UNITED NATIONS —

The United Nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to recognize a Palestinian state, a long-sought victory for the Palestinians but an embarrassing diplomatic defeat for the United States.

now all they need is some land that actually belongs to them and it certainly isn't in Israel.

Ummm... doesn’t a “state” require a set of defined borders for that “state”???

Where are these borders defined as “Palestine”?

Now every Jewish state in the region will attack them from three sides, swearing to wipe them out. They’ll invite Jewish residents of this new “state” to leave until the slaughter is done. No, wait. That’s what they did to us, only it didn’t work. We’re still here. Uh...also, there are no other Jewish states. Only the one. What else is wrong — hey, I’m working on it!—we just agreed to a really stupid cease fire agreement, and try hard not to hit the little kiddies the Palis keep hiding behind, so we’re not attacking anyone to annihilate them anytime soon.

This ought to make the “true conservatives” over at “Original Dissent” really happy. (Are they still around?)

Maybe Israel should have immediately recognized the
state of Palestine as being within the boundries of
Gaza and stated that any further rocket attacks would
result in a state of war between Israel and gaza.

I’m at loose ends, what else can happen??

Tired of the world putting the brakes on Israel
when they attempt to muzzle the mad dogs of hamas
and the PA.

Only the true conservatives agree with this statement, and obviously we are no longer in control.

I do believe we are in the mist of a war being waged between good and evil in heaven right now. It has been prophesied in the Bible that these things will come to past in the end times and I believe you and I are living in those last days.

When does the UN recognize Gaza as a separate Hamas state?
When does the UN recognize the drug cartels as separate states?

There is no Palestinian language. There is no Palestinian culture. There is no Palestinian capital. There has never been a country named Palestine.

Actually, you can take millitary action against a “state” — If you are just blowing away an area where the hominids that live in it grunt in the same manner, you are committing genocide, which is an atrocity...

They could move it to Ghazat as a show of solidarity. Got a three-star hotel there, bigs swimming pool, and lots of perks. It’s only the people on the other side of the tracks who are starving because of the Israeli blockade./sarc on this last sentence.

But then it would be nothing but a hollow shell, full of venal nitwits hell bent to destroy anything positive in the world. Oh, wait. It already is.

‘The final Jihad is in the works.’

I know. We were at an ACT! For America chapter meeting last night.
While this UN subject wasn’t addressed, the ‘Islam Experts’ there (including a former Muslim) have said the most shocking stuff about Islam in the U.S.

I strongly suggest you find a chapter in your area - we travel 30 minutes to one. Would eagerly go further.

So, if the state of Palestine attacks Israel, can Israel unleash the dogs of hell on the Palestinians?

He's coming back soon! Amen! And not as the suffering servant this time. King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Joel 3:1-2

God Judges the Nations

“For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land"....

How did it come to the point where the Arab world can draw more support for its cause than we can for ours? We’re down to a single European country, Canada, Panama, and a couple of bankrupt islands. Is this truly it? One would have thought we would use some of our foreign aid influence in Africa. President Obama (and Susan Rice) are miserable failures.
