israel has drained hundreds of billions of American taxpayers dollars for the last 60 yrs.

With what result?

And we talk about the poor Africans not accomplishing anything with other billions?

The only thing israel has to do is to renounce her zionist fantasies of taking over all of Palestine, which is not hers. She was at first allowed a "homeland", then she got a state. She must start acting like a "state" and recognize the rights of those who were there before her.

The Palestinians will never leave Palestine, it''s their home.

If there is one topic that most Americans can agree on, it is that the endless billions upon billions of U.S. tax dollar funded welfare payments, doled out to the Israelis year after year, is an incredibly poor investment of our resources.

But the message from the Palestinians has been not "land for peace" but "land for violence." After leaving Gaza, Israel was even making plans to withdraw from most of the West Bank. Then the Palestinians started using Gaza as a platform for shelling southern Israel. Instead of encouraging Israel''s withdrawal plans and agreeing to negotiate, Hezbollah and the Palestinians have have made it impossible for Israel to withdraw any further without placing its major cities directly within missile range.

Re: "But if the Jihad wins, wherever the Jihad wins, it is the END OF civil rights, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity etc."

Is there anything that the Zionist extremists are not afraid of? Is filling their pants their only defense?

Is there nothing for which they are not willing to sacrifice U.S. blood and treasure for?

The point here feely is that Israel doesn''t believe nor care about what we Christians say about Jesus returning, yet we do not let that divide us or keep us from loving Israel or the Jews.

Israelis are willing to have peace where the Jihadis are unwilling, therefore negotiations and talks are with the Reformists. If you understood half of what you claim to know, you wouldn''t bump into walls so ofter with your comments and rhetoric.

Re: "...which proves that Israel is willing to trade land for peace if it can be reasonably reassured that peace will come..."

Not Bignose, though. He''s not willing to resolve diddly until the return of Jeebus. Non-Zionist dupes need not apply with this poster.

"I said there will not be a lasting peace until Jesus returns..."- Bignose

But ever since the infamous 1967 Khartoum Conference, in which the Arab states flatly refused to negotiate with Israel after the Six Day War, Israel has not had a true partner for peace. The one exception was the treaty with Egypt and Israel''s withdrawal from the Sinai, which proves that Israel is willing to trade land for peace if it can be reasonably reassured that peace will come.

Most Israelis do not want to be occupiers. Awareness has been increasing in Israel that the settlement program was a mistake. Israel''s original reason for not immediately withdrawing from the territories was a concern that without a peace agreement, unilateral withdrawal would only restore the status quo ante, the same conditions that led to the war.

The "occupied territories" became occupied because Israel fought and won a defensive war instigated by Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon in June 1967. Clearly the Arab states wanted to destroy Israel before any Arab territories were "occupied."

Six years ago Israel withdrew from Lebanon. Hezbollah responded by lacing the border with close to 15,000 rockets of different types and using them on Israel''s cities.

Last year Israel withdrew from Gaza. The Palestinians responded by using their complete control of Gaza to turn it into a base for repeated rocket fire on Israel''s cities in the south.
