The only homeland in terms of history and geography.
It's never to late, however, for acts of kindness and understanding to break the cycle of violence.
No one likes ISIS.
Yeah, that’s for sure!
Except OSIRIS, but that's an issue for another thread.
Skeared of Iran.
I fear this might be a ruse to recognize a PA state and force Israel to do the same.
Of course, Trump is right, the political system is corrupt.
The first and foremost of them is Qatar, which recently hosted a beach volleyball tournament, in which Israel took part a few days ago...
I just try to picture this :) Qatar still gives tons of money to terrorists, no? I guess getting closer will help in getting them to stop. I don’t think so. But who knows?
OBAMA is the BIGGEST reason they are getting closer
He is such a cluster ###### that the arabs AND Israel know they can no longer depend on him against zealots.
At present, a total of 32 United Nations member states do not recognize or generally / partially do not maintain diplomatic relations with the State of Israel: 18 of the 21 UN members in the Arab League: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen (the exceptions are Egypt, Jordan and Mauritania); a further 11 members of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Chad, Guinea, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger, and Pakistan; and Bhutan, Cuba, and North Korea.
Qatar is hosting the World Cup in 2022. They risk placing the event in jeopardy if they try to preclude Israelis from attending.
So the answer would be they are still funding terrorism no a large scale, I assume.
The Israel thing is just for the Cup games.
It is good news. Blowhard Obama will probably take credit for it.
The only thing crazier is Christian zealotry. Better write off the Evangelicals too.
Recognize Israel?
Who, the one with the Groucho Marx glasses?
They can’t because it’s crazy.
Among other things, yes. All of the Gulf states hate and fear Iran. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Note that Bhutan not recognizing Israel has nothing to do with whether they agree or disagree with anything about Israel. Rather, Bhutan has diplomatic relations with only about 30 odd countries (I think) and generally prefers to be the Himalayan isolated kingdom.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

An Obama accomplishment, made likely by his abandonment of both Israel and our Arab allies.
