I dunno about this.... Seems to be terrorists are like egg-sucking dogs, the only way to stop them is to put'em down.

I've read your view. Why is there no barf alert on this one? Especially coming from you.

What are you smoking? Can I have some?

I figured the source would suffice for a barf alert.

Yeh right. We can all negociate with a terrorist group whose motto is: "Death to Israelis - Death to Israel". Negotiations with the Palestinians is a thing of the past.... It should have been that way from the very beginning. The PLO stands for Palestine Liberation Organization, and to them ALL Israel IS Palestine and what they want to free Palestine of is ALL Jews!!

I don't any faction in Israel will buy this recipe for self suicide. I know it sucks, but Israel just needs to keep the barbarians outside the gates, and on the other side of the wall, and do so for very many decades, while worrying about what might be offered up in uncertain skies. The neighborhood sucks.

Strangely enough, the writer is correct but not for the reason he thinks he is.

The reason this election is a 'chance for peace' is that now that Hamas is the duly elected government of 'palestine' the next homicide bomber or rocket that leaves 'pali' territory for Israel becomes a no crap Act Of War.

That will give the Israeli government all the reason it needs to drop a couple of thousand pound LGBs on the 'parliament' during it's very next full session.

Let all the rats get in one place, turn 'em into pink mist.

Voila....a 'chance for peace'.

Using "barf alert" is for girly men. I don't use it ever. The content speaks for itself, and the readers are smart enough to parse the content, and draw their own judgments, as I just did.

What does the 12% figure mean exactly? Is the area on the east side of the wall only 12% of something larger, or does the wall take in 12% of the pre 1967 borders?

I found it interesting an Arab-American publication was openly taking a pro-Hamas posture. Not surprising, interesting given Hamas' status as a terror organization with cells in the US. I'm sure CAIR is celebrating, but I haven't seen them commenting.

Thnis article in non-sense.

Can Hamas make the leap from terrorist group to governing political party? This is certainly not impossible. The Stern Gang and Irgun, groups responsible for the King David hotel terrorist attacks, as well as massacres of Palestinians, gave up arms for politics. The pro-slavery rebels of the American South laid down their arms after the civil war and joined the Democratic party.

The above mentioned weren't acting on instructions from Alah.

HAMAS is following the Koran and respecting Islamic tradition. To them the Israelis are on consecrated ground. Caliph Omar bin-el-Khatab many years ago said it should be consecrated for Moslem generations till Judgement Day.

HAMAS is not going to allow Infidels on that land,ever.

Why can't the Author of this article and the Jews realize this, and stop fantasizing about peace talks, or reforming terrorists. - Tom

"I dunno about this.... Seems to be terrorists are like egg-sucking dogs, the only way to stop them is to put'em down."

From a strategy intensive, prior service point of view, there's a lot of truth in that regardless of the size of the problem in front of us.

Palestinians who make up half of the population on historic Palestine will be stuck behind Apartheid walls and fences on 12% of historic Palestine’s land.

I didn't catch that. I think he's referring to the fact that the West Bank and Gaza are only 12% of the British Mandate, which included what are now Israel and Jordan. Don't forget that along with the destruction of Israel, a formal goal of the PLO is reunification with Jordan. Just because King Hussein defeated them in 70-71 doesn't mean they've abandoned that objective.

Well then the writer is thinking rather big, and seems to have in mind a Jew free middle east.

"Though the United States doesn’t know it, its best course of action is to make this an opportunity for negotiations as a framework for peace."

*** Those who are responsible for offering negotiations for the U.S. have been preparing this as a step in the framework of peace. That is why you heard our President make positive remarks to the MSM. Giving them validity also gives them responsibility for their populace.
