    Joe the Plumber is an average Joe that is what it is all about.

    Well Blackwater Security© is a industry standard and mandatory.

    and I would imagine being a professional talking head he also needs a crew of gay make up artist to apply powder puff make up and polish his head.

    Is that such a bad thing?

    The alternative to the Palestinians fighting is extinction. If they don't stand up against Israel, there is no hope for them at all.

    Israel plans to kill them off.

    I wouldn't go quietly into the night either.

    Call me suspicious, but lately Israel and the US have been taking a lot of flack for the disportionate response...is it impossible that special ops from one of these groups could be responsible? Wouldn't be the first time would it?

    I find this puzzling, reported on 12/26:

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/158107

    Who discovered them? Who held on to them? Now a week later they are launched?

    This is all about the politics of Israel and very little about the agression of arabs in the area.

    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/158123

    This whole thing is about the upcoming Israeli election. Call me suspicious, but I am not a conspiracy theorist. But if they think fostering agression will get them elected, would I think they could stoop that low. You betcha!

    I am an American taxpayer. What I would like to say is you want to continue receiving US aid, then you better start considering the principle of land for peace. Or be prepared to wage war on your own dime.

    I have been thinking similar thoughts especially about the rockets from Gaza.

    It is a very common tactic and it looks great in the media.

    But it is hard to say the ones from Lebanon would be a decent strategy from the other side.

    The peace process has accomplished nothing.

    It's been running since the days of the Camp David accords. Israel hasn't slowed it's march one bit in that time.

    A two state solution will never work because it leaves an apartheid Israel intact.

    That, is the problem.

    Why do people make me repeat myself?

    One Israel. For ALL it's inhabitants.

    No more Jewish state. No more Star of David on the flag. No more Jew only this or that.

    One Israel. One people.

    You're going to be seeing this idea hit the mainstream this year. It's been circulating in various intellectual circles for a while now.

    It means the death of a two state solution and the zionists who cultivate that idea.

    Either Israel unites, or it blows itself apart, as a Jewish state. Taking a large portion of the world's Jews with it when it goes.

    I know of the situation in Dafur.

    The reason we must concentrate on Israel is the danger of nuclear war.

    Dafur will have to wait.

    I don’t have anything against Israel but they are an western occupation zone in a place they are out numbered.

    If something happens to their big protector (the U.S.) like the loss of super power status they are in big trouble.

    I certainly wouldn’t want to raise a family there.

    As balanced as a man doing a jig while wearing a hat with dominoes standing on it.

    Sorry, I'm trying to get your thoughts straight in my head. You want to eliminate religious freedoms and instill an Israeli state, including Gaza, and the West Bank, and include Palestinians into an Israeli state?

    So, you favour a centralized Israeli state that is secular from Zionists, Jews, and Muslims?

    What it did was validate what happenned Israel dropped shells on Lebanon, a democratic nation. It was a warning to other Arab states to stay out of the discussion.

    Funny thing is you can't find hardly anything on the Israeli shelling of Lebanon by doing a google, and tv media has completely closed the story. More proof that the media coverage even on the internet is being skewed towards the Israelis.

    Why did they "drop shells" on Lebanon ? was it in response to the bombs dropped on Israel from Lebanon ??

    Of course you haven't acknowledged that Lebanon fired first, why is that?

    Are you calling whats going on in Gaza a "discussion"?

    Funny thing is , you wont consider Googling "Lebanese shelling of Israel" because you have yet to accept that they(anyone other than Israel) can do any wrong.

    Not that we needed any ,but its just more proof you hate anything and everything Israeli/Jewish.
