In other words, they have every intention to steal more Palestinian land after the 90 days are up.
They always mention that it is "claimed by both sides" as if they were both equally entitled to it. But it belongs to the Palestinians according to international law, the World Court of Justice, and practically the entire world. The Israelis are in no way entitled to any of it, they have been told since 1967 to get out, and they should get out, not steal more of it.

A few years ago, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said: "The whole world is demanding that Israel withdraw [from occupied Palestinian territories]. I don't think the whole world ... can be wrong."
In other words, if someone has blinders on, it’s you! Israel should not use the UN to legitimize its “creation” and then spit in the UN’s face when they demand that they respect the laws of nations.

We are discussing Israel, and how they have stolen land by force with the help of the US. The whole world is saying the land belongs to the Palestinians and is telling Israel to give the land back (pre-1967 border). But not only is Israel not getting well-deserved sanctions, they continue to receive massive financial and military aid and now Obama wants to give them more aid in exchange for Israel slowing down their land theft for a few months.

Why can't anyone provide a valid reason why Israelis should be allowed to continue to illegally occupy other people's land, instead of attacking the messenger using deception.

What the US should do is tell Israel to move to its pre-1967 border and start obeying international law and principles of common human decency or else they will stop all financial and military aid. That is what the US SHOULD do, but they won't because of AIPAC and the power of the corporations (MIC) that are making money from death.

Unilateral? You make it sound like they gave up so much. They simply left land that they had been illegally occupying. But they didn't really withdraw, they never gave up control of Gaza.
As for the ceasefire they had negotiated with the Palestinians, the Israelis were supposed to let in a certain amount of goods into Gaza. The Gazans followed their end of the deal, but the Israelis never followed theirs, only letting a tiny fraction of the agreed goods to enter Gaza. The ceasefire was then broken by Israel when they killed a number of Gazans, eventually leading to about 1400 dead Gazans, many of them women and children.
No, the Palestinians only want what is historically and legally theirs, and which the entire world agrees is theirs. The Israelis just want more and more of the land that never belonged to them and to which they are in no way entitled to.
No, the right of refugees to return to land that belongs to them and from which they were brutally and illegally evicted from by terror is a basic right. Not only is it practical, its the only solution.

It belongs to them, according to international law and the entire world.
Palestine was doing fine until the zionists messed it up. It is not the Palestinians who are messing things up. Get a clue, indeed.

I agree somewhat with goodDonkey. But even the 1947 partition plan seems like it was designed to split the Palestinians. I think the best solution would be a one-state solution, with the right of return and everyone having equal rights.
Anyway, Israel is going down fast. If they do not settle this quickly, they will lose it all.

I would not expect the Israeli government to do anything against it, unless the organs were taken from their citizens. But I would expect other governments to do something about it.

Iraq, Afghanistan, and next Iran. And Israel attacking Gaza and Hezbollah. So you think its just a few crazy individuals who are behind these unwarranted attacks?

I agree. But I think it is not because they do not express themselves or they do not exist, instead it is because their moderate or peaceful views are not put on air.
The MSM is always beating the war drums. Their board members are also board members in the MIC, so the last thing they want is peace. They don't want to put on the air a Muslim that will disrupt their propaganda campaign.

The MSM only show us the Muslims, real or not, who appear violent. The do not show us the many decent ones, that is part of the "game" they play.

No, people have abused religion to justify violence. The religion itself does not justify it.
Read the New Testament, and you'll see that it teaches things like turning the other cheek, and being a good samaritan.
Read the Old Testament, and you'll see that it... describes very deceptive people...
You mean people like Adam Pearlman (grandson of an ADL board member) and Joseph Cohen?

thetruthhurts,
Sorry but you are incorrect. There are plenty of videos on the net showing press releases and news updates announcing it. Why would the NYPD make something like this up?

If all people were capable of critical thinking and could distinguish between right and wrong, the world would indeed be better off without religions, all of them.
However, I strongly believe that the worst crimes committed in the name of religion are in fact committed by bad people who PRETEND to belong to a particular religion. I am convinced that Al-Qaida is not lead by Muslims.

thetruthhurts,
So, you do not believe the NYPD when they say they stopped a van packed with explosives, enough to cause a lot of damage? Why would they make it up?

In fact, Muslims are blamed for planting bombs every day, all over the world, under many different circumstances, against all types of people. On 9/11, a van packed with explosives and others testing positive for explosives were stopped by police, they were not Muslims, and we never seem to hear about them. I wonder why! But the shoe bomber and underwear bomber, and now the toner bomber, they made sure we all know about it.

Yeah, they either prevented something terrible from happening, or they simply made the whole thing up! I wonder which of the two possibilities is the truth.

"Emirati authorities, however, said flight 201 carried no 'suspicious' cargo from Yemen as claimed by US-Canadian military agency NORAD.
UAE officials rejected the claim and said the plane was not a source of threat.
"The Emirates plane that arrived today in the United States from Dubai did not contain any packages from Yemen," the official Emirati WAM news agency quoted an unnamed source with the country's civil aviation body as saying. "

m5c32,
I agree with much of what you say, except that you seem to be assuming that your opinions are correct, that they are backed by facts; they certainly are not!
Indeed, you have to buy the book Tim recommended. But you can view Ryan Dawson's work on line FOR FREE!
Well you certainly are showing an unwillingness to consider opinions that differ from yours.
