31. David @ 19; Do not be so sure.

I do not think Obama got it still.
32. #19 David ... Sadly Rev. Wright is
GZLives   (08.14.09)
indicative of many Black churches all over the US and the one Obama attended was full of the elite black Chicagoans ... and so where do you suppose an up and coming black politician would be if not at that church? Does it mean Obama buys into it? No. Does it mean Obama was even there very often? No. Do ytou know where much of the networking ios done in Chicago? One of the most popular places in a certain AA meeting where many of the Chicago elite go to try and stay sober. Many go just to get close to those people. Does it mean they are also drunks? No ... so ease up on the Rev Wright stuff because it doesn't really indicate anything other then a politican sometimes does what a politican must do to get the votes he /she needs to have a career. And anyway ... how long did it take Obama to throw Wright under the bus when he realized what a liability Wright was? How many days? 3? 4? That proves my argument.
33. Albert @ 17; Here is a little help for you.

No need to make it more complicated than it is - when land is disputed it means that all interested parties are disputing it. BTW, you assume correctly. Demand away.
34. missing post
(08.14.09)
not sure why 2 previous post are missing except that they contain a scripture verse...shouldn't think that violates any thing
35. #26 Sorry Roman but your wrong......
Albert ,   Los Angeles   (08.14.09)
you can easily google the 1949 ceasefire line an it explicitly states that it should in no way be construed as a permanent border between Israel and Jordan/Egypt. You need to fact check yourself dude.
36. we wont agree too
michael ,   jerusalem   (08.14.09)
there is a french bituy saying...... giving honey to pigs.... Israel is not for sale mr abAss
37. #35 You ignore both context and history post-1949.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (08.14.09)
The original 1949 Armistice agreements had a major demand from the Arab states participating, as part of the larger Arab League policy - Israel was a conquest waiting to happen, it did not actually exist, and hence its border would be recognized. Ever. It wasn't merely the borders of Gaza and the West Bank, but all the borders of Israel, at all sides. That was then. Since then, some time passed. Egypt lost control of Gaza, and Jordan of the West Bank, during the Six Day War - and later, when signing peace agreements, they used the 1949 Armistice Line as the basis for the final, de jure border with Israel, basing this on the fact that the de facto border before the Six Day War had in fact been this line - the exceptions were Gaza and the West Bank, which both countries gave up control of - essentially saying "they (the Palestinians) are now your problems, not ours". The Armistice Line is further defined as the de-facto border between Israel and Lebanon, as the future border that Syria demands, and is the accepted line internationally - the UN's reservation post-1949 was the control the organization was supposed to hold over Jerusalem, and even that particular pipe dream disappeared in the mists of time. So before reading an agreement, check its context and its evolution over time.
38. Abbas: We won't agree to temporary state
king david ,   israel   (08.14.09)
abbas wish ull thinking israel will not be divided again you may go to tranjordan were the brits gave land
39. Googling can bring good and bad data and spin
Galut ,   Selah   (08.14.09)
Dubious data should be verified by hard sources ... virtualy all major libraries around the world have micro film libraries of old newspapers and periodicals dating back pior to ww2... these sources are realitivly free of todays political spin.... it just takes a little patience to wade thru it....
