White House plan would create Palestinian state; Proposal goes beyond just endorsing idea...

USA Today ^

[RCW2001]

WASHINGTON -- The United States is working on a Middle East peace proposal that would include creating an independent Palestinian state, senior administration officials said Wednesday.

Such a plan would go a step further than the previous U.S. position, which was merely to endorse the idea of statehood.

Of course, since there has never, ever been an independent state called "Palestine", there can not be any people called "Palestinians".

How many more times must we hear this stupid statement? Go read the Balfour Declaration to see where the term "Palestinian" comes from.

[The Green Goblin]

Thus by proclaiming yourself against Israel in the war against fascist arab terrorism, you have put yourself on the terrorist side against the U.S. as well.

By equating every Palestinian with terrorism, you are engaging in thinking that is dehumanizing, irrational, ungodly, and plain wrong.

And I never called you a jackass , but it is obvious.

The statement is factual and not stupid. I said an "INDEPENDENT" Palestinian state. Try to read and understand that concept before you post again.

[BenF]

It's only obvious to someone with a warped mind and no grasp of reality.

And, by the way, I noticed to failed to provide proof of your accusation. What a surprise!!!

Next time you post, try a little honesty.

Are you a liberal?

[lavaroise]

Like this is going to discourage terrorism, hot headed identity and dictatorships. A nice slap on the face of democracy in favor of thugs.

To NixonDude, america-rules, and The Green Goblin;

Thank you for the conversation. I hope we can keep it civil and try to learn something from each other. As tonight begins my Sabbath, I will not be able to respond to any further discussion. Thank you.

To hangin' chad and Aim small miss small

My Sabbath approaches and I have no more time to play with you. Hopefully, the next time we meet it will be more civil. What can I say besides hope springs eternal.

To Yehuda

Best wishes for a Gut Shabbos to you and your family.

Of course, since there has never, ever been an independent state called "Palestine", there can not be any people called "Palestinians".

Since there has also never, ever been an independent state called "Asia", there cannot be any people called "Asians"...

Right after Powell talked about a Palestinian state, 911 occured. Some talked about divine punishment occuring every time we inch away from Israel, others talked about terrorists getting a cue. This time, they will get a cue 911 is all too effective. I am thinking the worst is going to happen soon.

>Good Shabbos to and yours and all as well.

Excellent posts throughout this thread by each of you!  We agree with you wholeheartedly.  You are in our prayers.

Sadly, we think you are right.  G-d sees the hearts of those who conspire against Israel.  Nothing is hidden from Him.  muslims seem to learn by repetition of what works and they think terror works.  They likely with join with Russia, China and a consortium against America to take America out so they can then try to take out Israel.  I see only one country in the world that is guaranteed by G-d as never ceasing to be a nation.  That nation is Israel.

Actually, only a moron such as yourself believes that America is safer by forcing the creation of another Iraqistan in the midst of Israel

I can only assume, by your posting of this vapid comment on a thread entitled "White House plan would create Palestinian state", that you believe President Bush is also a moron and a "Fatah shill" (you see he's the one that lives in the big White House here in America). Only a few of you rabid Zionists believe in a Mid East solution that does not call for the creation of a viable Palestinian state. The rest of your sanctimonious diatribe is equally useless and unworhty of response.

[Prodigal Daughter]

Speaking of sanctimonious diatribe: the Palestinian Arabs can vote and own land in Israel: not so in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic. No wonder over 10,000 of them signed a petition to attempt to remain under Israeli rule when Arafat took over. Arafat's murderers murder Palestinian Christians too. But their friends, the Saudis, have lots of money.

True but Israels going to go through a world of hurt first

Are you now claiming the so-called "Palestinians" are a race? Asian is a racial, not nationalistic, designation. Nice try though.
