Bush: 'We are committed to the Road Map'
By THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFF
President George W. Bush said Tuesday that the US and Britain "are committed to the Road Map toward peace."
Speaking at a joint news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland, Bush added: "Now this process must be carried forward."
Moments earlier Blair also reaffirmed Britain's commitment to the plan, which calls for achieving Palestinian statehood by 2005.
"It's a hopeful time. I believe we can make progress," Bush said.
Bush further said he is pleased with the designated Palestinian premier Mahmoud Abbas.
Do you not follow the events in the Middle East, because you are posting like you don't have a clue.
The PA is well armed and well-allied.
Israel has no intention of starting a war... and I certainly don't advocate that they do.
I'm was just suggesting by my previous post that the Palestinians aren't just lambs to the slaughter that you've been portraying them in your posts.
I must have missed the news about the Palestinians acquring tanks, artillery pieces, fighter jets, naval ships, and nuclear weaponry.
I can imagine the outcry if someone described hypocritcal self-promotion and said "that's what Jews generally do."
I'm astonished to read the disgusting drivel here calling the expulsion of millions of people from their homes a "humane" and "just" solution. You folks are a bunch of Nazis and Communists! Hitler and Stalin, the worlds foremost experts on this behavior, would have been proud!
Every human has a right to their own home, and to live where they were born. How difficult is that to understand.
Why is it an atrocity to resettle 3 million people, currently living in abject squalor, amongst other people with whom they share a common language, religion and heritage, not to mention millions of square miles of undeveloped prime real estate?
Well, in absence of any evidence of my calling for the expulsion of 3 million people from anywhere, Ill give the disgusting drivel prize to your compaing me to Hitler and Stalin, though I realize its not drivel, just run of the mill, cookie cutter propaganda. Save the bandwidth of a response, Im not sure I have time to respond to ill informed idiots today, maybe later or tomorrow, but carton does a pretty good job of exposing your misrepresentations..
Adios, Yasser!
In the words of someone another poster would refer to as a Stalin or Hitler, in rejection of the concept of a "right of return". And this guy didnt even offer compensation!
Your ministers require that we should receive again into our bosom those who have been our bitterest enemies and restore their properties who have destroyed ours: and this while the wounds they have given us are still bleeding!
The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, (NY: The Macmillan Company, 1905), p. 626.
"My solution is that Israel go to war against unarmed civilians in Gaza and the West Bank and either expel them or kill them if they fail to leave immediately for Egypt or Jordan upon Israel's request."
There is only one madman who carried out a comparable policy to this - Stalin, who forcibly expelled and murdered millions of people within Russia, and then within the Baltic States, Poland, and Germany once he got the chance to occupy them with his army.Did you hear that on Al Jazeera?
Pick a boundary, any boundary, where the Jews have traded land for peace with the "palestinians" (a fictitious "people" whose identity rests on Historical lies) and have not been attacked by their peace partners. Why should Israel recognize past treaties that the "palestinians" routinely and murderously ignore?
Again, Historically inaccurate. In response to their war of aggession under Hitler, the Germans gave up part of their territory to Poland; that's the model. It's long past time the Arabs paid that price for their repeated wars of agression against Israel, and their obvious goal of genocide.
Giving the Arabs ever more Israeli land rewards their terror, and encourages more of the same.
These so-called "palestinians" are largely the descendents of Historically recent immigrants, both legal and illegal, from surrounding Arab countries.
More History...
Palestine, a Land virtually laid waste with little population
Accepting refugees was never the crux of the idea, in fact one of the stated benefits to Jordan was the dilution of it's existing palestinian population. I don't think it's under consideration.
Those are "irrelevant," no doubt, as was Jewish surrender of 78% of the Transjordan to pacify Arab atrocities in the 1920s, and create a "palestinian homeland."
What sort of state do you have in mind? A Palestinian "state" that controls it's own borders and can bring in any weapons it wants? You really think that's a solution? I see it as a prescription for a greater Jihad. Far better to have things stay the way they are.
Saudi Arabia is a desert. 25 years ago it's population was 6 million. Yet it's population is now 25 million. Do the math clownski. Arab nations could certainly accommodate the Palestinians if they were driven out. Not that I advocate it at this time.
