Poll: 96% Of Israeli Jews Won't Give Up Western Wall For Peace
HAARETZ ^ | May 13, 2007 | Nadav Shragai

Ninety-six percent of Israeli Jews are against Israel relinquishing the Western Wall, even in exchange for lasting peace and ending the dispute over Jerusalem, a new poll suggests. According to the poll, most Israeli Jews do not believe territorial concessions in Jerusalem would bring peace. The poll, performed at the request of the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies, also reveals that 89 percent of Israeli Jews are unwilling to give up the Temple Mount for a similar arrangement. Forty-three percent of participants said they were opposed to any form of concession in Jerusalem for real peace and the termination of the dispute. In the previous survey on the matter, only 37 percent of the participants were opposed to all forms of territorial concession in Jerusalem...

The Israelis have it right because if you give the Palestinians and inch they’ll want the whole mile and there’ll be no peace until they get it. The only way the Palestinians will make peace is if Israel is removed from the map.

It’s time for Israel to solidify full control over Gaza, the Golan Heights, the Negev, the border east to the Jordan river, and Jerusalem. Once done, the Israeli authorities should round up and expel all Muslims across the border into Egypt, Jordan, or Syria. A 50 foot high wall should subsequently be built around the entire country. It’s high time to face the fact that Islam is ompletely antithetical to Judaism or Christianity, cannot (and will not) coexist with either, and so must be cut out.

The logical follow-on is to remove Muslims from Western countries and return them to their countries of origin. Anne Coulter’s recommendation of subsequently invading these (Muslim) countries, killing their leaders, and converting the rest to Christianity would then be good counsel to consider.

Of course, many will say the foregoing is extremist, goes too far, is not democratic, or whatever. I would invite comments by those people who condemn my proposal to outline clearly and exactly what is the present agenda of the Muslim ummah in Israel and the West.

"Ninety-six percent of Israeli Jews are against Israel relinquishing the Western Wall, even in exchange for lasting peace...

Oh, yeah, the Jews are at fault for the continuing conflict. If only they'd give up a little land for peace, we could all roll over and go back to sleep.

Ah, I think the Israelis have finally gotten smart and they simply do not believe in "Land for Peace". They've been down this path since the early 90's and they got unprecendented amounts of terror. They also got bombarded with thousands of rockets during the Hizballah War (Part I).

They've watched Syria and Iran re-arm Hizballah under the blind eyes of the UN (again).

So, asking a dumb*ss question like this and expecting anything else but total rejection is stupid.

Things to do in the War on Terror that the Bushies haven't done.

One, stand up for Christians and other religious minorities in Muslim majority countries. Copts in Egypt, Christians in Pakistan, Indonesia and Iraq are especially under pressure. Christians in Turkey are getting murdered left and right now.

Two, read the Saudi Arabian Royal Family the riot act. They are to stop sending billions and billions to fund Islam around the world, spend their money at home.

Three, make an issue of blasphemy laws in Muslim countries and how they violate human rights and are simply used attack non-Muslims.

In the US, like we had during the Cold War, if the entrant was at any time a member of the Communist Party or desired the overthrown of the US Government, add questions on the Muslim entrants beliefs on Jihad and bringing Sharia Law to the US. They will lie, but this gives us an easy way to deport activist Muslims and take away their US Citizenship.

Ninety-six percent of Israeli Jews are against Israel relinquishing the Western Wall because they are intelligent enough to realize that Muslim promises of peace are worthless, and that once the Muslims have the Wall, there will be new demands

Finally, after these many years of terror attacks, of the murders, the sending of children to murder children, the lies, the stealing of aid money, in short, the same old same old, 96% of Israelis understand that the minimum Arab position is that all Jews die. While it is difficult to understand what took them so long to figure it out, it is nearly impossible to understand the naivete of the other 4%.

BTW, I long for only 4% of the US population to be mindless, appeasing, traitorous morons. If we had that kind of consensus, we’d have no problems with the Islamists or any other enemy.

Actually, you're spot-on, pal. We're gonna have to kill vast quantities of muzzies anyway, so we might as well start in Israel.

When we have to confront them here in the USA, most people are gonna be DAMNED surprised just how many of the bastards have filled their mosques with weaponry here!

It might be prudent to check-out just how close to each of us they've located themselves. Re-con can save lives ............... FRegards

The only way the Palestians will make peace is if Israel is removed from the map.
