WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT THE PALESTINIANS CAN'T HAVE A COUNTRY? I INSIST ON ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST IN PEACE AND FREEDOM, UNDISTURBED - - - BUT WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT A COMPROMISE IN TERMS OF LAND CAN'T BE ATTEMPTED IN ORDER TO TRY TO ACHIEVE THAT PEACE?

In my opinion, official representatives of Israel should have said to us from the beginning, starting right after the disaster in New York, “President Bush, we’ll support you in any way we can. Just let us know how we can help you.”

They did, liar. Not only did they offer to help THEN, but they warned the US before it happened and provided MOST of the intelligence to root these bastards out. How DARE you????
Foolish man. Blinded by hatred is one thing. Insufferably propagandizing a terrorist act of war because of your personal animosity is something else entirely.
You know George Mitchell. Would you trust him as far as you could throw him? Arafat? The butcher of Munich, murderer of many Americans, and a supporter of those who also murder Americans who have nothing to do with anything in Israel whatsoever? Those are people you would trust? Colin Powell who took credit for a war that General Shwartzkopf prosecuted, trying to be a diplomat who is as much a liability to Bush as Peres is to Sharon, as Bill Clinton was to Netanyahu? You don't think the Israelis couldn't see the bullseye they were being thrust into? Or is that what makes you so angry...that Israel was smart enough to protest before the deed was completed?
Or would you rather they had looked downward as their Muslim executioners doomed them? Again. And when they come for you and there is no Israel, who will you blame? Is it so unfathomable to you that there is actual evil going on here that has nothing to do with Israel except that Israel is a convenient scapegoat for the moment?

Lot of misdirection in the rhetoric coming out of Washington.
A word to the wise...and mums the word.

Just watch.

The strategy is brilliant.

That's exactly what they did.

They demanded that we support them after our people got blown up!

When did they do that? What support did they ask for? Not only were they among the first countries to offer support (they had a plane full of search and rescue people in the air here within hours after the attack), they provide us with intelligence reports and moral support. In return, we said we favored a state for those who actively seek to destroy them. What exactly did they ask for after the attack?

Glad to know that I can still come to Free Republic to find a steaming hot vainglorious load of pathetic, hyperbolic, baseless rhetorical propeganda.

She hated me because I am a Gentile and because I married into her family.

Reading your anti Israel-pro Arab screed, I suspect Shirley disliked you because the scent of an anti semite surrounds you. You're obvious and oblivious.

If the USA turns its back on Israel it is doomed. I know President Bush reads his Bible and knows what God says about his chosen people and about what happens to nations who bless Israel.... and what happens to those who curse Israel.

This shows your lack of understanding. Read Genisis 48:8 - 22 and understand.

You'll find the land they were alloted in Joshua 15. They have taken to much. They can't lay a valid claim to much of present day Israel.

You don't seem to know who the real Israel is. It is not the Jews.

Then he blessed Joseph and said,
"May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Issac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm -may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Issac, and may they increase greatly upon the earth."

Thats Israel talking there giving his name to Joseph's sons, not to Judah. Find Joseph's offspring and there is Israel. It is not the Jews.

back in those naive days of mine that my wife’s family were racist Zionists who hated everyone but Jews

1) they are among the most racist people on earth; 2) they don’t give a damn about the United States except for how they can use us and get money from us; 3) they would kill every Arab on earth if they could get away with it; and 4) they will sure as hell bomb the United States if they ever felt that would help them to survive.

I don’t dislike Jews at all

My best friend is Jewish, but he’s not a Zionist

“G-d” gives them permission to kill kids and steal people’s property

Fred, this post of yours if possibly the most confused and revolting stuff I've ever seen here. Why don't you ask the mod to remove it?

The Jews owned that land thousands of years before the religion of Islam was even born, and they have it now.

That’s nonsense and Zionist propaganda. I see Arabs living in old stone houses that the Israelis go in and throw out, and then they blow up their homes and build Israeli apartment buildings on that property. If you think God want’s that, you’re crazy.

What more justification do they need.

How about a legal deed and a good title search going back 5,000 years?

Oh, and incidentally, do you think we Americans should give back our land to the Indians?

The land I live on was bought by one of my relatives from a Mexican, who bought it from an Anglo, who bought it from an Indian. Most private land in America was either uninhabited or bought from Indians, and many thousands of European-Americans intermarried with Indians in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries. I’m part Cherokee myself. I didn’t get my land by murdering kids who were throwing rocks and by blowing up goat herder’s homes.

No personal attacks please. It’s rude and uncivilized.

because the scent of an anti semite surrounds you.

That’s absurd. You are trying to spread typical Zionist propaganda, which also happens to be Hollywood and New York media propaganda. “Zionists can do no wrong. It’s ok for Zionists to be racists. It’s ok for Zionists to kill kids in the name of ‘G-d’. Israel is ‘G-d’s chosen fascist nation’. Anyone who says anything against Israel is an anti-Semite.”

Zionists have been peddling that propaganda to us via the media for the past 50 years, even after we saved their butts in Europe and gave them sanctuary here in the United States. They are ungrateful racists who would destroy my country if they think it would help theirs. I’ve lived among these people and I know how they think. There are plenty of non-Zionist Jews in America, and I support them 100%. They are Americans just like me.

Incidentally, every American Zionist I know personally is an American first and an Israeli second.

That’s nonsense. I’ve asked several of them right here, which they would support first, America or Israel, and they won’t say. That’s enough of an answer for me. They are an egotistical group of racists who don’t care about anyone but themselves, and they will destroy my country if they think it’s necessary.

Afghanistan would actually be the perfect locale.

Are you crazy? Why round up people from their own homes, that have been in their families for generations, which they have a legal deed too, and deport them to Afghanistan? Do you suggest we use cattle cars for the long trip?

Israel cannot pretend that terror will go away if they compromise with evil and listen to the US as they are attacked repeatedly.

its not a case of giving ppl a state that were misplaced. Its a case of destroying the Jews and their homeland. They do not want the Jews to live.....PERIOD. Why should Sharon pretend that a Pallie State would solve the problem? That is not the problem. HATE is the problem.

Like us, the Jews are trying to target the evil-doers and destroy the hate.

The Israel of today is not the “nation of Israel” of Old Testament times.

That doesn't change a blasted thing. All that matters is that the Jews have just as much right to exist as the Palestinians claim to have. Bitch and moan all you like about how the British shouldn't have set up Israel in the first place, etc etc. Whats done is done. At least the Israeli's are the most civilized people in the Middle East, the only Democracy, a people who have carved out and beutified an otherwise ugly strip of land. What have the Pallys done lately, other than sing when our women and children die horribly, and create replicas of sites they suicide bomb....

And if you think this makes me a Zionest, then you strike me as an apologist for the Palestinians....
