Why do you think it is SO important to the POTUS that there be a Palestinian State?

Bahaqhahahah! Some people are just so touchy!!!

Cpl Jeff N. Now this is a independent source, but I also heard the admin brought in more voters that were sided with the other candidate. Now is that true?? IDK. At the same time, I wouldn't put it pass him. What concerns me is that the people of Israel have obviously spoken and DO NOT want a Palestinian State. One thing I am sure, is that they are very worried about their entire existence.

Nope. I'm an NPR or BBC kind of guy..

Also smart enough to know that labels like conservative or liberal are meaningless drivel, intended only to divide. Do you really think you're such a simple minded fool that one word can define you? Can encapsulate all you are, think, believe and feel? I doubt it. Human beings are far too complex for that. No one of us is so narrow minded that one word can be attributed to our every belief. Every one of us has some beliefs that can be labeled liberal or conservative.. The world isn't as simple as the talking heads on TV would have you believe.

Yeah,,, let's hear it for NPR. At least George Soros doesn't control them.

Sadly Rallypoint is just America in a Microcosm. Everyone's just repeating the party line from their party/channel of choice. As a general rule, foreign is more unbiased.

Now in that vertical assemblage read all of the Capital letters from top to bottom.

Actually the Israelis have offered it to them time and again at negotiating tables and, when offered, the Palestinian negotiators have walked away every time.
Israel would be content for the hostilities to Cease - Palestine wants the whole land without the Israelis and will not be content with any solution that leaves Israel either intact or defensible.

Anyone that can't answer the questions I asked should not even comment because you have no idea what you are talking about.

Israel and Palestine came into being in 1948. The UN passed a two state solution to give both groups their own land. Israel agreed but Palestine and other countries that would be effected did not. The UN passed it anyway. So from that point on Israel is an occupying force, by claiming land without reaching an agreement. But it gets worse, the day after signing, Israel went to war with its neighbors and took more land displacing 700,000 Arabs and since then has taken more land. Now Palestine wants the land back that the UN RESOLUTION says is theirs. Netanyahu has stated that he does not recognize Palestine as a nation and wants the rest of the Palestinian land.

So why does Palestine hate us? For one reason, because we arm, support, and fund israel's occupation of Palestinian land. So Palestine has every right to be a country and if Netanyahu keeps denying peace talks and refuses to recognize the sovereignty of Palestine. America should withdraw it's support for Israel and help the UN ensure Palestine remains safe from Israel.

the UN should protect the sovereignty of Palestine just like it protects the sovereignty of Ukraine

my questions were why does Palestine not deserve to be a country. You didn't answer that. And why do they hate America. You didn't answer that either. And don't put words in my mouth I never said Palestinians have done no wrong. I stated the facts that went down when Israel was established and what Netanyahu just said a few days ago. I speak on reality and not some blind loyalty to a foreign country.

To answer both, the Palestinians should have their own land, but fear of out right killing among them has kept us meddling in their business and therefore keeping them from engaging in a dialogue. On 2019 the US will celebrate 100 years of the 19 Amendment history has proven that women have not done what men feared they would do. The same applies to the Palestinian and Israel issue. Here is food for thought the issue is not them but nature, the land and water is not enough to sustain all humans there, so nature has its laws which means either people cooperate and work together, or move or kill themselves. So if Americans truly want to help offer up some land to both these people, other wise we need to stop meddling and let them solve their own problems.

If I was president this is what I would do: tell Netanyahu to give back sll the land you took from Palestine or lose all American support. And he would agree because all of his surrounding countries are enemies and the only way they could exist is if we back them. This would also improve the opinion of Americans amongst Arabs in the middle east. Once he gives back the land I will tell the surrounding countries that any hostile act against Israel will be seen as an act of war and we will wipe them off the map. I would tell Netanyahu any hostile act by him will be seen as an act of war and he will lose all American support

The problem is that the land can not sustain so many humans and Mother Nature solves the problems by survival of the fittest. So either they work together or they kill each other, Mother Nature has laws that people do not accept.

Try this: The problem is that the land can not sustain so many humans and Mother Nature solves the problems by survival of the fittest. So either they work together or they kill each other, Mother Nature has laws that people do not accept.

Absolutely! It helps that he is trying to fix a bit of the mess he created with John Bohner

Hmmm, see that's where we would have to disagree, respectfully of course. I think he did a fantastic job speaking and the POTUS was aware, so no mess at all. Well, the POTUS is a mess. lol.

I'm a bit older and I seem to recall 2 democrats in congress involving themselves in foreign policy to the extent of contacting a Prime Minister. Ronald Reagan and the GOP were pretty upset, considered trying them under the Logan Act, and although I don't agree with President Obama, he won the election. If I were still serving, I'd respect the fact he's our President, regardless of my political views. Btw, my first ever vote was for Reagan.

Veronica, that is what happens when we meddle in things that are outside our control, Bibi is a good chess player.
