He said the PA would have no Jews. He got a free pass on this bigotry. Had an Israeli politician said that under any agreement, Israel would be Muslim free, I doubt he would have gotten a pat on the back from Mr. Kerry.<br /><br />I tire of these debates with people who know nothing about the history of Israel, much less the history of history of Israel in the 20th C. and the agreements, treaties, and resolutions that were made and then arbitrarily and capriciously broken as the matter of Britain's expediency. <br /><br />You do not need a Venn diagram or convoluted algorithm to draw the lines of dispute: A Jew is anyone born to a Jewish mother or a convert. The land is ours and we are going to keep it. Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel and we intend to keep it. For those who don't like this paradigm, come and take it.

But in order that this community should have the best prospect of free development and provide a full opportunity for the Jewish people to display its capacities, it is essential that it should know that it is in Palestine as of right and not on sufferance.” <br /><br />Winston Churchill<br />British Secretary of State for the Colonies <br />June 1922<br /><br />...containing map of original (1920) Mandate...<br /><br />http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htmallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605114251615293411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-2042563531471835712013-11-02T15:24:32.390-04:002013-11-02T15:24:32.390-04:00Well, let's draw some Venn diagrams.

Some offspring of Jewish mothers in the United States and elsewhere (perhaps even Tel Aviv) do not support a modern homeland in the Levant for Jews, so they are not Zionists. Some people who do support a modern homeland in the Levant for Jews are Christians, so they are not Jews. And some offspring of Jewish mothers do support a modern homeland in the Levant for Jews, so they are Jewish Zionists. As you can see, the claim that Zionism vs. Judaism is a false dichotomy is itself false, because there is not 100% correspondence.

Yet, in the Congo over the past 14 years, 5 million people have died and continue to die.<br /><br />The UN peacekeeping mission there is now about to change tactics and go on the offensive. What will be the result?<br /><br /><i>But the force is also an unparalleled gamble for the United Nations that challenges the basic principles of peacekeeping. It has orders to react offensively to enforce peace, essentially transforming peacekeepers into combatants. And it is openly supporting Congolese government forces, a move away from the principle of neutrality that has guided other U.N. missions.<br /><br />That could affect the United Nations’ ability to negotiate peace deals with the militias and risks deepening conflicts. Humanitarian agencies are worried that Congo’s brutal militias could see the entire U.N. mission, which also includes aid workers, monitors and civilian experts, as non-neutral potential targets.<br /><br />There are also concerns that the U.N. force is propping up a corrupt government and aiding an undisciplined military that has a history of human-rights abuses, including mass rapes. Many Congolese remain skeptical of the new brigade’s potential to eradicate the militias. Others have lofty expectations that could bring disappointment and further antagonism toward the U.N. mission...</i><br /><br />Others point to early successes in halting rebel activity.<br /><br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/in-volatile-congo-a-new-un-force-with-teeth/2013/11/01/0cda650c-423f-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html?tid=hpModule_949fa2be-8691-11e2-9d71-f0feafdd1394&hpid=z13<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-33648241229912337182013-11-02T13:37:44.407-04:002013-11-02T13:37:44.407-04:00.

A good is liquid and tradable if it can be easily exchanged for money or another different good. A good is fungible if one unit of the good is substantially equivalent to another unit of the same good of the same quality at the same time and place.<br />Fungibility does not imply liquidity, and liquidity does not imply fungibility. Jewels can be bought and sold (the trade is liquid), but individual diamonds are not interchangeable (diamonds are not fungible). Zimbabwean dollar bank notes are interchangeable in London (they are fungible there), but they are not easily traded there (they are not liquid in London).<br />Fungibility in economics<br /><br />Examples of highly fungible commodities are petroleum (gasoline), electricity, precious metals, and many currencies.<br />Fungibility has nothing to do with the ability to exchange one commodity for another. It has everything to do with exchanging one unit of a commodity with another unit of the same commodity.<br /><br />http://fungibility.askdefine.com/allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605114251615293411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85047450507111209892013-11-02T13:04:32.181-04:002013-11-02T13:04:32.181-04:00.
