WASHINGTON -- Senator Dianne Feinstein of California introduced a bill Tuesday night that would have the Senate resolve itself to supporting Secretary of State John Kerry's push for a two-state solution.

The bill hit the Senate floor just hours after direct negotiations began in Washington between Israel and the Palestinians. The two parties agreed to negotiate in earnest over the next nine months— with the United States facilitating— addressing final status issues with the aim of establishing two independent states side by side.

Calling the two-state solution the only way to "ensure the State of Israel's survival as a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people," the Senate resolution states that a peace agreement is a fundamental security interest of the United States.

The resolution had no public Republican support upon its release Tuesday evening.

Can I pull a leg out from under the resolution?

This is the part where the former United States of America sticks it to the Jews. This regime is just not Jew-friendly.

Could save a lot of money just burning a few hundred million bucks in a trash can in front of the white house instead of all that postage delivering it to the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Besides, we just sent them a half a BILLION.

What the heck are they going to spend all that money on, there are only a million of them in the entire country. That’s 500 bucks for every man woman and child bomb in Gaza. Everybody getting a new military grade explosive vest?

There hasn’t been peace in the Middle East since Abraham had his little fling with Hagar way back in Bible times, and John Kerry thinks he can patch it all up? Good luck with that.

typo? Middle East Peace Putsch

[rawhide]

Give McCain and Graham some time and they will support it.

What a joke. In the first place kerry is a traitor. He was a violator of the enemies act is going to Paris in 70 and meeting the Viet Cong while my buddies were getting killed by them. He is worthless , He doesn’t know a Shia from a Sunni. He is just a rich jiggalo because he married a dumb Heinz Catchup woman.

Where is the resolution to support America’s ally?

Where is the resolution to stop Obama’s support
of slavers, and crucifiers, and sellers of girls?

Where is the resolution to STOP Obama from weaponizing
al Qaeda?

Where is the resolution for real peace, and not PIECES?

Is John Kerry really saying that the only way to have a secure Israel is to create lawless enclaves bordering Israel where radicalized jihadist types and organizations backed by Iran and Syria have free reign to attack Israel from?

Is this for real?

Americans- short sighted fixes that bring quick political capital (other example: Balkans, Castro, Noriega, supporting AQ in the Cold War...), no historic background knowledge, no principals and with a mercenary approach, highly influenced by the prevailing winds of a pop-culture with its media and some trendy ideas of the moment.

What you really need to ask is why so many Jews love Obama and the Democrats to include Clinton and Carter?

Thanks Nachum.

Senator Dianne Feinstein of California introduced a bill Tuesday night that would have the Senate resolve itself to supporting [Lurch]'s push for a two-state solution... Calling the two-state solution the only way to "ensure the State of Israel's survival as a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people," ...

And yet, advocates can't answer the simple question, "how so?"

Jewish mothers are really really good at the guilt thing.

[foundedonpurpose]

It is propaganda so you are correct.

[himno hero]

Never see it, it will be immediately quashed by Obama and his minions. Particularly now that we are the largest muslim nation.

[traditional1]

So Obama sent 1/2 Billion Taxpayer dollars to Hamas, so they’ll come to the farce of a Peace Meeting, to make the Traitor (did you know he served in Viet Nam?) Kerry some token “victory” in Diplomacy. Kerry is next in line to get a Nobel Peace Prize, so he TOO can look “Impotent”......what a bunch of assholes.....

I can only speak for the Jews I know, Israeli’s. They overwhelmingly were afraid of Obama and what he represents. While I was there in Israel on the first vote for Obama it was estimated that 78% voted Against him. It was not that they liked McCain, McCain was rarely mentioned. They saw Obama for what he was.

NYC Jews? Its only heresay to me. Perhaps its something in the water.

[Red6]

The US is full of left leaning Jews because they are predominantly Euro Jews that are historically socialist/communist. In all reality, the socialist and communist movements were started in Europe by Jews: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx They are big government socialists, having this philosophy inculcated into their culture. They live in the big cities which tend to be more liberal, and they are disproportionately represented in certain occupations which are very liberal. Bottom line: The Jon Stewart's and Barbara Streisand's are the norm, not the exception.

Israel too is an example of this where the entire idea of the Kibbutz is essentially socialist with its big government social programs and state apparatus. The difference is that some there might be realizing that Obama is a threat to their interests and national security specifically. However, it is the socialist philosophy that attracts so many Jews to the Democrats.

Is this something like the Senate resolution that said McCain was eligible for POTUSA? Promo stuff.
