calm An Avid Reader. A News-Political Junkie This user account status is Approved Comments Comments Posts Posts After reading all the replies and the name calling .... I am rather hesitant to reply in case I may appear to be encouraging such actions by Palestinian supporters or with voicing support for terrorism. I want to make it quite clear that I am only commenting as a discussion point only. However; I will respond this final time in regards to the views expressed here by comments made by readers.. I agree that Americans would be totally angry. Totally! Do yuh think that Americans could be any more angry than the Palestinians are at this moment in history? But what could the Americans actually do about it but to relent and negotiate. It would be impossible for the Americans to ignore. I guess America could choose some nuclear option against Palestine, but there are far too many Palestinian supporters who might react and act upon the threat with the use of violence in reaction to the threat. On Palestinian legislators are ‘dragged out’ of Knesset as Pence promises embassy will move in 2019 I agree that the average American would not be too impressed, but a threat such as this would succinctly put the ball directly into the American mainstream. If given the choice, I believe that the American public will never willingly give up their "Sacred Ground" (forests/parklands) for the sake of some biblical dream of Israel. I think the public would demand immediate negotiations with updates on a daily basis. Otherwise, the cost would be to great to have ever imagined. Truth is, the Americans would be unable to defend themselves from such a threat just as the Middle East is unable to defend themselves from Israeli aggression. Americans would be just as defenseless as the Palestinian Peoples are while attempting to protect and preserve their Palestinian sacred ground. On Palestinian legislators are ‘dragged out’ of Knesset as Pence promises embassy will move in 2019 I read somewhere that the Palestinian leadership is about to make it known to U.S. negotiators that for every inch of land illegally seized by Israel since the 1967 war that there would be a reprisal within all NATO member countries and would result in the destruction of any/all forest and parklands? Do you think that NATO countries be willing to lose the heritage and financial asset of these lands for Israel? NATO members are unable to defend themselves from such destruction by fire because of the land areas being so vast. I believe that the threat alone would be sufficient and that there would be no need to actually carry out such a dastardly act. Most importantly, if any fire began with a lightning strike, would simply raise the attention of the Palestinian cause with the paranoia rise within NATO member countries. NATO member countries view their forests and parklands as sacred ground just as the Palestinians view their historical homeland. I think that NATO would be at the negotiating table in the morning. I think that the threat alone would grab worldwide attention and force the average American (Not Politicians) to view the Palestinian issue in a proper light with an easy comparison on how each view their homeland. I think that the threat alone would have the average voter demanding pre-1967 borders and refusal to support Israel wars any further. Israel would have a huge public relations issue on the table as with the possibility of smoke rising high into the skies and Americans see the Israeli war arriving on their doorstep. On Palestinian legislators are ‘dragged out’ of Knesset as Pence promises embassy will move in 2019 I have never seen the American public so angry as they are today. They want to strike out at anybody who even smells of wealth. And we all know full well what that means. Calm On I’m not worried about anti-Semitism The Left is much too polite, and thus appear in TV Land and Mouse Land as a bunch of whimps. The Left needs to scream just as loud, just as angrily, as the Tea Party did as they turned up at townhall meetings with guns strapped to their waist. The Left is seen whimpering "Duh .... Can't we all just get along?" When the Left watch media stories, they want to see the same tone of anger from their leadership as they feel within their own hearts. Anger denotes "commitment". Calm On Why Trump’s revolution succeeded, and Bernie’s fizzled @ Ritzl Thank You for your reply. It was very kind of you. I will take my website off-line now too. Calm On Thank you, Chief Rabbi. Now I know: Judaism is to blame for the Nakba Well, I guess they are not going to post the reply I gave to Annie Robbins ..... Maybe it got lost in Mouse Land. I explain again for you since you were kind enough to reply to me. I was at a forum and I read a discussion concerning settlements. One person made the claim that there were new settlements opening up ..... And a Pro-Israel person replied that Israel had not opened a new settlement since the Oslo Accords. I was kind of shocked by this because I was under the impression that Israel had opened new settlements. I keep a personal database of sorts on the Israel/Palestine issue because it interests me immensely. I will link you to it, and will leave it available for your viewing for a short time. Normally I don't have it open for public viewing. http://www.pair-annoyed.com:9090/NEW-Calm-Forums-NEW/showthread.php?t=24623 Anyways; when I attempted to find "New" settlements within all the articles and commentaries I have collected over the years, I could not find "New". So, that is why I asked the question here. Thank you for your interest. Calm On Thank you, Chief Rabbi. Now I know: Judaism is to blame for the Nakba Your answer is in an earlier post I aimed at Annie Robbins. (about 15 minutes ago, before I read your reply.) It is still with "Moderation". (Maybe they won't post it.) Calm On Thank you, Chief Rabbi. Now I know: Judaism is to blame for the Nakba Oh! I thought you would know a bit about me if you clicked my name and it would show previous conversations here. I am quite serious ..... I keep reading that Bibi has not created new settlements since the Oslo accords and I find it awful confusing to investigate whether or not this is true. I don't live in the area and "Expansion" is all I read about, but not "New" settlements. And, when the claim "Expansion" is used, does that mean the actual land size increased or that only more settlers moved in or the building of new houses? Does "Expansion" (not land size but only new houses) break the Oslo Accords? I keep reading about security fences ..... Are the Israeli's getting around Oslo by building security fences outside of the original settlement land base? I thank you for offering to assist me. I would really appreciate it. Calm On Thank you, Chief Rabbi. Now I know: Judaism is to blame for the Nakba Can a reader answer this question for me, Please? Since the Oslo Accords, has Israel opened any new settlements or have they only expanded existing ones? Calm On Thank you, Chief Rabbi.
