Bush Warns Israel Over Palestinian State ("It's in Israel's interest there be a Palestinian state")

News-Journal ^ | 12/12/2003 | GEORGE GEDDA - AP

``It's in Israel's interest there be a Palestinian state,'' Bush told reporters at the White House. ``It's in the poor suffering Palestinian people's interest there be a Palestinian state.''

I am not going to even tell you what I think about this statement.

[yonif]

We support creating a new terrorist state, but hey, who cares, we have a war on "terrorism" to fight.

[Pylot]

You know, old Dennis Miller put a pretty fine point on the situation.

To paraphrase he said, imagine a football field. Thats the Arab World of 500 million.

In the middle of the foot ball field is a match box. Thats Israel.

Now, if Israel will just give the Arabs half of the match box everything will be OK. Right?

Bush is a bigger idiot and more liberal that I ever dreamed he could be.

in Israel's interest...Palestinian state

That's silly. No it isn't.

[Hunble]

You know, the last time that I looked, each and every Palestinian has a Jordanian pass-port.

I have absolutely no problems with Israel declaring these people as citizens of Jordan.

[Zack Nguyen]

"It's in Israel's interest there be a Palestinian state,"

With respect, I don't see how.

[yonif]

It's in "Israel's interest"? Yeah, if it wanted to be destroyed.

[onedoug]

There is a so-called "Palestinian" state: Jordan.

[Hunble]

Why is the "WEST BANK" on the EAST side of Israel?

Answer: It is the West Bank of Jordan!

Thanks for your input.

I didn't believe
Bush said that. I checked the link.
Still hard to believe.

Perhaps the US
crime rate would drop if we gave
a separate state

to the murders
we've -- I guess -- mistakenly
put in our prisons...

[Hunble]

At any time, Jordan can grant the Palestinian people their own separate State.

If and when that happens, I am sure that both Israel and America will work closely with Jordan to respect this new country.

It worked in India when Mountbatten midwifed the birth of Pakistan. Perhaps if the Israel gave up it's coastal ports, Jerusalem.

Peace has been reigning joyfully on the subcontinent for 50+ years.

Those peaceful Pakistanis are what the Palestinians wish to be like.

But something will happen when I'm president: as soon as I take office I will begin the process of moving the U.S. ambassador to the city Israel has chosen as its capital

"President Bush is committed to moving our embassy to Jerusalem. The process is ongoing. We have not started any actions yet." Colin Powell, March 2001

[NYC GOP Chick]

Nope. The proper analogy would be for us to carve out a chunk of our land and give it to al qaeda, to have their own terrorist-sponsoring state.

I'm just wondering why Bush is more concerned with the widdle feewings of the poor widdle so-called palis than with the fact that they are in the hole that they and their putative leader dug for them.

[thinktwice]

Best plan for Israel is to ....

Push em back, push em back, way back!

[adam_az]

Maybe Bush is hoping that newly-minted "documented" aliens will be his campaign volunteers this time around?

He's making it awful hard for his strongest supporters to follow his lead.
