I have a suggestion of what you, also, can do. It involves your lips on my backside.

Any human reasonable person who follows this issue surely must sense the injustice of keeping a people imprisoned in these places.

What kind of life is it when one can't leave or enter the areas where they are forced to live, without being given permission? On top of that, when their imprisonment becomes unbearable and when they protest out of sheer frustration, due to conditions that can only be imagined by those not subjected to such treatment, they are used as ginny pigs for testing the latest crowd control weapons.

However, the question no one seems to be asking that I'm hearing: what is to become of the Palestinian people? Those who deal in reality realize a two-state solution ain't gonna happen. If the Jews continue their quest for a Greater Israel, and that's what they're up to, then where are the Palestinians supposed to go?

Perhaps, as has been shown throughout history, their plans will be foiled. The countries that contain portions of the land that Israel covets, for their dreams of a Greater Israel, will probably have something to say about that.

I also suspect that the people of the US will, at some point, wake up and refuse to be used as Israel's enabler. Listening to the Democratic debates, we heard Tulsi Gabbard explain her thoughts on the wars in the Middle East. That the US wakes up could be nearer than thought, especially when considering those who have hijacked the Democratic party.

This was at the end of the example you submitted.

I think what has to be realized is there are people forced by Israel to live under conditions that none of us would want to live under. The fallacy is that the Palestinians bring it on themselves. This is pure nonsense.

It's been documented that time and again the Palestinians have been willing to accept a s**tty deal that would have, never-the-less, created a two-state solution. Israeli's sabotaged every plan. Let's cut the baloney, Israel has no intention of ever being part of a two-state solution.

What they have is a plan for grabbing more land. The map of greater Israel ain't hangin' in Synagogs for decoration effect.

By the way, what's your opinion of the Congress considering laws that compromise the First Amendment. Also, do you believe the article I posted is total fiction?

You may have the last word on this subject.

No, I haven't been to Israel. I suppose it depends on what one wants to believe, but there are presently laws in Germany against protesting against Israel. Perhaps other European countries, as well. I don't think it's a stretch of the imagination that the same types of laws are being talked about, by the Jewish Lobby, here in the US.

Accusing the Palestinians of causing their own misery just to present a picture of being persecuted is a bit of a stretch. Also, just because one is a liberal doesn't mean they automatically lie.

I also think there are too many accounts of the type of treatment being dished out by the IDF against the people held in those little more than outdoor prisons, to be ignored.

Perhaps, you can provide some material to back up your positions of the treatment dished out by Palestinian leadership against their own people.

This article shouldn't surprise anyone who has been following Israel's actions. However, the point being made that Israel is imbolden in its egregious actions because of the Trump Presidency isn't an imagined one.

Not only are the Palestinians being s**t on, but the Jewish Lobby is also attempting to crap on America's First Amendment. There's a push for America's legislators to create a law making it illegal to protest Israel's actions, when-and-if participating in the BDS boycott movement. The punishment, if a law is enacted, is a fine and prison time.

Okay, I get your point. However, I'm not addicted to Facebook. There are days I go without checkin' it at all. When I do check it, I scroll through to see if there's anything of interest. If something trips my trigger, and I think those on OPP would find it interesting, and create talking points, I'll post it. Plus, posting stuff found on Facebook, or elsewhere, saves me the effort of writing about anything.

And, I seldom watch TV except for the FOX Network and local news. However, I'm beginning to regret signing up for the Dish Satilight system required to receive Fox, for I'm becoming bored with Fox, plus I'm finding OPP a bit boring as well.

Still, when the desire presents itself, OPP gives me an opportunity to write something, same with facebook. I find writing, my own personal challenge. I attempt to write the next paragraph better than the last. I admire anyone who has the ability for expressing their thoughts through unique words and style.

I also used to post on Facebook the same stuff, I b***hed about here on OPP, not so much anymore, though, unless something ticks me off.

Also, the computer, and its advantages, (spellcheck) have allowed me wide latitude to communicate with anyone foolish enough to provide an email address. It has allowed me to express my displeaser with pundits and anyone else who has caused me a bit of ire. I've written and had many letters published in our local newspapers expressing my displeasure about the column written by a featured pundit or a letter to the editor written by a local reader.


In fact, I've banged on the keys of my computer to a point of wearing off many of the letters. However, as with all things, passions fade. It's rare that much of anything causes an emotional reaction that warrants an effort to write about it.

Probably an age thing. Woe is me.

Don't hold your breath.

WHY NOT!

Add the possibility that President Trump could be in a position, at some point, whether in this p**********l term or the next, to appoint another jurist to the Supreme Court, and ya can imagine what happens next.

Having rethought the issue, I think the mistake is that the initial calculation included the 75,000 being paid in 85&86. 174,000 divided by 75,000. The way it should have been calculated, in my limited math opinion, is the 99,000 difference when subtracting the 75,000 from 174,000.

75,000 divided by 99,000=1.32 or a 132 % increase. A pretty healthy increase vis-a-vis what the American worker received during that period of time.

Never said I am, however, if ya don't care for my simple math, perhaps you'll educate us by contributing a more detailed mathematic formula.

Good point!

I didn't originate the information, I merely reposted it. I have no idea what the originator was using for figures. However, Googling the salary for 85&86 the figure shown is 75,000.

Taking it up to the present from the 75,000 to 174,000 the difference is 2.32 times. Simple math tells us that when a figure doubles, depending on addition or subtraction, it can be 50% or 100%. By removing the decimal, the increase can be calculated at 232 %.

However, the assertion being, working folks have been left behind over the last several decades is in fact true, and not subject to speculation.

The old saying that figures don't lie, but liers figure could perhaps apply to Kevy and his calculations.

Ya never know! While most don't appreciate Brother Nathanael's brand of wisdom, I think him exceedingly intelligent. Besides, ya don't accomplish what he does being stupid, even if it isn't appreciated by most.

Brother Nathanael points out the folly of war with Iran. He also, correctly, indicates whose blood and treasure will be on the line. I wonder, will Americans ever wise up to what's taking place?

Watching the news a few days ago there was a segment featuring Greenspan and Wolfowitz. I don't recall what Greenspan's miscalculation was, however, Wolfowitz was the architect of the war with Iraq. The news feature made it seem that both these guys had HaHa merely miscalculated.

Bulls**t, both those guys knew exactly what they were doing and for what reason and whose benefit.
