Bibi claim....<br /><br />The Oslo accords were done by 2000.<br /><br />Bibi claimed to have destroyed them himself.<br /><br />The two-state solution was a still-birthed concept from the beginning because neither side would compromise on key issues. For political reasons and with a few exceptions, the leaders lacked the courage to do so. Those that did were either murdered or went to prison before anything solid was completed.<br /><br />There have been many proposals 'talked about'. The US has tried to broker a deal. There is an Arab League proposal on the board. The French are trying to broker another deal. The Israelis and Palestinians have spent endless days sitting around tables talking about a deal. However, the concept has always been 'nothing is agreed until everything is agreed'; therefore, nothing is ever agreed. The concept of a brokered peace with third parties involved has always been rejected by Israel demanding instead two party talks with the PA. In every negotiation, the only agreement that was ever reached was an agreement to 'talk' about an agreement. It work for the leaders of both side, Israel and the corrupt leaders of the PA. The Israeli PM gets the rest of the world off his back and the PA leaders get rich on the backs of the Palestinians. A sweet deal.<br /><br />Both sides will always find some reason to never get to the final talks. The 'peace talks' have been going on for more than four decades. In that time, the reasons found for not reaching an agreement are legion. <br /><br />It's all kabuki and everyone involved knows it's kabuki. Polls show the vast majority of the Palestinians no longer believe in the process or that there will ever be a two-state solution. The right is growing more powerful in Israeli politics and a bill to legalize all existing West Bank settlements was easily passed on first readings in the Knesset. The process is underway. Only a fool would deny it.<br /><br />As for comparing someone to ISIS, it is now the same as comparing them to Nazis, silly vitriol used to close a conversation when you have nothing more to say.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-29391286840451484552016-12-22T08:59:55.174-05:002016-12-22T08:59:55.174-05:00The Palestinians embrace of Hamas (ISIS light) in...The Palestinians embrace of Hamas (ISIS light) in a Unity government is the reality and a obstacle to peace. <br /><br />Hamas is a recognized terrorist entity that embraces the concept of genocide of the Jews. Of course the reality also is that the PA is a major player in causing, supporting and training terrorists and their attacks on Israeli civilians. <br /><br />The issue of a peace treaty is simple. Many nations have border disputes. America does, Russia and China do. But the underlining issue is basic. Do the Palestinians accept the right for a Jewish state of Israel, within secure borders to exist? <br /><br />They (the palestinians) have EVERY right not too. Of course that also allows Israel to not to do anything to enable the creation of 22 arab state in the world. The moment the PA (Palestinians) JOINED with Hamas in a UNITY government? The Oslo Accords were ended. <br /><br />There will not be a "palestine", as a nation, until either Israel is destroyed or the Palestinians endorse a real viable acceptance of Israel, which includes, but not limited too, stopping the funding of thousands palesitnian terrorists in Israeli jail as heroes, incitement to jihad, rallying it's population to blood lust and more.<br /><br />Maybe it's time to be brutally honest. The national movement of the Palestinians is no different than the national movement of ISIS.<br /><br />They are feathers from the same bird.<br /><br />What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02054075097495500689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-86166185096661936962016-12-22T03:22:25.986-05:002016-12-22T03:22:25.986-05:00Taxes

Of course, I put away a lot of Ripple during my 20's maybe my memory isn't all that good.<br /><br />I remember a bunch of us were drinking at a club in Detroit. The host of one of Detroit's biggest rock radio stations was with us. I was drinking Ripple. They served it in those huge fishbowl glasses.

He is already kind of waffling on other campaign promises.<br /><br />His promise to move the US embassy to Jerusalem for instance. Other presidents have promised the same, Clinton, Bush; yet Clinton, Bush, and Obama have continued to sign the waivers every six months. And his people have already started talking about how it won't be happening right a way.<br /><br />I heard Trump called 'persuadable' today, indicating that president Trump might not actually be as firmly set as candidate appeared. Trump's new nominee for Israeli ambassador may favor the move but as I recall others like Mattis don't. He also indicated that the settlements were an obstacle to peace.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27245746434571747602016-12-22T01:05:24.369-05:002016-12-22T01:05:24.369-05:00Familiar from long ago....if I were to drink now I...Familiar from long ago....if I were to drink now I'd turn to Trump Winery....if I could, they don't ship to Idaho -<br /><br /><b>We ship to: CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IA, IL, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, VA, WA.</b><br /><br />http://trumpwinery.orderport.net/wines/White-and-Cru<br /><br />I'm taking The Donald's advice though, and staying off the stuff.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63308969116120552582016-12-22T00:59:22.978-05:002016-12-22T00:59:22.978-05:00I'm familiar with Ripple and Boone's Farm ...I'm familiar with Ripple and Boone's Farm but not Mad Dog or Thunderbird.<br /><br />Sounds like Quirk is familiar with all four....and more....Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52562947406118479712016-12-22T00:57:04.865-05:002016-12-22T00:57:04.865-05:00Rankings

Something in this syrupy hooch seems to have a synapse-blasting effect not unlike low-grade cocaine. The label insists that the ingredients are merely "citrus wine & grape wine with artificial flavor & artificial color," but anyone who has tried it knows better. Tales of Cisco-induced semi-psychotic fits are common. Often, people on a Cisco binge end up curled into a fetal ball, shuddering and muttering paranoid rants. Nudity and violence may well be involved too. Everyone who drinks this feels great at first, and claims, "It's not bad at all, I like it." But, you really do not want to mess around with this one, because they all sing a different tune a few minutes later. And by tune, I mean the psychotic ramblings of a raging naked bum.<br /> <br /> In 1991, Cisco's tendency to cause a temporary form of inebriated insanity led the Federal Trade Commission to require its bottlers to print a warning on the label (above right). The FTC also forced them to drop their marketing slogan, "Takes You by Surprise," even though it was entirely accurate. Read the FTC's full investigation on their own web page at this link. Since those days, Cisco is harder to find outside the slums, although the FTC's demonizing of the drink only bolstered its reputation for getting people trashed. Anyone who overlooks the warning and confuses this with a casual wine cooler is going to get more than they bargained for. Cisco will make a new man out of you. And he wants some too.<br /> <br /> Our research shows that Cisco is actually the second best tasting of the five great bum wines, especially if you're having one of those hankerings for cheap Vodka, Jello and Robitussin. We must also note that Cisco is the best of all 5 bum wines at putting the darkest and puffiest bags under your eyes. The nuclear-tinted color of "Cisco RED" is reminiscent of diesel fuel. Most Cisco flavors are named by the fruit flavor that they are trying to emulate, but the one picture is simply called "RED." This chemical disaster will get your head spinning in no time. A test subject reports, "Strawberry Cisco has a bouquet similar to that of Frankenberry cereal fermented in wine cooler with added sprinkle of brandy for presentation." The sticky, sickingly sweet taste with a hint of antifreeze really comes through in the repellant taste of Cisco. Avaliable in various flavors, 375 mL and 750mL sizes. Down a whole 750 mL and you had better be ready to clear your calendar as you suffer through Cisco's legendary 2 day hangover.<br /> <br />Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-40657219232658417102016-12-22T00:50:57.114-05:002016-12-22T00:50:57.114-05:00Don't fall for the 13%
