31. Etiquette
Boxer ,   USA   (08.31.11)
# 28, Israel has sufficient internal and external problems to worry about. Stop worrying about other people's business and mind your own. After all it s bad etiquette.
32. #29 Boxer

When was there an Arab state or nation called "Palestine" in the Middle East?
33. 24 Albrecht Klein, Germany: Watch a YouTube video clip
Rivkah   (08.31.11)
called, "YouTube Nostradamus predicts the LHC will create a black hole" to give you some information on that. Nostradamus' words were, "All should leave Geneva. Saturn turns from gold to iron. The contrary positive ray (RAYPOZ) will exterminate everything. There will be signs in the sky before this." Micro-black holes, black holes and stranglets may be attracted to the earth which then engulf or swallow up Geneva. The ELS Torah code matrix at www.arkcode.com says "Higgs Boson, evil." At another site by T. Chase, the English ELS Bible code matrix's say "Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the gate, destruction, distress, caused East wind." Another matrix says, "beast ascends out of bottomless pit, earth, Higgs Boson, earth, earthquake." It should be shut down and dismantled and abandoned immediately.

There is nothing about religion in post # 7. It isn't logical to label something crap just because you don't understand it or believe it.

You have it backwards. The free world needs to come to terms with Israel. The only land that Israel occuplies is it's own.
36. # 22
Mattan ,   USA   (08.31.11)
Israel never was and never will be a theocracy. it was founded by secular jews not crazy religious fanatics. israel is not iran. israel is a democracy with a jewish identity. where are these land deeds that you speak of? you can not compare holocaust vicitims to arabs who came into palestine from other lands with the sole purpose of killing jews. if you want to compare, then these palestinians are like nazis, not the victims. when an agressor loses land, they have no right to gain it back. dont pick fights. and dont pick fights you are sure to lose. this is just stupid. then when you lose a fight you started, you try to use the courts and claim that you are the victim? almost funny except these people are serious.
37. #29 JORDAN IS 77% OF PALESTINE
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.31.11)
Jordan consists of the 77% of Palestine that the British stole from their Mandate for Palestine that was to be given to the Jews All you have to to is check the Mandate Maps, to see what is what and what was Britain found it necessary to reward the Emir Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, for the serviices he gave them during World War One Learn History before you tell others to think logically While you're at it, think logically, return the USA to the Native American Indian's, from who you stole it by force of arms

39. #7
Ron 51 ,   Fairfax, USA   (08.31.11)
Palestine is no more Jordan, than Israel is Greece. It was never intended that Jordan would be part of Palestine. In September 1922, a clause in the charter governing the Mandate allowed Great Britain to postpone or permanently withhold all of the provisions which related to the Jewish National Home on lands which lay to the east of the Jordan River. From that point Britain administered them as two separate entities, Palestine, and Transjordan. Transfer of authority to an Arab government in Transjordan, started in 1923. Jordan was declared a sovereign independent state in 1946. It had, and has, the same degree of sovereignty as Israel did when it declared statehood in 1948.

Read my #37 it will explain it to you You're not worth the extra effort of my sending a separate explanation
41. To: No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.31.11)
Well, since you are so concerned about etiquette, may I remind you that Abbas is thought to have been one of the architects of the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at Munich? Poor etiquette, wouldn't you agree? Moreover, the tiny little Jordanian king is actually an Iraqi with a British mother, raised in the U.K. and married to a Kuwaiti. It is our business. It is very MUCH our business. Don't tell us how to run our existential concerns. It is, after all, bad etiquette.
42. #27;George, WHOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.31.11)
First, the UN is and has been controlled by the Muslims for years, and that shouldn't be very surprising. After all 57 of the 193 member countries are in fact Muslim countries. Oil money can buy the rest of the mostly thug nations through bribes and blackmail. So Israel is vastly outnumbered 57 to 1 at the UN. When you add together Non-aligned countries with the Muslim majority you pass 120 countries real quick, which explains why a disproportionate time is spent at the UN demonizing Israel. While much graver problems exist throughout the world. So the "Arab Spring" gets almost no play in 5 months, with over 5,000 dead, while the UN debates the flotilla (9 dead) from last year. How silly is that? BTW, Israel doesn't occupy anything, the country was approved in the Balfour Declaration (1917), The League of Nations (1922) and the UN (1947). While no country called Palestine ever existed in history. Whoops!!
43. #2 nadya - Don't bet on it
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.31.11)
In the very same way that Congress allocates monies for various foreign aid endeavors, Congress has the ability to restrict it, since it controls the flow of money
44. To: Ron at No. 39
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.01.11)
Not quite. When the British created the country of Iraq, the picked a Bedouin sheikh named Feisal and made him king. Feisal's baby brother Abdullah stamped his little foot and said that he, too, wanted to be a king. The Brits lopped off 77% of Palestine, renamed it the "Kingdom of the Transjordan," and gave it to Abdullah. Yet, while everyone challenges Israel's legitimacy, no one ever bothers to challenge the legitimacy of Jordan. Why is that?
