The Times of Israel ^ | August 22, 2012 | Unattributed

Posted on 08/23/2012 5:46:01 PM PDT by GiovannaNicoletta

The Republican Party’s platform is expected to include support for a two-state solution in the Middle East.

The platform committee, meeting in Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday, rejected three amendments that would have removed language supportive of a two-state solution, according to a delegate who put forward two of the amendments.

So what will God field, Russian, European, or American weapons systems? Logistics, they rule the modern battlefield.

Why don`t we just stop trying to be the world policeman and let them resolve their own problems. They have cash, they BUY weapons, with THEIR own money. NO MORE AID (freebies) to ANYBODY. You want it, get a job and buy it, here and abroad!And drill, baby, drill, that way they can use their oil for enemas, or the Euro-weenies can fight for it.

Good! Then we can expect Romney to reverse his support of the dividing of God’s land in the Republican platform, right?

TEN MAJOR EVENTS
(Relating to Israel’s Covenant Land) 1. October 30,
1991: The Perfect Storm—As President George H. W. Bush
is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider
“land for peace” in Israel’s Middle East role, the
“perfect storm” develops in the North Atlantic,
creating the largest waves ever recorded in that
region. The storm travels 1000 miles from “east to
west” instead of the normal “west to east” pattern and
crashes into the New England Coast. Thirty-five foot
waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President
Bush.

2. August 23, 1992: Hurricane Andrew—When the Madrid
Conference moves to Washington DC and the peace talks
resume, Hurricane Andrew, the worst natural disaster
ever to hit America, comes ashore and produces an
estimated $30 billion in damage and leaving 180,000
homeless in Florida.

3. January 16, 1994: Northridge Earthquake—President
Bill Clinton meets with Syria’s President Hafez
el-Assad in Geneva. They talk about a peace agreement
with Israel that includes giving up the Golan Heights.
Within 24 hours, a powerful 6.9 earthquake rocks
Southern California, This quake, centered in
Northridge, becomes the second most destructive
natural disaster to hit the United States, behind
Hurricane Andrew,

4. January 21, 1998: Lewinsky Scandal—Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President
Clinton at the White House and is coldly received.
Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
refuse to have lunch with him. Shortly afterwards on
that day, the Monica Lewinsky scandal breaks into the
mass media and begins to occupy a major portion of
Clinton’s time.

5. September 28, 1998: Hurricane George—As Secretary
of State Albright works on the final details of an
agreement in which Israel would give up 13 percent of
Yesha (Judah and Samaria), Hurricane George slams into
the United States Gulf Coast with 110 mph winds and
gusts up to 175 mph. The hurricane hits the coast and
stalled. On September 28, Clinton meets with Yasser
Arafat and Netanyahu at the White House to finalize
this land deal. Later, Arafat addresses the United
Nations about declaring an independent Palestinian
state by May 1999, as Hurricane George pounds the Gulf
Coast, causing $1 billion in damage. At the exact time
that Arafat departs the country, the storm begins to
dissipate.

6. October 15-22, 1998: Texas Flooded—On October 15,
1998, Arafat and Netanyahu meet at the Wye River
Plantation in Maryland. The talks are scheduled to
last five days with the focus on Israel giving up 13
percent of Yesha. The talks are extended and conclude
on October 23. On October 17, awesome rains and
tornadoes hit southern Texas. The San Antonio area is
deluged with rain. The rain and flooding in Texas
continue until October 22 and then subside. The floods
ravage 25 percent of Texas and leave over one billion
dollars in damage. On October 21, Clinton declares
this section of Texas a major disaster area.

7. November 30, 1998: Market Capitalization
Evaporates—Arafat comes to Washington again to meet
with President Clinton to raise money for a
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. A
total of 42 other nations were represented in
Washington. All the nations agreed to give Arafat $3
billion in aid. Clinton promised $400 million, and the
European nations $1.7 billion. On the same day, the
Dow Jones average drops 216 points, and on December 1,
the European Market had its third worst day in
history. Hundreds of billions of market capitalization
were wiped out in the U.S. and Europe.

8. December 12, 1998: Clinton is Impeached—As Clinton
lands in the Palestinian-controlled section of Israel
to discuss the “land for peace” process, the House of
Representatives votes four articles of impeachment
against him.

9. May 3, 1999: The Powerful Super Tornado—On the day
that Yasser Arafat is scheduled to declare a
Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital, the
most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the
United States sweeps across Oklahoma and Kansas. The
winds are clocked at 316 mph the fastest wind speed
ever recorded. The declaration is postponed to
December 1999 at the request of President Clinton,
whose letter to Arafat encourages him in his
“aspirations for his own land.” He also writes that
the Palestinians have a right to “determine their own
future on their own land” and that they deserve to
“live free, today, tomorrow and forever.”

10. Week of October 11: Hurricane, Earthquake and Dow
Collapse—As Jewish settlers in 15 West Bank (Israel)
settlements are evicted from the covenant land in
Israel, the Dow-Jones financial averages lose 5.7
percent in the worst week since October 1989. On
October 15 the Dow lost 266 points, and a hurricane
slams into North Carolina. On the next morning,
October 16, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks the
southwest in the fifth most powerful earthquake in
20th Century. The earthquake was centered in the
California desert and did little damage but was felt

The two state solution has been in the GOP platform for over a decade. There is nothing new here.

Shhhhhh!! You're injecting reason!

And, in case some think you're pulling a fast one, here's the language from the 2008 party platform (bold is mine):

Israel

Israel is a vigorous democracy, unique in the Middle East. We reaffirm America's commitment to Israel's security and will ensure that Israel maintains a qualitative edge in military technology over any potential adversaries. Israel must have secure, defensible borders and we support its right to exist as a Jewish state able to defend itself against homicide bombings, rocket and mortar fire, and other attacks against its people. We support the vision of two democratic states living in peace and security: Israel, with Jerusalem as its capital, and Palestine. For that to become a reality, the Palestinian people must support leaders who reject terror, embrace the institutions and ethos of democracy, and respect the rule of law. We call on Arab governments throughout the region to help advance that goal. We support Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel and moving the American embassy to that undivided capital of Israel.

The U.S. seeks a comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East, negotiated between the parties themselves, without the imposition of an artificial timetable, and without the demand that Israel deal with entities which continue to pledge her destruction. At the heart of any peace process must be a mutual commitment to resolve all issues through negotiation. Part of that process must be a just, fair, and realistic framework for dealing with the Palestinian refugee issue. Like all other elements in a meaningful agreement, this matter can be settled only on the basis of mutually agreed changes that reflect today's realities as well as tomorrow's hopes.

And a quote from 2004 (Acrobat PDF):

We support President Bush’s vision of two states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security. However, as he observed in his remarks of June 24, 2002, for such a vision to become a reality, Palestinians need a new leadership, not compromised by terror. Like all other people, Palestinians deserve a government that serves their interests and listens to their voices. If Palestinians embrace democracy and the rule of law, confront corruption, and firmly reject terror, they can count on American support for the creation of a Palestinian state. The Bush Administration has been clear about the obligations of Arab nations in achieving peace in the Middle East.

Yes. I had gone back and looked myself. What I don’t see now, and it might be because I did not see a full copy of this year’s, was the support of Jerusalem as the capital. It might be there.

I always wanted to go down into the valley of Jehoshaphat!

...and we had such a good thing going with, Ryan.

There are no such thing as “Palestinians”. The simple fact that you would use the term makes me wonder what your motive is.

Agreed. There has been a two state solution since the 40's. It is called Israel and Jordan.

Money given to Israel is not foreign aid. It is a fee for their being a reliable forward staging base in a region otherwise totally hostile to us.

I am so thankful for the Freeper who posts the Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem Scriptures every morning. Israel needs our prayers. God commands us to pray for Israel.

Not just no but HELL NO!

Endorsing a two-state solution rewards TERRORISM. I'd say I can't believe the Republican Party is being this stupid, but it is nicknamed "The Stupid Party" for a reason.....

Thank you so much for that stars & stripes forever!

God says what He means and means what He says. There is no exemption for anyone in Genesis 12:3, and He will, as He has shown time and time again, curse those who curse His people.

As, I'm afraid, Florida is about to find out thanks to the Republican party making a choice to stand with those who will divide God's land.

Every nation who participates in dividing God's land will be judged.

The conviction has already been issued; and the consequences and judgment will follow.

We are now free of the delusion that the Republican party stands for Christianity and the Scriptures.

It's not that I believe that the Republican Party stands for Christianity, it's that I was hoping a Republican victory would buy us a little time.

But this stance now puts a GOP victory in question, as I believed--alternately--that God would have given a victory to 'us' were 'we' to stand for Him. But now--in His eyes--there is no differnce between the '2' so He will will simply, "use what He already has."
Brace for impact!

There is no so-called ‘palestine’, but for the Roman appellation. Nor are there any ‘palestinians’ other than various conglomerations of predominantly islamist arabs who should be killed en masse as they themselves call for their martyrdom, but which Israel, for whatever God forsaken reason, has decided it must put up with.
