That is an excellent analogy.
American Jews cannot leave the Democrat party no matter how much the Democrat party smacks them around. People like David Harris will always look away and mutter, "It's nothing. I fell down the steps."
Israel is surrounded by massively large Arab states. If they cared so much for the poor Palestinians and peace one of them should carve out a section and just give it to them.
When 0bama - those behind him, really - order our military to take action against Israel to prevent them from defending themselves, then we’ll find out what sort of country we’re going to have.
I stand with Israel - and against the monsters who wish to destroy it.
Zactly
O must have given two speeches because the Democrat aren’t talking about the one I heard.
That is the energy he has tapped into. Being a weak little clown, he has no understanding of what his words really mean.
He and his handlers will be completely surprised that - they just aren’t welcome here.
Just as we can’t understand his “thinking” - he can’t understand ours.
Even though that is what he flatly said with no caveats whatsoever. LOL
Israel in a Post-American Era...the interim Egyptian regime has midwifed a unity government of Fatah and Hamas... Abbas, the Palestinian leader who had looked to President Obama to bring a halt to new Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and preside over peace talks, appears to have given up on the Americans... to seek recognition of an independent Palestine by vote of the U.N. General Assembly... the overwhelming majority, including many of America's allies, will vote to recognize Palestine and seat it in the General Assembly, where it can make demands on Israel, backed by U.N. sanctions, to terminate its occupation and vacate its national territory... resolution will set as the borders of Palestine those that existed between 1948 and 1967... If Obama opposes the U.N. resolution, we and Israel will stand virtually alone... To Israel's north is Hezbollah... To the south is Gaza, dominated by Hamas... To the east is the West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority appears to have given up on U.S.-sponsored peace talks. Beyond lies Jordan, whose King Abdullah rules over millions of Palestinians... Sunday on the 63rd anniversary of Israel's independence and the Palestinian "nakba," or "catastrophe," where 700,000 fled or were driven into exile... Palestinian protesters approached the fence separating Lebanon and Israel and climbed the fence on the Israeli-occupied Golan heights to come and reclaim Palestinian lands... across Europe what Israel did to these protesters seemed exactly what the king of Bahrain and the president of Yemen had done to theirs...

It is worse than equating:
But in the specific case Obama cites — that of Izzedin Abuelaish on January 16, 2009 — there is strong reason to believe that the three girls were killed because of Hamas, that is Palestinian, actions.

Research reference bump. The Palestinian question has always eluded me. Honestly asking - how can there be a Palestinian region without Palestinians? History links?
What are the Palestinians and why doesn’t any nation want them? Jordan, Syria booted them as did Egypt ... right?
