How many times have I said there would be no two-state solution?<br /><br />What I am doing is calling bull-shit on WiO's constant complaint 'Israeli has offered the Palestinian's a state numerous times in the past and the Palestinians keep refusing it."<br /><br />The Israeli's don't offer Palestine an actual state. They offer them a state in name only. They offer trinkets for the natives. They don't negotiate they demand. WiO talks about 2000 and cites what he calls common knowledge. It may be common to low-information or low-intelligence people who are fed their talking points by AIPAC, Likud, and Bill Clinton who had already pick out the furniture for the 'Bill Clinton Middle East Peace Room' in his presidential library but not to people who actually read what Israel was putting on the table.<br /><br />I put a link up. Read it. Then come back to me and we can talk; otherwise don't bother me with your stupid straw man. You are starting to get me pissed and it's a little early in the morning to be calling you out for your bullshit.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-4531181760958007252016-03-15T09:05:08.945-04:002016-03-15T09:05:08.945-04:00.

The Left’s bullies cannot be all...Arrest the Thugs<br /><br />The Left’s bullies cannot be allowed to hijack freedom of speech for an entire nation. <br /><br />March 15, 2016 <br /><br />First the Left unleashed anti-war rallies against President Bush in support of Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda. Then it brought out Occupy Wall Street to push the radical Marxist agenda that Bernie Sanders is now riding like a red wave through the Democratic Party. Finally, it unleashed the racist hate mobs that looted and burned neighborhoods and cities, singled out white people for harassment over the color of their skin, terrorized campuses and incited the murder of police officers. <br /><br />The common agenda of all these hateful campaigns was to radicalize, intimidate and terrorize Americans into submitting to the totalitarians of the Left. From the inner city neighborhood to the Ivy League campus, from a couple having brunch in the morning to a police officer on patrol being shot in the head, from a political rally to the Thanksgiving Day parade, these thugs of the Left are out to enforce their tyrannical Party Line through political terror.<br /><br />While the media call these so-called protesters “non-violent,” they completely ignore the fact that suppressing someone else's free speech is an act of intimidation. To prevent someone else from speaking is not a debate. It's the refusal to have a debate. Protesters have the right to be heard, but silencing views you disagree with is not a protest. It is the exercise of totalitarian power. And the Left’s organized efforts to prevent opposing points of view from being heard have now migrated from the campus to the city. The media call these crybullies the victims. But they are not victims. They are thugs who are using brute force to suppress the free speech and political freedoms of others. <br /><br />Donald Trump has as much right to hold a rally as Bernie Sanders. His supporters have as much right to come out to hear him speak. The Left's refusal to accept this is a definitive rejection of freedom of speech and democracy.<br /><br />For all his faults, Donald Trump is to be commended for standing up against all this, and for his cool under fire. When a leftist fascist attempted to attack him recently at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, and succeeded in grabbing his foot before he was subdued by Secret Service agents, Trump quipped: “I was ready for him but it’s much easier if the cops do it, don’t we agree?”<br /><br /> .<br />Trump’s opponents, both Republican and Democrat, and the Obama administration should realize what’s at stake – if, that is, they have any interest in preserving the American tradition of non-violent political disagreement. The unseemly haste of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and John Kasich to blame Trump’s rhetoric for the violent shutdown of his Chicago rally is extraordinarily disappointing: they should realize that the same violence can and will be turned against them if they stray too far from the thugs’ idea of what constitutes acceptable political discourse. <br /><br />There is only one answer to a movement that is determined to thuggishly shut down the speech of others. And that is prison....<br />Idaho Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-22990037109912033152016-03-15T06:06:35.454-04:002016-03-15T06:06:35.454-04:00Oh yes indeed, our Obama followed 'the Putin/G...Oh yes indeed, our Obama followed 'the Putin/G.H.W.Bush way' (in a different situation) and pulled all the troops home from Iraq, and look at Iraq now....world class savagery....<br /><br />So it must all depend on......?<br /><br />Idaho Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-14476365619072296412016-03-15T05:54:28.869-04:002016-03-15T05:54:28.869-04:00:)

I guess you'd expect that at a leftist rally with Bill Ayers in attendance. <br /><br />It was the Mexican flags that caught my attention. <br /><br />I don't know for sure who was holding the flags but my reaction was the same. In other words, do these kids understand how Mexico treats illegal immigrants or even legal foreigners engaged in politics? <br /><br />Let's take a look at Mexico's immigration laws:<br /><br /><br />What would Mexico do? The answer is easy: deport them on the spot. In 2002, a dozen American college students, in Mexico legally, participated peacefully in an environmental protest against a planned airport outside of Mexico City. They swiftly found themselves deported as law-breakers for interfering in Mexico’s internal affairs.<br /><br />Another person had a sign that read: "Liberation not deportation".<br /><br />What in the world does that mean? Does the young woman understand that every country has immigration laws and deports people violating them?<br /><br />Donald Trump is not my candidate. He has made some foolish remarks over time, specially his "in your face" campaign talking point that Mexico will pay for the wall. The "rapists" and "criminals" lines painted way too many people with the same brush. <br /><br />At the same time, opposing a Trump visit by waving a Mexican flag shows incredible ignorance of Mexico and what Trump is saying.<br /><br />P.S.

Nonsense.
What has that to do with the alleged....<br /><br />Nonsense.<br /><br />What has that to do with the alleged Israeli offer you mentioned from 1973? Are you denying your comment on the Israeli offer in 1973. If not, give me the details or a link so that we have something to talk about.<br /><br />As for Clinton, get specific, what offer are you talking about and when? There have agreements, well actually, principles agreed to going back to Carter, Nobel prizes have been handed out, but all they amount to are agreements to negotiate. They never seem to get around to talking about actual issues, Jerusalem, right of return, borders. When there is a sympathetic Israeli PM actually willing to talk about these issues, he seems to get bumped off by the Israeli right or to go to prison for corruption. Such was the case through the 90's with the Oslo Accords.<br /><br />If you are talking about the 2000 Camp David Summit, that's a different matter.<br /><br />You can read about the Summit here including the positions of both sides,<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Camp_David_Summit<br /><br />Strictly my opinion, but agreeing to what was offered by Barak and Clinton would have not amounted to negotiations but rather to a complete capitulation on the part of the Palestinians.<br /><br />As I jokingly noted on the last stream, offering someone a Hobson's Choice is not a negotiation it is 'making them an offer they can't refuse'.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br /><br />So I ask again, so that we can talk about specifics, what offer are you talking about?<br /><br />. <br /><br /><br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-4098209207189065362016-03-15T01:14:43.584-04:002016-03-15T01:14:43.584-04:00https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/NewsReports/566736-syr...https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/NewsReports/566736-syria-jet-purportedly-downed-by-surface-to-air-missile<br /><br />maybe Putin is getting out before he loses his airforce?<br /><br /><br />BEIRUT – Syrian rebels near Hama purportedly downed a regime fighter jet with a surface-to-air missile, according to one of the videos that emerged from the mysterious incident, contradicting previous rebel claims that anti-aircraft fire brought down the plane. <br /> <br />On March 12, the Jaysh al-Islam rebel group claimed responsibility for the shoot down of a MiG-21 jet conducting bombing raids over Kafr Nabudah, a small town 40 kilometers northwest of Hama.<br /> <br />The rebel faction stressed on Twitter that it had downed the jet with an anti-aircraft gun, releasing a video showing insurgents firing the weapon system—which was mounted on a pick-up truck—in the direction of the plane.What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02054075097495500689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-70357684133064115992016-03-15T01:14:04.482-04:002016-03-15T01:14:04.482-04:00It's common knowledge that the USA under Clint...It's common knowledge that the USA under Clinton made an offer to both the palestinians and the israelis, the israelis accepted it and the palestinians refused.<br /><br />What do you want?<br /><br />the easy button?<br /><br />What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02054075097495500689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-3927034369664365412016-03-15T00:51:13.716-04:002016-03-15T00:51:13.716-04:00.

Does that make you a truther or merely credulous? You are continuously offering up factoids here and when they are checked out many prove to be false.<br />Don't I have the right based on passed experience to be a bit skeptical?<br /><br />An example (from the last stream):<br /><br /><i>What is "Occupation"Mon Mar 14, 01:45:00 PM EDT<br /><br />In 1973 Israel offered to give up the west bank for peace and the collective arab world famously said NO...</i><br /><br />I don't recall that (well, to be honest in 1973 I was too busy hitting the bars and partying to be worrying about Israel). What I should have said is having gone around on these issues with you before I don't recall seeing anything about Israel making a peace offer to the Palestinians in 1973. All I recall is the 1973 war.<br /><br />I took a quick look for what Golda Meir was doing or saying or offering in 1973 regarding the West Bank. Couldn't find anything specific. The only things that came close from 1973 were...<br /><br />1. <i>Arab sovereignty in Jerusalem just cannot be. This city will not be divided — not half and half, not 60-40, not 75-25, nothing.</i><br /> <br />o Time (19 February 1973)<br /><br />https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Golda_Meir<br /><br /><br />2. <i>In July 1973, only three months before the outbreak of the war, Meir announced that it was her intention to "hold on to every inch of occupied territory until the Arabs [are] ready to negotiate — on Israel's terms."6</i><br /><br />Of course, the main thing is that I couldn't find anything indicating Golda Meir made any new proposals regarding the the Israeli/Palestinian peace process.<br /><br />http://www.mepc.org/journal/middle-east-policy-archives/1973-war-link-israeli-egyptian-peace<br /><br /><br />Yet, you insult me for asking for a link?<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-29864108865732284042016-03-15T00:03:57.574-04:002016-03-15T00:03:57.574-04:00Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, re...<i>Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, recently toughened her rhetoric on TPP after losing the Michigan primary to rival Bernie Sanders.
