We are controlled by war-profiteering corporations who have aliens from another dimention for friends. They plan to kill off a whole lot of us because they consider us to be excess baggage.So then How do You explain it?Corporations have the rights of people without any of the things that make people human, like love, empathy, compassion.
Yea, obviously the democrats are the cause of all the problems. What else could it possibly be??? It must be nice to live with such a simple minded world view. No thought required.
jack75287: I’ll take it further, and say that Palestiians already have their own state. It’s called Jordan. science.co.il says it succinctly: “In 1917 Great Britain issued the Balfour Declaration for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”. In 1922 Britain allocated nearly 80% of Palestine to Transjordan. Thus, Jordan covers the majority of the land of Palestine under British Mandate. Jordan also includes the majority of the Arabs who lived there. In other words, Jordan is the Arab portion of Palestine.
The toon well illustrates what’s been left after either the U.S. or Israel, “defend themselves”. Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Beirut and southern Lebanon, dead civilians as well, and yes, we told Iraqis we were going to bomb soon as well, but where could they go? The arguments we and our “friends” use, are no more valid than the radicals we’re supposed to be opposing. Count bodies and consider who those folks were, and what were their dreams, not OUR assumptions about them.
Doughfoot: in your response to my comment, and your response to omQ, you, IMO, demonstrate once again your broad knowledge, and even understanding, of the situation in the area of Israel. My point was simply to note that Palestine is not just a portion (i.e., all) of the country of Israel, which seems to be the official attitude of many Muslim governments. Now add in the goal of a greater Caliphate, which is counter to the very idea of nation states, and I conclude that the calls for a “nation of Palestine” are disengenuous at best.

So much for the Obama-Clinton-Kerry guarantees of mid-east peace . . .

The hostiles are kept alive because both sides hate each other. I’m not saying someone’s not profiting off it, I’m saying it’s not the driving force.
