They are not quite self-sufficient, but than neither are we. One of the great things they have no one (that I know of) has is an incredible desalienation plant. It is pretty neat and with the scarcity of water the world will face one day; they have the technology so they will be a frontrunner on many fronts.


Desalienation is 20th century technology. Go to www.islandsky.com

Can you think of anything else Israel has contributed to the world? Can you give us an example of their self-suffiency?

I'm serious, no malice. Does Israel export anything? Are they simply a welfare state? Would our tax dollars not be better spent propping up some other country?

Israel obviously does not care about peace.

So, Obama, who does not have the experience to manage a hot dog cart on a Chicago street, tries to tell a sovereign country where to build an apartment complex. Obama is truly delusional if he thinks the Israelis, who will be around a lot longer than this clown Obama, are going to listen to his drivel. Message to Bibi...build, baby, build.

I've stated it before and I'll state it again: Religion poisons everything"


Every time you said that, you were wrong, Religion is just like a knife or gun, If a person does not pick it up and use it, it causes no damage. Therefore, Humans using religion 'CAN' (but not always) poison everything. Still don't have a clue, do you??? Religion doesn't poison humans, Humans poison religion

Israel is not to be blamed!

It is the American politicians who sell their own countries best interest to the Israeli, Saudi, and anyone else who can put money, women, or political gain in their pockets, bedrooms, or offices!

Israel is just acting on the American Political Systems method of Currency!

I use to be very Anti Israeli and Middle East but I boiled it all down and found out that it is our politicians who are the ones letting these little Middle East countries spoil out great Nation!

The MSM expects the rest of the world to fall at the feet of Obama like it does every day.That this is not happening is a healthy sign that self-esteem is still valued at least in other countries.







MSM: any news outlet that broadcasts the truth, and doesn't get their talking points from Limbaugh, Steele, and the Fox News "all-star team".

ISRAEL (who provoked no one) was attacked again and again and again...







You must have never heard of "nakba", huh?

That's when the Israeli's declared themselves a nation, and with brutal military force, EVICTED the native inhabitants from their homes and lands.

If that isn't "provocation", I have NO IDEA what is.
