Comments on: Obama's Stance Infuriates Israeli Settlers

Israelis Living In West Bank Settlements Feel "Betrayal", Fear As U.S. Leader Changes The Decades-Old Status Quo

[YrSoWrong]

It's time that a President spoke-up for the values of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of Amerca: that the dictators, kings, mystics and warlords of the Near East are our enemies not because of Israel but because of what they are with-or-without Israel. If Israel is an imperfect republic, their enemies are perfect monstrosities, and should be condemned by anyone -- and they are, except for the Quislings that post to this blog and confuse their own dementia as the state-writ-large.

To the ovens of Europe?

It's about time an American president has had the balls to denounce the criminal enlargement of the Israeli settlements on the West Bank. This has been against the law for many years but nobody has stood up to them before now. In order for ANY progress to be made in the Middle East, the Israelis have to realise that THEY are the ultimate aggressors in this situation.

If it hadn't been for the British dividing up the Middle East after World War I, the Israelis wouldn't have had the opportunity to steal the land the Palestinians have lived on for millennia. Until a 'two-state solution' is adopted, and it's highly unlikely under Netanyahu's administration, NO progress will ever be made. Now that Obama has laid down the gauntlet, let's see if something concrete can actually come of this.

It has been speculated that Obama's speech in Cairo last week helped lead to the defeat of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and hopefully the same will be the case in Iran tomorrow. Obama's 'reach out and touch someone' policy is the best attempt yet at trying to reconcile this dilemma that has been stewing since the 60s when Israel conquered the Palestinian territories and started their 'settlements'. In the meantime, there are millions of Palestinian refugees that have been created because of this.

I hope your family hasn't suffered. Do you live in what the world knows as an illegal settlement? If you do, my advice is to move for now...

A true democracy is what is called mob rule. They have a true democracy on the streets of Gaza and they don't need unification with Israel to perfect it. C'mon, this gibberish talk of 1 state knowingly endorses the traditional rule of force that exists throughout the Arab world and would bring this down on the Jews. It's a republic, not a democracy, that guarantees the rights of individuals. But it's not the rights of individuals that Jihadists want, it's the rule of blood and soil, same as the European facists who influenced Arab nationalism as an anti-British propaganda weapon.

Dear Mr. Obama.

I live with my family in Bet-shemesh in Israel, About 50 kilometers from Gaza crow flies.
Lucky, the missiles did not arrive to us.
I have misunderstanding about your ideas.
When you talk about two stats, practically, what do you mean?
Do you mean the Palestinians will have an independent country?
If so, if I understand correctly, the intention is to allow them to build Ports, Railways & Airports?
If so, if I understand correctly, they will be able to import any product they want?
If so, if I understand correctly, this also includes all kinds of weapon?
If the answer is still yes, I wish you go to hell.

With friends like that, who needs enemies.

Ofer, Israel.

President Obama says it has to stop. No more construction, period. "

EXCELLENT!
It's about time someone puts his foot down an stops the land grab, telling them I hope that SANCTIONS and cut off of all aid will result if it continues.
It is our tax dollars pouring into their coffers in various way and they keep playing us for the suckers we are, we are Isfake's guard dog.

I need to do some research.

Why ? I don't know, but the texture and constiency is very unique, not like italian or french bread.....flakey crust and made with lard

I mean, for those who make it, it's easy, but to you and I, it's not your typical bread you'd find anywhere

[gravyboat3000]

I need the recipe for baking the cuban bread.

To make cuban montega (spelling?) bread is difficult, and I've only found it in the Bronx,NY or certain parts of Florida
