And Molenir:

If not, then why should Israel?

Simple: "israel" is built on stolen Palestinian land. Before 1949 there WAS no israel. Most countries are border-defined countries with an armed force. "israel" is an armed force with ever extending borders, never clearly defined, in violation of a total of 272…

The obviously unchecked 1st line reads:

"has shined a spotlight on the U.S. failure to rein in Israeli settlement ambitions..."

The whole article can be simply summed up in one sentence: "The far right-wing government of Binyamin Netanyahu in Israel majorly sandbagged Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, demonstrating once…

I'll put myself through extra screening if it means the authorities have a better chance to detect and track suspected sociopaths.

Proves my point: Giving up freedoms for supposed security, Americans now deserve neither, to paraphrase Ben Franklin.

Well, well well, israeli news sources (Haaretz, JPost and the like) are giving Bibi's reaction to Biden's comments. It amounts to "Terribly sorry you feel that way, old chap, so P.F.O. if you don't mind! We're building, like it or not. (Oh! Keep the cheques coming, old boy! There's a…

That's another way of saying he'll snoop on your e-mails, finances and medical records, as well as tap your phones without warrant. Bush-Redux!

It's getting so long and cumbersome that anyone who ever, even once, looked at a photo of Osama bin Laden will be added to it. Ridiculous!

Mr Netanyahu repeated an Israeli demand that the Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state. They have rejected that.

Firstly, the terms of establishment of israel clearly indicate that it is to be a secular entity, not a Jewish state. Bibi is therefore in violation of that term of establishment.…

No point in talking when it's in bad faith. israel is stalling, building more (internationally recognized as illegal) settlements, and thumbing its nose at the world. It will still collect its US$7-17 billion annually though. According to Lieberman the foreign minister, israel "should be seen as an angry dog, too…
