32. The actions of the Palestinians since 1967
Fri Jan 27, 2012, 09:08 PM
Jan 2012

are not indistinguishable from the actions of the other Arab countries prior to that.

Consider the stated position of Hamas, Fatah etc on the existence of Israel ProgressiveProfessor Jan 2012 #1
Did you actually watch the debate? Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #35
Don't you just hate it when a Republican is actually right about something? Fozzledick Jan 2012 #2
Romney isn't actually right. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #5
No, in order to be for peace you just have to be against continuing the war. Fozzledick Jan 2012 #7
The war can only end when Israelis treat Palestinians with equal respect Ken Burch Jan 2012 #8
Um, if Israeli treated Palestinians with "equal respect"... Fozzledick Jan 2012 #11
Too funny! +1 n/t shira Jan 2012 #26
To be for peace you have to stop trying to kill Jews. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #20
It's never been about "killing Jews"-stop using such terminology. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #22
So routine wars of extermination launched by the Arabs tell us what exactly? hack89 Jan 2012 #25
The actions of the Palestinians since 1967 Ken Burch Jan 2012 #32
'Romney, like you, is against peace between Israel and Palestine. ' King_David Jan 2012 #28
You're in love with the word "disgusting" today, for some reason. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #33
Yea , I would also be trying to switch topic nt King_David Jan 2012 #38
I've said nothing that deserved to be called disgusting. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #42
Whatever nt King_David Jan 2012 #43
Just the fact that the PLO and Hamas will never budge on RoR... shira Jan 2012 #3
Actually, you don't know that they'll never budge Ken Burch Jan 2012 #4
Check out the links from my last post before yours... shira Jan 2012 #6
I do want peace Ken Burch Jan 2012 #9
Really? So why haven't you ever once condemned the PA.... shira Jan 2012 #10
I HAVE said the PA should have made a counter-proposal during Oslo. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #14
I haven't seen anyone on your side saying that or criticizing the PA for that... shira Jan 2012 #16
I'm not absolutely on any one "side" Ken Burch Jan 2012 #17
Gee, "peace-through-victory" worked fine with Germany and Japan. Fozzledick Jan 2012 #12
Palestine is not Hitler's Germany or Imperial Japan-and Palestinians are not Nazis or neo-samurai. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #13
They may not be samurai, but "Judenrein" is EXACTLY what they want. Fozzledick Jan 2012 #18
Of course they CLAIMED to have such grievances:that doesn't mean they actually did Ken Burch Jan 2012 #21
Do you believe Hamas is a genocidal totalitarian aggressive outfit? shira Jan 2012 #19
I don't like Hamas and I don't support them. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #23
The point is they don't want a two-state solution, they do want to eliminate Israel Fozzledick Jan 2012 #24
The way to stop Hamas, then, is to actually create a REAL two-state solution. Ken Burch Jan 2012 #31
So you would have Israel unilaterally impose a 2 state solution... Fozzledick Jan 2012 #36
I wanted an honest answer to that question... shira Jan 2012 #27
I said I'm against them-why do I have to use YOUR exact phraseology? Ken Burch Jan 2012 #30
As I thought. You know damned well they're a genocidal, psychotic collective... shira Jan 2012 #37
I'm against Hamas. They are violent and extreme-but "genocidal"? Ken Burch Jan 2012 #39
Yeah, they're genocidal. Here's some damning evidence I want you to comment on... shira Jan 2012 #90
Sorry for all the videos. If someone knows how to get rid of the videos... shira Jan 2012 #91
Why do want to get rid of the videos and keep only the links? Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #93
Post #90 is an eye opener into my perspective. How so? N/T shira Jan 2012 #94
You posted them, they don't reflect your perspective?? n/t Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #95
Of course they reflect my perspective... shira Jan 2012 #96
Your sources speak to your perspective, whether I agree with it or not Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #97
You're twisting my words, again Ken Burch Jan 2012 #98
Ken, you didn't comment on what was or wasn't genocidal... shira Jan 2012 #99
What I'm saying is that, loathesome as they are, Hamas are not more important Ken Burch Jan 2012 #100
You're assuming Hamas and the PLO will stop with the genocidal incitement... shira Jan 2012 #101
By "your way", I mean the idea of assuming the whole thing is the Palestinians' fault Ken Burch Feb 2012 #102
I didn't say that. But settlements and occupation aren't even close to the primary... shira Feb 2012 #103
There's no justification for any Israeli annexation of ANY part of the West Bank Ken Burch Feb 2012 #104
The Palestinians will never agree to any reasonable Israeli offer... shira Feb 2012 #105
That is the most disgusting collection jimmie Feb 2012 #107
Team Palestine never voices any concern WRT all this hateful indoctrination... shira Feb 2012 #109
The reason you need to address Hamas being a genocidal totalitarian aggressor Fozzledick Jan 2012 #40
Actually, "disgusting" is King David's word-of-the-day Ken Burch Jan 2012 #41
'Genocidal' is also the word of the day... Violet_Crumble Jan 2012 #46
Ooh, now there's a wonderful way of concealing the truth without *technically* lying... Donald Ian Rankin Jan 2012 #51
I'm not concealing any truth... shira Jan 2012 #89
The Republican response was predictable, and they are consistent. Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #15
i wonder how much sheldon adelson should pay for an outburst like this shaayecanaan Jan 2012 #29
Adelson is supporting Gingrich not Romney oberliner Jan 2012 #54
OK...how much of a refund should Adelson get from Newt, then? Ken Burch Jan 2012 #66
I watched that debate, and that was horrifying. Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #34
I didn't see the debate. Do you know if it's available online? Violet_Crumble Jan 2012 #45
Found it. Wasn't as bad as I remembered Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #47
OMG! I don't know if I should be thanking or cursing you for what I saw in the first few minutes! Violet_Crumble Jan 2012 #48
Oh, the debates are awesome! Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #64
Why would "Republican of Palestinian heritage" be bizarre? oberliner Jan 2012 #58
Well, a lot of Arab-Americans, including Palestinian-Americans Ken Burch Jan 2012 #77
You are wrong about one thing oberliner Jan 2012 #50
Yes - and neither did Rick Santorum Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #62
Rick, I would think, would be in with Romney/Gingrich on the matter oberliner Jan 2012 #65
From what I have seen, I have no doubt. Ruby the Liberal Jan 2012 #70
interesting responses to this azurnoir Jan 2012 #44
No it doesn't oberliner Jan 2012 #56
where are you seeing 2? n/t azurnoir Jan 2012 #72
In this thread oberliner Jan 2012 #73
well I wasn't speaking of the thread azurnoir Jan 2012 #74
No it wouldn't oberliner Jan 2012 #75
His answer was off the charts oberliner Jan 2012 #49
I agree Harmony Blue Jan 2012 #59
There is only one side that does not want a two-state solution, and it is not the Palestinians. Donald Ian Rankin Jan 2012 #52
That is definitely not true oberliner Jan 2012 #55
What I said was true, some of what you say is a simple lie. Donald Ian Rankin Jan 2012 #60
Everything you said was not true and nothing that I said was a lie oberliner Jan 2012 #61
Or look at some election results? Donald Ian Rankin Jan 2012 #63
Palestinian negotiators accept Jewish state, papers reveal shaayecanaan Jan 2012 #67
Three panderers and a fool. aranthus Jan 2012 #53
The Palestinian-American Republican was certainly not pandered to by Romney oberliner Jan 2012 #57
I don't think that pandering to the Palestinians has ever been a significant problem shaayecanaan Jan 2012 #68
Indeed not oberliner Jan 2012 #71
Romney is not the least bit subtle. aranthus Jan 2012 #92
Gingrich’s Extremist Anti-Palestinian Stance Follows Millions from Casino Magnate Sheldon Adelson Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #69
Other way around oberliner Jan 2012 #76
The influence came from Adelson first, Gingrich's position changed from that point: Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #78
No it didn't oberliner Jan 2012 #79
In your opinion it did not..the OP includes documents of what he said in his position papers. Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #80
See my post below oberliner Jan 2012 #84
He's clearly angling for donations, though... shaayecanaan Jan 2012 #82
Gingrich accused Palestinians of "Nazi-like behavior" in 1997 (pre-Adelson) oberliner Jan 2012 #81
You seem to think that the earlier OP was suggesting Gingrich Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #83
"Nazi-like" is more than just not having a love fest oberliner Jan 2012 #85
Slightly more left? Well, we disagree and I do not see support for Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #86
If you can stomach it, check out the Rumsfeld papers oberliner Jan 2012 #87
There are two OP's posted here, one embedded within the other, Jefferson23 Jan 2012 #88
Neither does Israel AnOhioan Feb 2012 #106
As much as I hate to admit it, Romney is correct Liora24 Feb 2012 #108
