograde and incompatible with advanced, Western civilization.

There, I said it.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. We certainly did start it. We’re here. We’re using air. We’re making a claim to the place. It’s ours. We didn’t tell the Arabs to have a problem with that, but they do.

I am old enough to remember the ME conflict over 50 years ago. Rather than resolve the dispute like civilized people, the arabs first response was terrorism. Blowing up school buses filled with kids, markets etc. That really poisoned the well and public opinion. Even IF they had had a legitimate case no one was willing to hear it because that would be giving in to terrorists. Fifty years later arab terrorism hasn’t stopped, its gone international. The problem with Israel’s policy is that they have used a tit for tat strategy. The ME has been in stalemate for over fifty years. The key to ending a conflict is crushing decisive victory, one that leaves no doubt in your opponents that they have been defeated. One that compels them to beg for peace. Unfortunately the west no longer strives for such victorys which is why we haven’t really won a war since WWII.

I saw this coming.. way back in the primaries trump said “I will force Israel...”. And that’s when I knew the words sovereign nation meant nothing to trump, like our sovereign nation.

>>President Trump needs to have a talk with Rex Tillerson

No he doesn't.

Deut 31:16-18

16 And the Lord said to Moses: "You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them. 17 On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, 'Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?' 18 And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.

President Trump needs to have a talk with Rex Tillerson. Tillerson’s State Department has issued a report that blames Israel for…EVERYTHING.

Some holdover POS from the Obozo administration wrote this. Tillerson does not review every piece of paper produced by the State Department.

[Hugin]

“Nobody saw that coming.”

An oil guy siding with the Arabs over Israel? Yeah, that’s a real shocker.

[trebb]

I guess the salient question is, who in the State Department complied the report and what is the context of Tillerson’s actual belief in it. Still a LOT of Obama holdovers in the department - might need to expedite the purge.

For another honest view, Rex Tillerson should read this:

Tillerson surprises me....
