Comments on: Clinton Calls Israel's Actions "Unhelpful"

Alongside Palestinian Leader, Top U.S. Diplomat Says She'll Take New Israeli Leaders To Task

[edward1975-2009]

And Israel is tired of other countries trying to broker a peace with a Palestinian terrorist group that breaks every treaty, cease fire it has ever signed. Left to their own devices, Israel would handle this quickly and resolve this , by eliminating Hamas. It's the only way to bring a lasting peace and to allow the peaceful Palestians a chance to exist in harmony with Israel.

"Unhelpful"? "UNHELPFUL"???? How about "Barbaric". Why are we so afraid to call Israel on thier atrocities?

The sooner that everyone realizes that there will be both a secure Israel state and a Palestinian one, the better. Both sides think they are going to "win" and the other will lose. But the only possible outcome is dual statehood or a thousand years of war. There is no in between. Both sides are going to have to make consessions they don't want to make. But make them they are going to have to - e.g., a split capital in Jerusalem.

It will have to be the job of the US (primarily) to make both sides accept compromise. We are the only country that has the power to do so. I hear many peope complain about how Israel "controls" the US. That is nonsense. If anyhing, we control them, thanks to our huge foreign aid we give them. Proof of that is when Israel wanted to attack Iran's nuke plants. Bush said "no" and that was the end of that - no attack.

We have the power to make Israel and the Palestinians accept compromise. The influence of the terrorists is zero in this regard. However, the US is unwilling to do what it takes to force peace. We refuse to get tough. Really tough. We refuse to tell Israel they have to make peace or lose our funding. We refuse to tell the Palestinians that we will drop all our efforts to reign in Israel if they don't make an effort for peace. But we don't do this. It is time for the US to show tough love. Its the only way the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has a chance of ending.

Secretary Clinton may turn out to be more honest and straight forward than anyone expected. WELL DONE SECRETARY CLINTON.

It would also be nice if Secretary Clinton sought justice for those responsible for the 34 dead, and 173 wounded US Sailors from the USS Liberty. This country monitored for hours, knew it was a US Ship, and attacked it in neutral waters, with jets and boats. The thugs even shot up all of the ships life boats. When do the survivors and the families of the dead and wounded get reparation? The country who murdered wounded these sailors is Israel.

Palestine
originally denoted only the sea-coast of the land of Canaan inhabited by the Philistines and in this sense exclusively the Hebrew name Pelesheth occurs in the Old Testament. Not till a late period in Jewish history was this name used to denote "the land of the Hebrews" in general It is also called "the holy land" the "land of Jehovah" the "land of promise" because promised to Abraham the "land of Canaan" the "land of Israel" and the "land of Judah". The territory promised as an inheritance to the seed of Abraham was bounded on the east by the Euphrates, on the west by the Mediterranean, on the north by the "entrance of Hamath," and on the south by the Nile. This extent of territory, about 60,000 square miles, was at length conquered by David, and was ruled over also by his son Solomon. This vast empire was the Promised Land; but Palestine was only a part of it, terminating in the north at the southern extremity of the Lebanon range, and in the south in the wilderness of Paran, thus extending in all to about 144 miles in length. Its average breadth was about 60 miles from the Mediterranean on the west to beyond the Jordan. It has fittingly been designated "the least of all lands." Western Palestine, on the south of Gaza, is only about 40 miles in breadth from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea, narrowing gradually toward the north, where it is only 20 miles from the sea-coast to the Jordan. Palestine, "set in the midst" of all other lands, is the most remarkable country on the face of the earth. From an early period the land was inhabited by the descendants of Canaan, who retained possession from Sidon to Gaza till the the conquest by Joshua, when it was occupied by the twelve tribes. Two tribes and a half had their allotments given them by Moses on the east of the Jordan. The remaining tribes had their portion on the west of Jordan. From the conquest till the time of Saul, about four hundred years, the people were governed by judges. For a period of one hundred and twenty years the kingdom retained its unity while it was ruled by Saul and David and Solomon. On the death of Solomon, his son Rehoboam ascended the throne; but his conduct was such that ten of the tribes revolted, and formed an independent monarchy, called the kingdom of Israel, or the northern kingdom, the capital of which was first Shechem and afterwards Samaria. This kingdom was destroyed. The Israelites were carried captive by Shalmanezer, king of Assyria, B.C. 722, after an independent existence of two hundred and fifty-three years. The place of the captives carried away was supplied by tribes brought from the east, and thus was formed the Samaritan nation. Nebuchadnezzar came up against the kingdom of the two tribes, the kingdom of Judah, the capital of which was Jerusalem, one hundred and thirty-four years after the overthrow of the kingdom of Israel. He overthrew the city, plundered the temple, and carried the people into captivity to Babylon (B.C. 587), where they remained seventy years. At the close of the period of the Captivity, they returned to their own land, under the edict of Cyrus. They rebuilt the city and temple, and restored the old Jewish commonwealth. For a while after the Restoration the Jews were ruled by Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah, and afterwards by the high priests, assisted by the Sanhedrin. After the death of Alexander the Great at Babylon (B.C. 323), his vast empire was divided between his four generals. Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, and Coele-Syria fell to the lot of Ptolemy Lagus. Ptolemy took possession of Palestine in B.C. 320, and carried nearly one hundred thousand of the inhabitants of Jerusalem into Egypt. He made Alexandria the capital of his kingdom, and treated the Jews with consideration, confirming them in the enjoyment of many privileges. After suffering persecution at the hands of Ptolemy's successors, the Jews threw off the Egyptian yoke, and became subject to Antiochus the Great, the king of Syria. The cruelty and opression of the successors of Antiochus at length led to the revolt under the Maccabees (B.C. 163), when they threw off the Syrian yoke. In the year B.C. 68, Palestine was reduced by Pompey the Great to a Roman province. He laid the walls of the city in ruins, and massacred some twelve thousand of the inhabitants. He left the temple, however, unijured. About twenty-five years after this the Jews revolted and cast off the Roman yoke. They were then subdued by Herod the Great. The city and the temple were destroyed, and many of the inhabitants were put to death. About B.C. 20, Herod proceeded to rebuild the city and restore the ruined temple. He was succeeded by his son Archelaus, who was deprived of his power, however, by Augustus, A.D. 6, when Palestine became a Roman province, ruled by Roman governors. Pontius Pilate was the fifth of these governors. SNIP.....
