US Has Now Vetoed UN Resolution Opposing Illegal Israeli

.... settlements.


BREAKING NEWS: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 2011
One hundred countries supported the latest U.N. resolution opposing Israeli's continued colonial settlement in the occupied territories. Every other U.N. Security Council member, 14 in all, supported it.

The United States itself repeatedly has spoken out against the expanding settlements in Jerusalem and the West Bank, with Obama recently trying to negotiate a 3-month freeze on settlements (only to have his hand smacked away by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu).

Obama has recently spoken favorably of Arab peoples demanding to be freed from the yokes of autocratic and oppressive regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere.

Yet Obama's first UN Security Council veto comes now, in favor of Israel's illegal behavior. Israel can proceed full steam ahead trampling on Palestinians, with full assurance that the U.S. will do nothing to stop it.

Happy talk about freedom and justice for people's of the world aside, this act reveals clearly that U.S. President Barack Obama is no friend of the Palestinian people. Thanks for nothing, Obama!

Unbelievable! Just ....unbelievable!! Why Israel doesn't join the US as the 51th state? That would make things less awkward.

In the bible, it says that Europe will never unite, over the years it has tried too hence the Euro currency, if you read though the books though the bible you would learn how these wars started.

Palestinian and Israel have had tensions since the biblical times, this is nothing new.

Tensions in the world is just part of the signs of the coming of Jesus and the climax is coming, it will just get worse.

I point my finger at you and say BS (but with a big friendly smile because I still think your a good person)

the Palestinians are mostly decended from the Jews who were left in Israel after the destruction of the Temple.
They are not Philistines, Moabites or what not. (Nebel et al. 2000)

You could think of them as Jews that converted to Islam.
Because there are no muslims in the bible the conflict can not be since Biblical times.
historically the Jewish people have gotten along Better with Muslims then with Christians.
(who they have had conflict with since biblical times)
Jews are Arabs after all.

unless what you are saying is Jews have been having problems with other Jews since biblical times.
which of course is true.


Nebel et al. 2000, Almut Nebel, Ariella Oppenheim, "High-resolution Y chromosome haplotypes of Israeli and Palestinian Arabs reveal geographic substructure and substantial overlap with haplotypes of Jews." Human Genetics 107(6) (December 2000): 630-641

Netanyahu is a criminal in the same category as any Palestinian terrorist - indeed his career drive to build illeagle settelments is probably partially a machievillian move to diliberaely provoke Palestinian violence.

But the US has to stick up for Israel.

Maybe if they rephrased the resolution to condemn both sides ( the Isrealis for stealing land and the Palestinians for shooting rockets in response to Israel stealing land) then an American President might be persuaded to signoff on it.

Wow, America Vetoing a UN resolution?

The American Government should quit pretending they give a s**t about what the international community thinks, and leave the UN.
UN = League of Nations 2.0

Israel shoots more rockets then their Muslim brothers.
even the violence is non-parity.

What was the last instance of an Israeli Jew strapping on the explosive vest and blowing up a crowd of innocent people? What was the last time Israeli Jews hijacked a commercial air flight and crashed the plane into a tall building filled with unarmed people?

Do automatic weapons count or just the vests?
I think Israelis and Jews should be held to a higher ethical standard than the other Nations.
But maybe that is some residual Jewish chauvinism ("chosen"ism)

An uplifting thought, but consider this. The last one standing is the Winner.

If thine enemy smite thee on thy cheek,
tear his head off and pee down his neck.

When Moses, our Teacher was a Prince of Egypt, he saw an Egyptian taskmaster beating up a Hebrew slave. Mose overcame that primordial Jewish urge to consider the situation from all points of view and to consider what social pressures would cause the overseer to be so brutal. What he did was kill the s.o.b. and bury his body in the sand.

I think there is a lesson hidden in there.

Israel doesn't use children as human bombs.

Yet Israel don't use women and children as shields, nor do they support terrorism.
Care to tell us the REAL reason why you spewed that little nonsense.

Yes. The IDF fires back when Hamas shoots rockets at Israeli cities and towns. The Hamas Rocketeers love to set their rocket shooting position right next to schools, nurseries and places where children are kept. Your typical Hamas Rocketeer hides behind baby cribs and the skirts of women.

Neither Israeli and Palestinian people are anywhere near perfect.

It does not surprise me though that the Palestinian are fighting back when they are under-nourished and have grown up in violent circumstances.

There are several Israeli people against it, but the people in power in Israel seem to be little more than Nazi's in my eyes.

Accusing Israel of throwing twelve million people into gas chambers.
Stay classy (or not)!

Im attacking an individual and his policies not a nationality.
Im not attacking Israel per se. Im attacking Netanyahu. He is as much a threat to the peace process as Abu Nidal was.
At the moment Israel is the bigger threat to the peace process because hes at the helm.
The arabs could be more intransient two years down the road.
Im against individuals on either side who are enemies of the peace process.
In general the Isrealis act the way I would act in their shoes. And in general the Palestinians also act pretty much the way that I would act in thier shoes as well. And thats the rub.

Maybe I shouldve made that clear.
But since I put you into defensive mode-if you're gonna defend Israel -well dont.
Your not good at it.
Flying planes into buildings?
I said "Palestinians". Bin Ladin is not a Palestinian and did not target Israel.
Get your conflicts strait.
Zionist bombed buildings and murdered innocent civilians in the fourties when the Isreali state was being created.
So Zionism and terrorism are hardly mutually exclusive so I wouldnt even talk about "blowing up innocent civilians".

I think they deserve each other.
and really as I have said earlier are each other
