I remember being in a bar in Casper, Wyoming in uniform, when a StraightUp type came up to me and ask me how I could ever serve in the Military. Vietnam was still waging. I got nose to nose with him and said "I serve because I'm not a chickens**t son-of-a- b***h like you." He quickly left and I've mellowed a bit since. Only my mind still battles. That was the only time I ever experienced a personal comment against the military like that and dang if it hasn't rekindled a fire in my belly again remembering.

You really are a jackass.

First of all, Nimrod, it was the United Nations that established the Jewish State of Israel. The UN sought to establish a two state solution, Israeli and Palestine, but never quite got around to it. At least 3 times Isreal offered the Palestinians their own land and were turned down because the Palestinians only wanted Jews driven into the sea and would settle for nothing less. Get your facts straight, Straightup. The Palestinian people are so low class, dependant and high strung emotionally that none of their Arab brethren want them in their own country and aren't willingly offering them even temporary sanctuary yet. How is Israel supposed to deal with Palestinians who have taught generations of their children the following:

The Jews have not taught their people, especially their children, to h**e Palestinians. Remember what Golda Mier said: "When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for k*****g our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to k**l their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they h**e us." That time has not yet come. Shock and awe into submission is all that's left.

The U.S. State Department designated Hamas a terrorist group in 1997. The European Union and other Western countries also consider it a terrorist organization. Yet you and other ignorant Americans are protesting in favor of terrorist and against Israel. Over the decades Hamas has fired over tens thousand rockets indiscriminately into Israel and made many other deadly incursions. Israel responded appropriately. The Palestinians are so stupid they take a knife to a gun fight. This time Hamas went too far and it's finally time Israel decided to responded by bombing and k*****g Hamas & Palestinians into submission. Hopefully they'll disregard Biden's interfering rump scratching fingers.

The total Jewish population of Israel today exceeds by only one million the total number of Jews murdered by Hitler. The total number of Jews worldwide is estimated at 15.7 Million. What a small percentage of people to have so much undeserved hatred and misunderstanding generated towards them by people like yourself. I expect this small group of highly talented people have contributed more to humanity thru science, arts, music, medicine, literature, philosophy, etc, etc, etc, than anyone else. They've had their share of nuts too, I expect you have a fondness for one of them - Karl Marx. On the other hand, terrorism is the biggest contribution of Palestineans to human society. Those Palestinians who are shuttering and shaking in their shelters at night are the same that joyously jumped up and down upon learning Hamas' attacked Israel on Oct 7th and upon hearing of the attack to America on 911.

You can take your antisemitic attitude and shove it. You're misguided.

Israel is not the one denying the Palestinians an independent state.
Ariel Kliegman April 27, 2019

It is easy to forget that, in 1947, when the United Nations recommended the creation of a Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine, the international body also recommended the creation of an Arab state—what would today be a national home for the Palestinians. The idea was to partition the land into two separate entities—in other words, a two-state solution. Indeed, in 1988, the Palestine National Council described the partition resolution as what "still provides those conditions of international legitimacy that ensure the right of the Palestinian Arab people to sovereignty." Yet at the time of the resolution, the Arabs—no one used the term "Palestinians" then—boycotted the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine, which the General Assembly empowered to make recommendations about the future government of the territory, rejecting both the partition and a single, binational state. Then the Arabs completely, and unambiguously, rejected the General Assembly's partition plan, believing that, once the British left Mandatory Palestine, they would defeat the Jews and control the entire area. Of course, the Arabs failed, despite the help of several armies. The Jewish state of Israel, established in 1948, endured, and the Palestinian Arabs, who could have had their own state, remained stateless.

Since then, the Palestinians have repeatedly turned down offers of statehood. First, they did not seek the West Bank when Jordan controlled it from 1949 to 1967. Only when the land was back in Israeli control following the Six-Day War did the Palestinians again call it disputed. Twelve years later, Israel worked to offer the Palestinians autonomy, which would have been a major step toward full independence, to no avail. Then in 2000 and 2008, Israel offered the Palestinians control of virtually all of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with a capital in East Jerusalem. Each time the Palestinians rejected the offer, even waging a violent uprising against the Israelis following the failure in 2000. One would be hard-pressed to find another national independence movement, beyond the Palestinian one, that has turned down formal offers of statehood in the territory they claim. Indeed, the Palestinians have, time and again, set new standards for stubbornness.

And yet, despite this history, most of the world seems to blame Israel for the Palestinians' situation. Just look at the recent wave of articles and comments assailing the Jewish state that followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's e******n victory earlier this month. Naturally, the New York Times led the charge, "reporting" that, with Netanyahu's ree******n, Palestinian families see "no light at the end of the tunnel." In a front-page feature, the Times discusses how the Palestinians are despairing about the stalemate in the peace process. Importantly, the article notes that many Palestinians see the Palestinian Authority, or P.A., for the corrupt, ineffective regime that it is, and that at least some want to make peace with Israel. But look at how the Times portrays the general state of the peace process:

Palestinians have wanted to shake free of Israeli domination since the West Bank was first occupied in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. For more than a quarter-century they have waited for the United States-led peace process to deliver them a state of their own.

That is fair enough, but what is the very next paragraph?

But on the eve of Israel's April 9 e******ns, Mr. Netanyahu said he planned to begin applying Israeli sovereignty over West Bank land, which the Palestinians have long counted on for an eventual state. For many of them, his victory has pushed a two-state solution far beyond the already distant horizon, where it existed in the minds of Palestinian politicians.

So the Palestinians had some hope, according to the Times, until Netanyahu's victory less than three weeks ago. And now the peace process, which of course had been making such public progress over the last 10 years, is finally dead. This narrative is at best delusional, and at worst intentionally misleading. It omits the fact that, for decades, the Palestinians have repeatedly refused to compromise on any agreement that would acknowledge the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state, even if that agreement would also create an independent Palestinian state alongside it. Time after time, the Palestinians have shown that thwarting Israel is more important than realizing their own goals.

Palestinians have made deliberate decisions that left them stateless. Just look at what Saeb Erekat, chief Palestinian negotiator, recently told P.A. TV. Erekat explained that, in 2008, Israel offered the Palestinians even more territory than the full area of the West Bank and Gaza, agreed to take 150,000 Palestinian refugees, and proposed for Jerusalem that "what's Arab is Arab, and what's Jewish is Jewish"—in other words, the best deal realistically possible for the Palestinians. And yet, P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas, who serves in the same role today, rejected the offer. So do not expect the Palestinians to accept a deal—any deal—now. Until the Palestinians accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state on what they deem Muslim, Palestinian land, and until the Palestinians realize they cannot destroy Israel and control all of its territory, they will never get a state.

You forgot one very important point. The muzzies stole the Jews land which they lived on for thousands of years. If any one is oppressed, marginalized, castigated, threatened to be exterminated by the muzzies, it is Israel and the Jewish inhabitants that have to live with a group of neo-n**i like terrorists like these vapid Palestinian people who are not even wanted by their fellow muzzles in Egypt, Lebanon and Syria. They know what caliber of people these Palestinians are and it is not a pretty , peaceful lot. Maybe you should try living next door to them with having your life, your families life and your peaceful existence taken from you. Good luck with that and quit flying the Palestinian and n**i f**gs in front of your house. These Palestinian thugs and terrorists need their a$$es kicked back to the stone age by the Israelis. Go Israel MIGA, Make Israel Great Again.
