Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel will be taking steps - concrete steps, I might add - towards approaching the approach to the peace process. Though just what those steps will be I am not prepared to divulge at this time, but rest assured they are concrete steps, you have my word on it... President Barack Obama: ...And I, of course, believe you. Punk: Also, he wants to know if his check is ready.

They’re charging a few of their own for crimes committed in Gaza– that may be “window dressing”, but it IS a step forward for the Netanyahu regime.
History has shown that it is often our “friends” we should trust least. (Think WW II and Russia before taking this the wrong direction.)

The crossed fingers on both sides is rather cute. Let the obfuscating begin.

S’okay, Richard. It deserved the enlarged, bold font.
But otherwise, I’ve used this free little app for years:

The only acceptable action Bibi could make that would please trout and Howard is suicide.
Arafat turned down an offer of 90%+ of what he had requested because peace is the last thing Arab leaders want. Keep the masses in poverty and subjugation but just hate Israel.

I’ve seen something on French tv (TV5) yesterday; the White Intifada. i.e., the boycot of products made in jewish colonies.
I aprove that. It’s non violent.
Yet some still call that terrorism…
I wonder if they would call it terrorosm if it came from christians.
Motivemagus almost 14 years ago
Yeah, of course the French are utter hypocrites about this: they have toadied to the Arab nations that supplied their oil for ages, including supporting such high points of civilization as Muammar Kadafy. Not that the US is being much better, but to put it in context…

Both sides have demands that the other will never meet.
The Arabs want the “right of return,” which, in a democratic “Holy Land,” would leave the Jews in the powerless position of the Israeli Arabs.
On the other side it’s; We got to come back after what the Egyptions & Babalonians did, then the Romans threw us out. Can’t we just have a country here? Sadly, not a peaceful one.
I think God has shown that any claim that a place is “Holy” dooms it to eternal strife. Watch your back, Rome. Maybe it’s better that we don’t remember what stonehenge was about.
There is nothing Holy, but the one true God. No Holy spring, mountain, city or land. No Holy personage. No Holy book. In the beginning there was nothing, & nothing was Holy. Then God created the universe. Which was widely viewed as a bad idea.
Someone else can build a religion around a 3rd rate science fiction author, I’ll go with the guy out of left field.

CRL29P, you need to pay more attention.
Your idealistic god doesn’t exist.
And for your last statement, if Hubbard isn’t left field enough, who else are you considering?

To have peace both sides must compromise. Please tell me what compromises the Palestinians wish to recieve and what they are prepared to give up?
BTW, what is a Jewish colony? Please be specific. I know the US was an English colony 3000 miles away. Similarly India,

We don’t have anything to give because everything was stolen from us ..and I don’t think that the thief will compramise and give us something..
By the way ,we don’t see any significant difference between the Obama administration and the one before it in terms of pressuring Israel to stop it’s occupation .
The Amirecan administration has joined the Netayahu goverment in making lies about the peace..no good is coming out of these lies..and the Palestinian people is aware of that..

^ Then you will never have peace. Only death and Israel has many more weapons than you.
Thank you for your honesty. American liberals somehow think that there can ever be peace. As long as you and the majority of your brethren feel the way you do there can be no negotiations, no pact and no closure.
What lies about peace? That you are intransigent and don’t really want peace only total victory.

“American liberals somehow think that there can ever be peace.”

^Would you make peace, recognize the existence of the State of Israel and stop all warfare, bombing, rockets, and suicide missions?

From Wiki
The Second or Al-Aqsa Intifada started concurrent with the breakdown of talks at Camp David with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud The Intifada never ended officially, but violence hit relatively low levels during 2005. The death toll both military and civilians of the entire conflict in 2000-2004 is estimated to be 3,223 Palestinians and 950 Israelis, although this number is criticized for not differentiating between combatants and civilians. Members of the PLO have claimed responsibility for a number of attacks against Israelis during the Second Intifada

I tried but It had been deleted from the server- maybe too old?
riley05 almost 14 years ago
The URL got screwed up by the forum’s formatting command. The name of the last subfolder should have underscores between “crimes” and “against”, and between “against” and “christianity”.
Or just go to http://www.jerusalemites.org/crimes/ and click on “Crimes against Christianity” and then on “Destruction and Desecration of Christian Holy Places after 1948”.

The notorious protocols of Zion. Hitler loved the earlier version and he acted on them. Way to make a point.
