Congressman who feared Guam could capsize compares Jewish settlers to 'termites'

[andreisdaman]

Actually they have turned back invaders and in the process taken some land.

If the aggressors hadn't been aggressive, they wouldn't have lost that land.

invaders??...the Palestinians are hardly invaders.....they are a people who have been stepped on by not only Israel but heir so-called arab "brothers"....they deserve a homeland just like every one else and just as the Jews themselves did when they were in the same predicament with Hitler

Did you know that if a Palestinian person wants to become Israeli, they only have to request it. Thereby having the "land" they want in the first place?

Did you know they are immediately granted citizenship if requested.

It's easier for a Palestinian to get citizenship in Israel than Mexicans in the US?

Did you also know that they had a home land. They just didn't want it... because they wanted Jerusalem. This isn't about "land", it's about one damn city really.

A city which was given, according to all governments that controlled the area, freely, after WW2. That's how it works.

They had land, they decided it wasn't the land they wanted, and they tried to take it from Israel, Israel turned them back and in the process took more land to protect their borders. It's happened numerous times in the past century.

A quick look at the history will show you.

Its not as clar cut as you try to make it...although many people hold your opinion......the fact is the Palestinians were driven off many of their lands which is why they want the right of return.....My point is that as the Israelis delay delay delay, the Palestinians become even more radicalized and making a deal with them grows tougher....They will one day be able to conquer Israel simply through the sheer weight of their population growth which is one of the largest on earth....Israel cannot call itself a democracy while subjugating the palestinians and taking their bit by bit.....even many Israeli politicians in teh Labor Party hold that view

Obama told Netanyahu this and told him to begin making a deal which is what led to the rift between them

The world at large gave the Israelis that land.

At the time the land was under British rule. It had happened Due to the Ottoman Empire's collapse and WW1. After that, the British who rightly ruled that land gave it up.

This also included giving land to Jordan and others.

So no, they weren't driven off their land.

This is the way of the world.

Are you willing to give back the US to the Natives? How about New England to Germany or the Dutch? Want to give Florida back to the Spanish? 1/2 of the country back to the French?

That's not how the world works.

Can you please tell me what value a stone aged Sharia Law based Theocracy, bent on denying basic rights to anyone who is not fundamental Muslim, brings to the world and to their citizens?

Why would this be good for them or for the world?  Thanks.

I whole-heartedly agree with your point...but the Palestinians aren't ruled by Sharia Law.....the West Bank Palestinians had a good track record of working with Israel for years......the Gazans are another matter.....but Israel just cannot keep being in a perpetual war with the palestinians...peace has to be made somehow...

The Basic law, established in 2002, is the proposed constitution of a future Palestinian state.[3] According to one report, "Palestinians had been requesting that the law be signed into effect since 1997, in order to formally guarantee a modicum of basic rights."[3] It was enacted by the PLC (the Legislature of PNA) and signed by Yasser Arafat.[3][4] It was amended on March 19, 2003 "to allow the creation of the Prime Minister Position in the Palestinian National Authority...."[5]

The Basic Law is based loosely on Shari'a:

    According to Article 4:

        Islam is the official religion in Palestine. Respect and sanctity of all other heavenly religions shall be maintained.
        The principles of Islamic Shari'a shall be the main source of legislation.
        Arabic shall be the official language.
        — Mideastweb.org [3]

The Basic Law is introduced with "In The Name of God, The Merciful, The Compassionate,"[5] as are most documents in Islamic countries.[citation needed]


And then there is this:

Pew poll: Palestinians favor suicide bombings, sharia law

A new global survey of Muslims by the Pew Research Center has found that Palestinian Arab Muslims polled the highest in favor of suicide bombings as a justifiable means “to defend Islam.”

The poll also found that 89 percent of Palestinian Muslims favored sharia becoming “the official law of the land.”


The survey involved more than 38,000 face-to-face interviews in 80-plus languages with Muslims across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Pew reports the findings show that Muslims “tend to be most comfortable with using sharia in the domestic sphere, to settle family or property disputes.”

Why would you support a Theocratic dictatorship who thinks suicide bombing is a justified way to "protect Islam".

Why would anyone in their right mind support anything Palestine?     Makes no fucking sense and anyone who does so is basically giving the green light to Islamofacism.

IO really couldn't care less about those fucks........what I care about is Israel being a true democracy and not losing itself and becoming a fascist state...also I'm tired of giving them $4 billion a year in military aid......they get more money from us than anyone

They do, but without Israel in the region, that area would be much worse.

According to most foreign policy types anyway.

Agreed, but then they constantly slap us in the face while accepting our money with an open palm..when asked to do certain things to promote peace or to make it easier for us to defend them on the world stage,  such as to stop seizing Palestinian lands and building more settlements....they then do the opposite....and when we complain they then try to make it as if we are against them in some way..which is patently false

I'm sorry but when you are worried that too many people on an island might capsize it, no one with an IQ over 70 should ever give a crap what you say in the future.
