Looks like our new Secretary of State will follow her predecessor's policies of undermining an ally to appease our enemies. Having a contiguous PLO state with a corridor cutting Israel in half - reminds me of another corridor during the 1919-39 period.

Ping!

I was going to post a similar article but am at the end of my shift and did not want to comeback to a hundred replies.
I am interested to know people's thoughts on the matter though.

Condoleeza Rice - Colon Powell & Jimmy Carter, warmed over.

[exit82]

First things first.

The Palis are up to bat. If they strike out, again, for the millionth time, forget a Pali state.

The ball is in their court.

I, for one, am sick of anyone making demands on Israel to do anything further. The Palis have done nothing, and expect concession after concession.

Let's see if the terrorist Abbas means what he says first.

Condoleeza: Instant Idiot - Just add State Department!

[the invisib1e hand]

It's a show of words. Only a fool would undermine Israel, and there are no fools in the cabinet that I know of.

Rice: Israel Must Withdraw from More than Gaza and Samaria

Well, I see nuts have been added to Rice Krispies.

[Pylot]

What God giveth, Bush taketh away??

Won't work.

[SunkenCiv]

This means that Gaza must be connected with a land-line to Judea, effectively dividing Israel in half, north and south of the Gaza-Hevron connection.

Back to Arafat's call (in the 1980s) for a divided "Palestinian" state, "with a corridor in between". Screw that idea, screw the so-called "roadmap", screw the idea of Arab control over two jaws of the vice, and screw Rice for offering it -- for that matter, Bush for telling her to do it, or giving it his imprimatur when she suggested it.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

Once again, the words of the late R. Meir Kahane come to fruition. He predicted exactly that this would happen. In addition, he also said that it would be the Likud would be just as likely to negotiate away the holy land as Labor.

Let it be clear and let the record show before G-d and everyone:

Kill enough innocent civilian Jews - men, women and children in the Holy Land through years of genocidal intifadas, and the President of the United States, George W. Bush will lead the world in giving those very same arab and muslim terrorists their own nation as a reward.

What does G-d have in store for the nation and people that would do this against the Jews in the Holy Land?

A homeland nuclear gift from the Religion of Peace. It's coming.

[Terpfen]

This entire thread is depressing. Not because of what Rice said--all this proves is that Bush is the one setting foreign policy, and it's not some Clinton holdovers writing policy statements.

What depresses me is the instant anti-Rice sentiments. Hey, guys, she's doing her job by reiterating the policy the President we just re-elected has been talking about for four years.

Apparently everyone's forgotten her speech to the State Department career creeps already.

What did you expect? The only way to have a correct policy with regard to Israel is to recognize Israel's G-d, and such a move is not only contrary to all the traditions of Jewish liberals but also to America's constitutional religious neutrality. And I'm afraid with all these attacks conservatives are making on islam for having the unmitigated gall to unite religion and state (not to mention execute adulterers and tear down indecent billboards) I'm not expecting any change soon.

Conservative chr*stians are adopting the same enlightenment attitude towards islam that Orthodox Jews have with regard to chr*stianity. How ironic.

HaShem is G-d. That is not a personal opinion.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Dr. Rice has been called many things, but "chr*stian Fundamentalist" was never one of them. Unfortunately!

[TexasTaysor]

This attitude is so wrong. Israel should take back ALL of their land to run the Pals off the continent. They can go back to Jordon and Egypt where they belong.

[BikerNYC]

She is saying and doing exactly what the President wants her to say and do.

[Non-Sequitur]

This means that Gaza must be connected with a land-line to Judea, effectively dividing Israel in half, north and south of the Gaza-Hevron connection.

That's new.

[onedoug]

Gaza is one thing, as the Philistia of old. But...

No Arab state in Eretz Yisrael. EVER!
