Bush Assures Mideast Leaders That The U.S. Will Be Actively Engaged In The Process

[dmhphils]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Saudi Arabia''s King Abdullah discussed the latest regional and international developments by telephone Sunday evening.

...

Ahmadinejad warned that the Arab states need to remain vigilant for the plots and machinations of the Zionist enemy.

The Saudi king in the telephone contact asserted that they will never recognize Israel. He remarked that his country defends the rights of the Palestinians.
Remember - this is what the Iranians say that the Saudis said.

Ahmagonnajihad has ONE AGENDA folks......

You liberals.....isn''t the liberal mentality supposed to favor human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity etc.,??

But if the Jihad wins, wherever the Jihad wins, it is the END OF civil rights, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity etc. You libs won''t be able to stroll through the park with your sweaters tied around your necks and chatting about same sxx partners you''re jealous of.

Foreign Office,
November 2nd, 1917.

Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty''s Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
"His Majesty''s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.

Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour


" it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine"

is it not clear enough??

Arab rejectionism, the refusal to accept a non-subservient Jewish presence in the Middle East, has already been mentioned. This idea is the oldest and most intractable root of the conflict. But the most destructive set of ideas gaining currency today goes under the name of Islamic extremism (sometimes, unfortunately, called "Islamism"). This religiously inspired ideology is deeply anti-Semitic, dehumanizes Jews, and demands Israel''s destruction. It is also by nature expansionistic. While it does not necessarily demand universal conversion to Islam, it does believe in the destiny of Islam to dominate the entire world. We are seeing just the beginning of this in terrorist incidents, both attempted and successful, beyond the Middle East, using the same suicide bombing tactics first practiced against Israelis. The most dramatic example, of course, was 9/11. Since then there have been many others. The major cause of suicide bombing is not desperation, occupation, or economic disadvantage, as a study of these incidents and their perpetrators will prove. It is a religious ideology that makes one''s own death acceptable and even desirable.

You have been rocked to sleep with your liberal concoction of false peace, false love, total tolerance, and fear - noseface

the only ones rocked to sleep by fear are the bushies and their neocon friends selling us mushroom clouds, 3rd world war, and pre-emptive agressions...

all lies, real patriots know.

Occupation was never a part of Zionism''s agenda. Israel''s presence in the Palestinian territories is a direct result of a war the front-line Arab states planned and initiated, a war whose declared intent was Israel''s destruction.

I am posting this information on this board because there is so much anti-Israeli BS on here from willfully blind people like feelfree1 and the like. The only conclusion is they must be simply ignorant of the facts/.

Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people have a right to exist in peace and dignity in their own land, a land to which Jews have a historical connection and where Jews have always lived. Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel: there has been a continuous Jewish presence in that land since ancient times. In addition, Israel has provided a refuge and home for Jews escaping persecution from many parts of the world, not only from Europe after the Holocaust but also from Arab lands and the former Soviet Union, as well as other areas where life for Jews had become difficult. Together with Jews indigenous to the land they have built a nation based upon true democracy, which has contributed its share to the world''s cultural, technological, and scientific progress.

[neoconrcrazy]

the greedy zionists have made us "believe" for 60 years that they are defending "their right to exist" against all odds - millions of fanatical muslims armed to the teeth trying to cut their throats -

but the reality is an agressive zionist movement in America selling us daily this fiction, while back in israel they have taken what is not theirs to take, and relagated the local palestinian population to second class citizens, without rights, living under an apartheid regime.

give back what you''ve illegally taken israel, stop selling us your lame excuses, and rid the world of biggest breeding ground for new terror.

You people are so incredibly BLIND! You say you can''t discuss anything political with the kool-aid crowd, when that goes both ways sister.

You have been rocked to sleep with your liberal concoction of false peace, false love, total tolerance, and fear. You see only what you want to see because you have gouged out both eyes with your own hands.

ubrew12 , Not to worry, there''s nothing to bother about.

This was started by the Lame Duck who slept on this problem for seven years, fishing and golfing, and touring the country in his attempt to demolish SocSec., or privatize it to H''Burton, I assume. He always was a day late and a dollar short in all his endeavours.

His partners in the charade are
1) Olmert, a fellow who lost a war to little Lebanon last year after bombing civilian housing for a month, and has no mandate to demolish his illegal jewish settlements on usurped muslim land.
2) Abu Mazin, who lost the election to Hamas. He has no mandate from Hamas.
3) Rice, who gleefully prophesied last year "You are watching the birth pangs of a new Middle East" in response to Lebanese housing being bombed in the Zionist''s failed quest to eliminate Hizballah.

Did you expect anything to come of this farce?
