Strasburg, Cain looking to build momentum
Nationals right-hander coming off eight-inning gem in San Diego
Before this season began, the pitching matchup fans will be treated to Tuesday night when the Washington Nationals visit the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park would have been billed as a duel between two of baseball's best.
And it still could very well be by the time the season is over.
But for now, the Stephen Strasburg vs. Matt Cain tilt will be one pitting two right-handers who could, should and probably will be better than they've been early this season.
Strasburg should have plenty of confidence after his last start, a gem in the first game he's pitched as a big leaguer in his hometown of San Diego. Strasburg came into that effort on a personal five-game losing streak, but he snapped out of it in style, logging a career-high eight innings in a victory. He improved to 2-5 and lowered his season ERA to 2.83.
"It was only going to be a matter of time," Strasburg said. "I just want to go out there and do a better job of having a better mound presence out there, relax and go out there and do my thing."
Cain, a perennial Cy Young Award contender who threw a perfect game last year in the Giants' second World Series championship season, has suffered through his own share of rough patches so far this year, but he, too, has looked better of late.
Cain was the victorious pitcher in the Giants' 8-6 win over the Rockies last Thursday, and it marked his third win in a row, but he was not particularly effective, yielding three home runs and spotting Colorado a 6-0 lead that San Francisco would eventually surmount.
Cain has now allowed three homers in a game three times and leads the Majors in long balls surrendered with 13. Then again, he bore down, retiring 13 of the last 15 batters he faced. He'll try to build on that momentum when he takes the ball Tuesday.
"I really had nothing else to lose," Cain said.
Nationals: One streak ends
First baseman Adam LaRoche went hitless in the Nationals' shutout loss to the Giants on Monday, snapping a 16-game hitting streak, his career long and the longest by a Nationals player since Ryan Zimmerman hit in 16 straight from Aug. 26-Sept. 12, 2012.
• However, catcher Kurt Suzuki still has a streak going, having hit in 10 straight games, matching a career-best hit streak (July 1-12, 2009). Suzuki was given the night off Monday. During his current streak, which began May 3, Suzuki has batted .303 (10-for-33) with a double, two RBIs, two walks and two runs scored.
Giants: Another streak continues
Marco Scutaro went 2-for-5 on Monday and brings into Tuesday's game a season-high 18-game hitting streak, the longest active hit streak in the Majors and the longest hitting streak in the Majors this season. Scutaro is batting .480 (36-for-75) during the streak. His career-best hit streak is 20 games, accomplished last season.
• Giants starters have thrown 19 quality starts (six or more innings, three earned runs or less) in 45 games (43.2 percent), tied for the third fewest among National League teams. The Giants haven't received a quality outing in their last seven games.
Worth noting
• Strasburg has had success against the Giants, going 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in two career starts. Current San Francisco players are a combined 7-for-41 (.171) against him with only two home runs (one by Hunter Pence, one by Andres Torres). Strasburg has 13 strikeouts against the hitters on this San Francisco team and won his only start at AT&T Park, giving up two runs in six innings and striking out seven.
• The Giants made one error in Monday's game, and San Francisco defenders now have 18 miscues in their past 13 games after having 17 total in their first 32 games of this season.

Colleen's Kitchen
After many years of cooking for my family, I'm pleased to say that we have compiled a comprehensive and versatile recipe collection. I love the challenge of pairing different dishes with Goosecross wine, so I have personally tested each recipe to be sure it's complete. My recipes not overly complicated, seasonally delicious with readily available ingredients, and they won't leave you with too much clean-up. I sincerely hope you enjoy them.
Colleen Topper, Proprietor
Napa Valley Cabernet
2 Rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons 5 pepper blend peppercorns
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
For the Sauce
1/2 cup beef consommé
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Goosecross Napa Cabernet
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brined green peppercorns
¼ cup crème fraîche
Roughly crush the peppercorn blend and press into each steak. Place steaks in a square glass dish. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the steaks, making sure both sides are covered in liquid. Marinate the steaks for 2 hours at room temperature. Grill the steaks to desired doneness, tent with foil, and set aside.
For the sauce:
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the beef consommé, soy sauce, wine, vinegar, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil, then boil it down to reduce and concentrate the sauce, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the brined peppercorns and cream. Heat through.
To serve, place the steaks on a serving plate and pour the reduction sauce over the meat. Serve with Goosecross Napa Cabernet.
Serves 2

If you're experiencing hair thinning and loss, you are certainly not alone. Not only is this a common issue in men, but about 30 million women in the United States also report the problem. You have no doubt heard of and seen many gimmicks on the market but why not put your trust in a brand that is proven to be effective? Rogaine has been available for more than 20 years and now you can benefit from this technology without a prescription. Rogaine hair growth has allowed many people to keep what they have and actually experience new hair after losing hope. There are Rogaine products for both men and women. The active ingredient is the same, minoxidil, but the women's formula has a lower concentration. Rogaine for men has the maximum concentration and in fact, 85% of men report hair regrowth after just a few months.

Rogaine Customer Reviews
hair regrowth treatment - 5/18/2014 4:09:11 AM I've only been using this product for about 3 weeks. Contrary to other's review, I bought this product to try myself. I've noticed no real results. I plan to use until the end of the product.OMG-it works! - 12/13/2009 10:14:14 PM My mom's side of the family has a history of thinning hair and so my Mom and I have been using it just once a day and we're both experiencing new growth after about a year. I've been using it since 2007. I use it about 15 minutes after I shower, once in the morning. If I use it when my hair is completely dry, it makes my fine hair oily. At work, my boss was telling me that she used to feel sorry for me because I was young but had so little hair and now she and other co-workers are telling me that I should be the model for the Rogain commercial because my hair amount looks completely normal. I'm finally able to have long hair, it hits around my underarm level, for first time in 10 years. I've been recently complimented on my hair-that it looks so full but still soft and shiny, that it's amazing, etc. When I mention to friends that I use to have little hair, people are surprised. The only side effect is I have slightly longer facial hair and my hair line has inched a little forward but it's minor and I can pluck/wax it so I'm still absolutely ecstatic about it.read the information - 1/14/2009 10:30:43 AM He need to use it for at least 4 months !Doesn't work - 6/4/2008 9:38:43 AM My husband used it for almost 3 months (almost 2 bottles) and no improvement at all.Well I've now been using it for nearly a year... - 12/31/2007 8:20:14 PM I've been using this for nearly a year and sadly no regrowth of thinning hair. But I'm not losing as much hair as I used to a year ago. :) I would recommend it to women who are just starting to experience thinning hair. I read this product is effective on less than 10% of women. But I'll continue to use it since I don't want to lose any more hair.Using it for almost 2 months... - 10/25/2007 1:33:50 PM I've been using it for almost 2 months and it hasn't made my hair grow back but I'm not losing any more hair than the norm. I have genetically proned thinning hair. I've heard that it can take up to half a year for it to work so I'll keep using for for that long.This works! - 8/18/2005 1:12:43 PM My hair started falling out after a couple of years as a vegetarian, and this made it grow back. -
Learn More About Rogaine
Rogaine hair care is FDA approved as a hair regrowth product, unlike many other offerings on the market. If you want thicker and fuller hair with less fallout, look to Rogaine for your needs. Hair loss may be a common problem but that doesn't mean that you have to be a part of the statistics.
There are many hair loss treatments on the market but Rogaine offers the only topical formula that is FDA-approved for the regrowth of hair. Dermatologists have recommended Rogaine for their patients for years. What began as a prescription only treatment has become the most popular over-the-counter hair loss product on the market. The active ingredient in Rogaine, minoxidil, stimulates shrinking hair follicles that become inactive usually due to genetics. Over time with regular use of Rogaine, hair thinning is slowed as well as prevented and in many cases, new growth occurs. Rogaine has demonstrated proven results for over 20 years and has participated in clinical trials involving over 20,000 people. No other hair loss product can stand up to the experience and scientific backing of Rogaine. The Rogaine system works best the earlier treatment is started so patients are urged not to wait when dealing with hair loss.
Minoxidil was originally tested for use as treatment for other conditions. During clinical trials, it was discovered that the chemical produced an unexpected side effect, hair growth and thickening of hair. Since this discovery, more tests have been performed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of minoxidil as a treatment for hair thinning and hair loss.
Unlike some brands that only address hair loss in men, Rogaine offers solutions for both men and women. Just as men suffer from hair thinning and loss, many women experience from this same problem and only in recent years did the personal care industry finally start to address this common concern. As is the case with men, the cause of the vast majority of hair loss cases in women is genetics. Rogaine can restore a woman's self confidence. Rogaine for Women can be easily added to any hair care regimen and won't interfere with hair styling.
Rogaine started out as a prescription only treatment with the launch of the 2% topical solution for men in 1988. Following its success, Rogaine for women was launched in 1992 with the same 2% topical solution. Both products were approved for over-the-counter sales in 1996. One year later, in 1997, Rogaine introduced its Extra Strength formula for men with a 5% minoxidil solution. Years later Rogaine Foam for men was introduced to the market. The 5% over-the-counter foam makes it easy for men to apply the treatment exactly where they need it.
Today Rogaine continues its quest to offer both men and women practical every day solutions for hair thinning and hair loss.

An immense collection of very light elements. A star is over 95% hydrogen with trace amounts of helium, oxygen, carbon, and other heavy elements. The star derives its energy from a thermonuclear reaction initieted by the pressure created by the gravitational pull of the gasses inward. A star will burn for millions if not billions of years before the hydrogen supply is depleted and the star's nuclear fusion reaction fails. The star will then explode and remove an outer layer of gasses and then collapse into a dense state. Average stars collapse into Dwarf Stars while massive ones form neutro stars of black holes.
Stars are not made of methane!!!!!!!

Hi all----
Hope everyone is doing well.
Oh, and I gotta say.....Hello, Cricket!!!! So good to have you back! You sure were missed, and I hope that everything is going as smoothly as possible. I know that for me personally, moving was never a smooth operation!
Ummm....I have a couple of questions for ya'll. (Brace yourself for a long post!!!)
Does anybody other than myself struggle with "doing God's will"? Does anyone else try to "figure out" what God's will is? The Book tells me that it is to be "happy, joyus and free". Some days....it just comes. Some days.....I kind of have a clue. Other days...... I couldn't figure it out with a will-detector.
Life has been insane for me lately. I'm pretty sure that I'm messing it up even more. And I just don't know what to do. Heck, I don't need any help screwing things up!! Maybe you guys know how it goes.......I try one thing....and that doesn't work. I try something else.....and that doesn't work. I try still something else.....and that doesn't work. Is that trying to 'run the show'? I suppose that's exactly what it is, but by the same tolken, I'm supposed to action, right?
I read. I do my lists. I pray. Then I'm afraid my prayers are selfish and wrong. Then, I ask God to forgive me for being selfish in my other prayers. I'm not sure that I do any better in my following prayers. He must get pretty frustrated with me. I try to meditate. Sometimes, I must do it right, because I feel so much lighter and happier. Sometimes, though, I must be doing it wrong because I feel either the same or worse.
I was asked to share at a meeting tonight. I didn't. I remembered that you don't get to air "issues" at a meeting. So I didn't share. But, if I'm honest.....I just didn't want to. Maybe I wanted to have another self-pity party. Maybe I didn't want to bring the other people down. Maybe my pride didn't want me to embarrass myself with an imperfect life. Maybe it was just too damn hard to admit life sucked sober. Maybe it was all of those things and then some. I just don't know, anymore.
I was watching a movie earlier, something I rarely do. It just happened to catch my attention. Anyhoo.... in the show, there was this guy who was a recovering alcoholic, and lost his son. Some of you know that I have a little history there. I found myself crying.....another thing I try not to do. Anyway, at one point, his sponsor just looks at him and says (none too nicely)......"Well congratulations......you've started feeling again."
My mind is spinning. I'm sober. I'm feeling. Things aren't going my way. God probably thinks I'm so insane that He's got to move on to other more promising prospects. I don't think God has abandoned me, though. Now that is a totally new attitude for my type of thinking. The thing is, I'm just not sure how to do His will for me.
How's that for a pity-party?
Sorry about all the questions.
On a lighter note.....Thanks ya'll for letting me vent. Thanks for being here. And I sure hope that all of you are doing well. Tomorrow will be better for me and I hope that it is a great day for all of ya'll, as well.(That's "hillbilly" speak! ####
Next time I post something, I'll try to keep it a little more happy and joyus! Promise.
Take Care All,

What a sad thread of comments. How much hate and bigotry.
I wish Palestinians and Israelis better leaders and better days.
No nation has ever taken the steps Israel has taken, to warn civilians to get out of certain areas because of the potential strikes by it's military. The surgical strikes are proof of this. It would be very easy not to avoid these strikes which poses risks to it'Israel's military. On the other hand, we have terrorists using civilian structures undoubtedly being used as pawns. Life matters to civil societies, less can be said to primitive societies.
One wonders where the UN was, when rockets were being fired into Israel weeks or months ago. The silence was deafening.
If the reporter is trying to tell us, that Israel's retaliation is a result of the upcoming elections in Jan., he has failed. Any country would do exactly what Israel is and will be doing in the future.
I tend to believe I have a pretty balanced opinion on the Israeli/Arab conflict. I usually place the blame where it rightfully belongs. I can't help but see that part of the problem might just be your view that your society is "superior" to anyone else's. I mean I thought we were done with those times, wouldn't you agree?
your post is the proof that today Israel is the new jew.
Same arguments were used by classic racists against jews.
The fear that the jews were "superior" was the base for justifying anti semitic rethoric.
I'm sure lots of people would prefer seeing Israel/jews been unable to defend themselves...
Israel isn't carpet bombing and attacking civilians. It is only targeting military cites that Hamas has located in civilian areas. Israel has a right to attack them, as they are used by Hamas to fire rockets at Israeli civilians. Thus, the onus is on Hamas to move its rocket sites to non-civilian areas. They don't want to do this, because they want child martyrs to film for propaganda purposes.
Does noticing this make me a fan of Israel? No, I'm quite critical of many aspects of current Israeli policies. However, favoring an independent Palestinian state doesn't make me blind to the fault Hamas bears for using its civilians as shields.
Hamas is fighting for the liberation of the marginalized and oppressed community who have been continuously deceived by hypocrite international community especially USA, slave of Israel. When words cannot find solutions, weapons rose. And check stats in the last week not a single Israeli soldier is killed and Palestinian civilians are being killed.
Not a single Israeli soldier killed simply because Hamas and their extreme-extremist buddies couldn´t hit water from a boat. They poked the bear and now the civilians of Gaza have to pay, again. Gazans should push Hamas to the sea and wash them off their shores.
what do u mean hypocrite? the nation who fight, defend and protect its people is hypocite? When words cant find solutions, weapons rose, so what the differences with terrorist???
Perhaps if Hamas would stop using the people they are trying to "liberate" as human shields, they would be more respected and successful.
I'm not giving Israel the blank check; their settlement policies are a huge part of the problem. But its clear Hamas has continually worked to make things worse.
It is words game. Israel does bomb in cvilian population and should be brought in the court of justice for this crime.
Bla, bla, bla... "marginalized and oppressed" by whom ? By Iran ? By their religion ? By hamas himself, who killed endless scores of its palestinians buddies ?
Sounds very patriotic and inspirational and all, but one can't help but wonder if the Gazans and Hamas had decided to try maintaining and running the lucrative greenhouses etc. which were left them when the Israelis departed (paid for on behalf of the Gazans by donations from Jews worldwide, ironically, rather than their wealthy brethren in the Arab oil states) rather than letting their major potential source of incoming cash turn to rubble in favor of using their country as a platform for random bombardment to take revenge for the Israelis having occupied the area before the Israelis departed the area; if in that case the Israelis would be wasting time, lives, money, and international goodwill periodically invading Gaza just to annoy the residents, or perhaps in an attempt to win back rule of the area which they had ruled until they decided they didn't want to rule it.
Whereas, Gazans killing 60 civilians by random rockets and mortars is OK with you?
In sort of a backhanded defense of the Palestinians, this is a perfect example of the same human tendency which inflames politics in the US, where as so many have noted, nearly half the country votes for policies that would hurt them: the truth is that people are more motivated by things like pride and insults than they are by the actual physical and economic welfare of themselves and their families. If it were otherwise, we'd have achieved Paradise on Earth a thousand years ago, at least.
The diversity of the comments below - some dispassionate, many more rightfully emotional - only seems to illuminate how sadly far we are from any solution. With the exception of a few who have correctly pointed out the need for constructive, meaningful and representative dialogue as the only means to resolve this problem, the large majority have resorted to blaming one side or the other. While this may perhaps be legitimate, and it certainly is worthwhile to consider historical roots - long term and short - political and social dimensions, current parties should somehow come to agree that killing each other is not in anyone's best interest, and as many have mentioned, you are both doomed to live next to each other. However much this may sound like pie in the sky, dialogue over finding even a minimally amicable solution with SOME sense of finality and closure is the ONLY way forward. It doesn't help when the voices of moderation are always drowned out.
Dear Beans, from the very illegitimate birth of Israel by Britain, France and then USA, negotiations are being done. Israel does not listen anyone be it a case of human rights violations or anything. Israel is illegitimate and its historical fact. negotiations is a delaying tactic , grow up its been more than 60 years now.
Most countries had an illegitimate birth. International law doesn´t care about that, it only cares about wether a state fulfils the criterias for statehood. And you would really have to stretch your reasoning quite far to back up any claim that says Israel doesn´t fulfil these criterias.
Ashraf, you have a lot going for you. Your stupidity, lack of schooling, ignorance,immaturity, a school drop out, and a genetically modified brain that never functioned properly. But hey Ashraf, their is hope for you, tremendous strides have been made in genetic engineering. Just think, you might become normal again.
Ashraf, any basic look at history and you can see Israelis lived in Palestine thousands of years ago. Modern Palestinian Arabs only date back around 1300 years or so, no matter what their religion says about land rights.
And seriously, what nation starts out "legitimate"? Every nation in history that has claimed that plot of land has done so through force of arms. The fact is, they are both there now, and the two sides' leaders need to realize that the extremist approach simply cannot work. It never has, and never will.
It's a shame that our world's politicians have gone to such extremes. Like the recent American elections, it seems that moderate, level-headed people are in short supply - and quickly dismissed by the insanely partisan ruling elite.
Well, that's great argument, if you can get the Israelis to agree, then peace will be at hand.
The most irritating thing is the armchair warriors who cheerlead the whole thing. Anybody who is Israeli, Palestinian, Arab, Jew, Muslim, or related to either party in the conflict in some way is, of course, logically entitled to be biased. But the vast number of people in the world who have no "dog in the fight" almost literally, yet pound the drums for one side or the other to fight the Evil Enemy until the bitter end and remind their favored team continually of every atrocity they have to pay back, have a moral standing somewhere among those of spectators at gladitorial combats, dog fights, and lynchings.
Remmember Belfaur declaration in whcih British and French pledged to "grant" Paltestinian territory to jews from europe. AT that time there already some jews living in Palestine and Iran as well. Even now jews have some offcial ranks in Iran. But point is that how is it to justify to bring in a nation from around at the expense of the already locals? AT the expense of atrocity and oppression of the helpless poor locals? Noam Chomsky rightly said that Israel is not at war with palestinians but is a "murderer" why? becasue war is fought between two sides when both have weapons etc
Palestinians have nothing! So who do they rely on then? The one who gives them hope to shield oppression and give them liberation. Israel is slowly taking out territory and no one is stopping it! Is that justice? Ok if jews had been dwelling there so did others whats their fault?
it is evident Israeli forces know extremely well where the terrorists are, and love this flashy rambo way of missiling the foe and going viral over the internet. Why not taking them out with little noise and no fanfare at all ?
some years ago a few IRA terrorists went to a petrol station in Gibraltar, and ended horizontal. Do we need to know who it was ? do we need to make a scoop on tv ? no. Take them out and keep quiet.
Yeah, if you have to kill, don't glorify it. It'll only piss off the other side, and it'll just make your side more likely to do it more.
What country in the world would not retaliate against rocket attacks against it? Whatever the virtues or vices of Israel, it DOES have the right of self defense. Its retaliation is not immoral just because it has superior weapons. Perhaps the Palestinians would be well advised to cease firing rockets into Israel--at least until they have the capacity to win the war they are provoking.
I guess only the master has a right to retaliate. Untermenschen can only meekly accept their fate.
Someone asked me What kind of world do I live in? The poor Gazans don't even control their own borders etc... Why doesn't this commenter ask: Why won't their Arab neighbors allow them to move across their borders? Jordan and Egypt?? Why don't the other rich Arab cousins send money and equipment to Gaza. They only send WEAPONS. I feel sorry for the poor people of Gaza. and how is it that I met some amazingly wealthy Palestinians in a 5 star hotel in Europe who were in shock that American Jews had given large amounts of money to start a school in one of the territories when their own people who have money leave the Gazans to sit as victims in houses less than housing projects in the slums of NYC. I am not a dreamer. I am someone who makes things happen.
Gaza doesn't share a border with Jordan.
No, but West Bank does, and fat good it does them. Cal girl, you hit the nail on the head. All the Arab nations bitch about how unfair Israel is but they are too self righteous to help out the Palestinians. The same goes with the Kurds - no wonder they want to start their own nation.
The Palestinian nation was doomed from the start because their own ethnic kin shun them. They appear to want the conflict to continue, because a peaceful Gaza would reduce Israel's supposed infidel illegitimacy.
This time, no one escapes from the ghetto. The past is prologue. White Christians and Jews again trying the final solution.
There is no evidence of a planed genocide on the part of Israel or "White christians". There is only evidence of tendentious hyperbolic statements on your part, my racist friend.
Inheriting The Wind? Is this what Israel under P.M. Netanyahu is now doing?
In 1996-99, he had the good chance to make peace. But he chose to renege on the Oslo Accords. Since 2009, he has refused to even start serious negotiations with the Palestinians. Now a new Egyptian government supportive of Hamas is in power. This is closer to reflecting the will of the majority of the Egyptian people than Mubarak was. It seems like, as the region opens up to democracy, more and more Middle Easterners will move the same way. So, now the tide of history is moving against him. will P.M. Netanyahu wake up and negotiate before his and Israel's hand is further weakened? Or do blind, self-believing ideologues just keep going in the same bad direction regardless? I guess in the next few years we will find out?
Meantime here's what Wikipedia tells us about Netanyahu's handling of the Oslo Accords. Let's only hope this is not how things will go again now :
" From the inception of the Oslo accords, Netanyahu opposed them. During his term as prime minister in the late 1990s, Netanyahu consistently reneged on commitments made by previous Israeli governments as part of the Oslo peace process, leading American peace envoy Dennis Ross to note that "neither President Clinton nor Secretary [of State Madeleine] Albright believed that Bibi had any real interest in pursuing peace."
In a 2001 video, Netanyahu, reportedly unaware he was being recorded, said: "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo Accords]," "I said I would, but ... I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the '67 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones; as far as I'm concerned, the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue." "
Don't waste your time on the Anglos and the Zionists. They only understand force and revenge.
Sorry for you, but I never waste time. More importantly, I never ever generalize about people. That might be taken for real prejudice!
Speaking about generalizing about people: in general, it's exactly Oslo Accords which led to the bloodshed in the Middle East.
As to RajPoru rhetoric, it is all that is different between him and you. You and he use different rhetoric but demand one and the same thing: Israel to commit suicide one way or the other to please the cowardly Pinko crowd French kissing the Mohammedan derrière.
And what does Wikipedia tell you about the previous Israeli administration who were actually in power at the time, regarding the Oslo Accords?
"Robert Malley, special assistant to US President Bill Clinton for Arab–Israeli Affairs, has confirmed that while Barak made no formal written offer to Arafat, the US did present concepts for peace which were considered by the Israeli side yet left unanswered by Arafat 'the Palestinians' principal failing is that from the beginning of the Camp David summit onward they were unable either to say yes to the American ideas or to present a cogent and specific counterproposal of their own'"
and regarding Camp David:
"Barak reportedly put forward the following as 'bases for negotiation', via the U.S. to the Palestinian leader; 92% of the West Bank and the entire Gaza Strip,[16] as well as a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem, and that 69 Jewish settlements (which comprise 85% of the West Bank's Jewish settlers) would be ceded to Israel ... President Clinton reportedly requested that Arafat make a counter-offer, but he proposed none. ... Clinton blamed Arafat for the failure of the Camp David Summit."
So, at the next election, the Israeli public decided to go a different way. Does this all suggest to you that Netanyahu is the sole and major reason there isn't peace in the Middle East by now?
Yes, agreed. But it's a pity you stop your assessment at the Camp David II meeting with Pres. Clinton.
As I understand it, Camp David II was ill-prepared - in good part because the P.M. Ehud Barak was a far better general than politician. He never consulted any of the other Israeli political parties or his cabinet about the terms he would offer, even though supposedly the meetings were intended to agree a long-term peace with the Palestinians.
In addition, the land map presented by the Israeli side at Camp David II was the same one the Palestinian negotiators had rejected outright three months before. This because it included large numbers of security corridors between Israeli settlements - which Palestinians would have been excluded from using, thus making territorial integrity for the proposed Palestinian state all but impossible.
Neither side really expected Camp David II to lead to an agreement. Nor did they want it. After all, there were huge popular demonstrations by both Israelis and by Palestinians in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and in Ramallah, respectively demanding that their leaders reach no agreement without first consulting them! It's not a big stretch to imagine how dangerous it would have been to agree anything far reaching then!
In talks at Taba and later in Jerusalem, the Israeli negotiating team led by Shlomo Bon-Ami and the Palestinian negotiators led by Saeb Erekat did finally hammer out the details of a mutually acceptable long-term peace agreement - including the details on land swaps, settlements, right (or not) of return etc. Had this agreement been finalized one can only imagine how very different the lives of both Jewish Israelis and Palestinians would be today!
The Second Intifada intervened. This was sparked off by a very provocative visit to the Dome of the Rock by Ariel Sharon - which Yassir Arafat had pleaded with Ehud Barak to prevent. Oddly, the Israeli police who usually used rubber bullets at such events use live ammunition that day. So over 200 Palestinians were killed. Not surprisingly, this put a stop to any deal for either side. When you said Israelis decided to turn another way, this is clearly what contributed greatly to that.
Once Ariel Sharon came to office, he promptly consigned the draft agreement worked out by Ehud Barak and Yassir Arafat to the dustbin of history. You will recall that in 2002-03, when the Quartet drew up the "roadmap" for peace, the Likud cabinet debated long but could never agree to ever accept the existence of a Palestinian state!
After all the false starts and aborted efforts at peace, one has to wonder whether Abba Eban's famous remark about the Palestinians - that they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity - may not one day be better ascribed to the Israelis themselves! Let us sincerely hope not!
Syria Civil War is a Proxy War between Iran and the Gulf Arab States.
Iraq is a Proxy War between Iran, America and the local indigenous Arabs.
Lebanon is a Proxy War between Iran backed Syrian Intelligence and the local Arabs.
Palestine is a Proxy War between Iran backed Hizbollah and the Israelis. The rockets and explosives are all Made in Iran.
The Good News is the Iranian economy is imploding.
And the Iranian ability to wage proxy war is severely curtailed.
And soon the havoc they sow abroad will come home to Tehran.
Syria, Hamas, and Lebanese terror will fall, only after regime change in Iran.
The Iranians are fueling the killings in Syria, the bombings in Lebanon and the rockets in Gaza.
Shia actively oppose Sunni, Druze, Turks, Jews, Christians, Europe, America and The West. It fights with subterfuge and proxy war.
And now they want nukes.
Simple solution to Mideast Peace is regime change in Iran.
For now that is the key to everything.
...Not invading Gaza. Or invading Baghdad. Or a no fly zone in Damascus. Those are the symptoms.
The disease is in Tehran.
Hamas is already being funded by the Qataris. It is dellusional to believe that resistance against Israel will disappear thanks to external factors. Only an end to the oppression Palestinians suffer at the hands of Israel can effectively change that.
No. The problem is the disease in the head of every supremacist Zionist.
Is there any moderating a racist troll like rajaporu?
I'm no fan of Israel, but he isn't contributing to the discussion, only barfing shrill racism.
As was painfully/gleefully seen when Mursi visited Teheran, Iran has been made almost irrelevant by the arab spring. If the arab spring turns to a persian spring when Syria gets its freedom Iran might be made relevant again, but in a good way.
I suppose that would be the same disease at the head of extremist muslims as well.
It doesn't matter if the extremists are Israeli or Muslim or Christian or Pastafarians, extremism will not lead to peace.
What could be painfully/gleefully seen when the Egyptian prime-minister visited Gaza couple of days ago to encourage the assault on Israeli population?
So funny to hear "supremacist Zionist". When the surviving jews from the holocaust crematories were put in ships, all those ships were dennied entrance everywhere, even in America. No one wanted "untermenchen". Some decades passed and the world, ironnically discovered that the "untermenchen" were gaining many of the Nobel Prizes... Israel is a tiny, tiny country, much smaller thant the arab territorial domination. Live your lives, and let us live ours.
Will this upcoming war increase or decrease Palestine's chance of becoming a non-voting member in the UN?
Another question: can a non-voting member be censured by the UN for failing to control its armed forces (Hamas)?
You obviously need some enlightenment: Hamas has nothing to do with the PA bid for some fake status at the UN. PA and Hamas are enemies. It doesn't matter if the PA gets its cherished status and what it provides - they have no influence over the Gazan (Hamas) banditry. They do their own.
Possible three state solution?
Look at India and Pakistan, which later became India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh?
Can't speak for India, Pakistan and Bangladesh... but who needs two more Arab countries - there are already 22 of them, all cesspools par excellence?
Is this Israel's 'Final Solution' for these Palestinians in this concentration camp call Gaza?
Yes keep comparing Israel to Nazism. Common one-sided, exaggerated propaganda used to undermine Israel. What about Assad's concentration camps in Syria? They have killed over 36,000 people. Why are you not talking about Syria? Was it not the grand mufti of Jerusalem who worked with the Nazis to exterminate the Jews in World War II? Was it not Yasser Arafat who rejected the two state solution? Israel has continuously made concessions while the Arabs continue to reject it. Why? Because the Arabs and Hamas want the Palestinians to continue living in harsh conditions in order to perpetuate their own political agenda.

I do understand that the Arab world looks down on the Palestinian people but are you truly serious when you say..."Why? Because the Arabs and Hamas want the Palestinians to continue living in harsh conditions in order to perpetuate their own political agenda."
Concentration camps? is that what prompts you to raise Nazism in this topic? Concentration camps were first seen in south Africa, a development of British colonialism.
Of course I am serious. They are rejectionists. Hamas was offered peace countless times, but this would only legitimize Israel. They would rather suffer than to recognize Israel.
I do not understand what you are trying to say? I do not think you understood my sarcasm.
"Why? Because the Arabs and Hamas want the Palestinians to continue living in harsh conditions in order to perpetuate their own political agenda."
Of course that's true. Why else haven't some of the wealthiest nations on earth per capita seen fit to help their suffering brethren? Why else is it so hard for Palestinians to attain citizenship in any of the various Arab countries where they are given guest worker visas? Going back to the origin of the problem, why else would the Arab countries deviate from the norm of post-war behavior, wherein treaties are signed, and captured territory (and the inhabitants thereof) are returned, after the 1967 war, and instead come up with the Khartoum Resolutions, i.e. no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel, and doom their beloved Palestinian brethren to an indefinite military occupation, or force Israel into formally annexing the territory? Have you not noticed whenever something horrible happens in an Arab country, from natural disasters to somebody saying something insulting about Mohammed on YouTube, the state media always inform the populace that it was the Zionists' fault? Heck, if the American public can be distracted from the suppurating state of their nation by pointing a finger at mysteriously powerful and evil foreign enemies, there's no doubt you can do the same with the citizens of a third world nation that have been deliberately kept in a state of feudalism. See also the book "1984", for the political values of perpetual war.
Ah, but comparing the Israelis to Nazis serves a great purpose, in that it does a lot to salve the still delicate consciences of Europe. "Hey, we're not so bad; look, the Jews are just as bad! Gaza is the world's largest concentration camp!" As if the inhabitants of Auschwitz spent their time firing missiles into the German heartland.
Israel's response to the mostly futile rocket attacks from Gaza tends to be disproportionate but it is obvious Hamas thinks it can get more world support by appearing as victims. It is hard to imagine a more idiotic policy, Hamas leaders need some serious therapy. The world will not come to their aid if Israel's escalates and more misery will descend on the Gaza population for no gain whatsoever.
"Mostly futile" rocket attacks send a million of civilians to shelters several times a day for years now. A family of three was killed in their home couple of days ago. To ask "proportionally" to reply to that is idiotic. It's a war which Islam started against Jews not when Israel was established but when Islam has been established. There is no such thing as a "proportionate" war.
There is such a thing as proportionate war. The US did not use atomic weapons in any of its wars since WWII to give an extreme example.
The last time Israel bombed Gaza it caused massive civilian casualties, many more than were killed by rockets from Gaza.
I am not justifying the rockets, there is no excuse for them,
and I don't question Israel's right to retaliate. But it is not the whole of the Gaza population that is involved in this idiotic
endeavor. A sustained bombing campaign will kill many more Gazans than Israelis will be killed by rockets. One can blame Hamas for this, but it is still Israelis who will be doing the killing.
A cursory examination of history shows that Christians have, generally speaking, hated and attacked Jewish folk much more strenuously than Muslims ever have.
Muslims, often as not, gave Jews safe refuge from angry Europeans. As for America, it has only been in recent decades that Jews were allowed into many clubs, fraternities and organizations, including golf clubs.
But aren't you forgetting History? For many centuries, Islamic states were more accepting and tolerant towards the Jewish people than Christianity ever was? From 8th to 12th centuries, Moorish Al-Andalus - now Spain - accorded full citizenship status to Jews and Christians, as fellow "Children of the Book". It seems it has only been since Israel was established that this situation has changed. Perhaps there is a connection?
Israels problem is that, as an occupying force, it doesn´t have a "right to retaliate". It is responsible for the security of the people of Gaza and as such they are responsible for the policing of the occupied territories. But because it decided to design Gaza legally as a kind of purgatory rather than a status that would release Israel of its obligations it now has to police Gaza with fighter jets and heavy artillery, which really isn´t ideal.
The Jews have always warred with the stronger against the weaker.
Is there evidence that Israel is carpet bombing civilian areas in order to target civilians?
I suspect that Israel is targeting Hamas military targets that Hamas has locating in civilian areas to increase civilians casualties. Israel has a right to target rocket sites no matter where Hamas locates them. I would say that the onus is on Hamas to not use its civilian population as shields.
then they began persecuting jews in the modern era. also, jews and christians were always second class in the caliphates.
The Gaza population elected Hamas to rule them; and the Hamas decided to use this population as a human shield. Israel, on the other hand, won't allow the use of their population as a human target.
As to the US not using nukes in wars after WW2, it's simple: they didn't need it is all.
What you actually say is that Arabs/Mohammedans were prepared to tolerate Jews as dhimmi, but not as a full fledged nation. Sorry, can't see any good in it.
Not really. Much depends on how you go about obtaining your nation. If you do it by chasing others out of theirs and not allowing them back, there's going to be a lot of problems, don't you think?
But I guess it takes two to tango, as the saying goes. Didn't the Jewish terror militias in Palestine start the process in order to create the state of Israel? This stirred up a lot of hatred across the Arab world, where previously Jews had lived in peace.
As to the caliphates, I'd rather have been a wealthy, secure, comfortable, accepted outsider than a prisoner of the Inquisition.
"Is there evidence that Israel is carpet bombing civilian areas in order to target civilians?"
It doesn't matter what they're targeting. Carpet bombing a civilian population is a bad thing regardless. Even the US leaders in WWII, where there was far more of a moral high ground, will never live down their carpet bombing campaigns, a decision made out of laziness and an unwillingness to accept the inefficiency of the tactic.
It is inane to attempt to justify medieval Islamic dhimmitude by the Catholic Inquisition. The Inquisition was a retrograde authoritarian nightmare and life was probably a little better in medieval Islamic Spain (but still far below modern civil liberties standards), but what the fu#$ does that have to do with the current geopolitics of Israel and Hamas? Its a non sequitur.
Yes, it takes two to tango. And Israel does indeed have fault. But the present casus belli rests on Hamas and its indiscriminate firing of rockets into civilian areas of Israel. Does this mean that Israel doesn't bear an onus to rectify the Palestinian-state issue and restrain the settler movement? No.
Btw, would you want to be a Jew or Christian in present day Gaza under Islamist and Salafist Hamas?

The stupidity is gaping! Israel isn't carpet bombing and attacking civilians. Hamas is locating their rocket sites in civilian areas. And Israel has a right to attack them. Thus, the onus is on Hamas to move its rocket sites to non-civilian areas. They don't want to do this, because they want child martyrs to film for propaganda purposes.
Does noticing this make me a fan of Israel? No, I'm quite critical of many aspects of current Israeli policies. However, favoring an independent Palestinian state doesn't make me blind to the fault Hamas bears for using its civilians as shields.
Nothing depends on how you go about obtaining your nation. Just for example, Arabs have obtained all their 22 states by sword, and same goes for the biggest part of Moslem nations. The whole proliferation of Islam was by sword.
But those are just particular examples. As the land owning goes, more than 70% of the Earth landmass IS NOT owned by the original inhabitants. Peoples keep their land IF THEY CAN.
Yes, a lot of nations meet a lot of problems of different nature. Once again, IF THEY CAN - they resolve them. Rest assured that the Gaza problem which Israel has on her hands now, will be resolved.
Yes, perhaps. But isn't it always so revealing that : the damage done in Palestinian territories including in Gaza always seems massively more extensive than in Israel? Also, if you add up the total casualties on both sides in the past ten years, isn't it telling that the total Israeli casualties are so few, whereas the Palestinian fatalities number in tens of thousands?
On the issue of whose "fault" it is, I find this difficult to assess. After all, what has really been going on all these years is a war between two adversaries - Israel and the Palestinians - over disputed lands, from which the former had to drive the latter to set up its state. As long as the state of war persists, both parties will use whatever means they consider necessary to pursue it. I wouldn't want to play a sort of artificial blame game in this context. It sounds as if one party broke a peace that never has really existed.All that's important really is to find a just resolution to the conflict acceptable to both sides, surely?
Of course you're quite right....Might is Right!
But as the Chinese might have said, beware what you wish for - especially in the long run!
Why if add up the total casualties on both sides just in the past ten years? I cannot cite the source now, but if you compare casualties in all Arab-Israeli conflicts, it appears that the Arab ones are about 14 times higher.
What does it say to you, considering that all of them were initiated by Arabs?
My conclusion is that all their fingers are thumbs. And that you don't go into a shooting contest with a knife.
If you are not dumb, that is.
Not so "inane" actually! I was responding to the claim that from its origins Islam has always been anti-Semitic. I see little evidence to support this. In the same way I see little evidence that Judaism or Christianity were always anti-Islamic. I also wasn't trying to "justify" anything - history doesn't work that way for me. The fact remains that certain Moslem states accepted Jews and Christians in ways that for centuries many (but not all) Christian states did not accept Jews or Moslems. Of course the Norman kings of Sicily - who were Christians - had Jewish subjects and were stoutly defended by Moslem battalions!
Fine, I'll be. Especially if I can live as long as the Chinese Empire. Who never was shy to use force for land gain, huh?
Well, either you have targeted assassinations, or you have collective punishment. Pick your poison. You can't very well have normal warfare between the Israeli Army and the Gazan Army, can you? Me, I have to say the lesser of the two evils is the targeted assassination, as ugly as that works out to be.
No one notices what's wrong with the picture in this article? The picture is showing rockets being fired behind building that civilians leave in.
The Hamas blame Israel for targeting civilians, after using civilians as human shields, this is the simple fact.
This is the real war crime here, the Hamas leaders are planning this in advance so that when Israel is using its right to defend itself Hamas will have a better chance of showing dead baby's on TV. The ones that are looking to blood and dead baby's are Hamas leaders, they need it and without it they will be shown to what they real are – dictators that the last thing on there mind is there people.
I think that a Nobel prize for cynicism should be awarded in this case
There's war crimes on both sides.
I'd prefer the US to recognize Palestine as its own independent nation and treat Palestinians and Israelis as equals-- and using whatever non-military means at our disposal to force the leaders of both sides to come to terms with their own stupidity.
Regarding war crimes, let's say for example that a 10 year old attacks you in the street of your home town with a baseball bat. What do you expect to be the verdict in case you have to break his arm in order to take it from him? Are you the one to be blamed for this?
Hmm.... rockets falling on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Is that what Israel elected Netanyahu for? I understand the hardliners might see this as an opportunity, however, the people must be getting tired of this crap. How about electing leaders who´s interested in a permanent solution to the woes of the israeli and palestinians?
Israel is a democracy and they elected Netanyahu. So the majority of Israelis must approve of what he is doing.
I think Netanyahu is doing this for these reasons:
1. Netanyahu wants to attack Iran "before they get the bomb"
2. Obama got elected so the US won't be attacking Iran any time soon, which Netanyahu hoped the US would do
3. By stoking a conflagration in the Middle East, Netanyahu hopes to get US Jews to put so much pressure on Obama that he must send forces to the region.
The danger in Netanyahu's calculations follow:
1. American Jews don't care enough about Netanyahu to put pressure on Obama
2. American gentiles are so tired of foreign wars that the isolationist tendency wins out
3. Arab states and Iran mount a concerted attack on Israel, using conventional and unconventional means, threatening the country's continued existence.
Seen from everywhere except Mr. Netanyahu's office, Israel looks very vulnerable. This is a dangerous game they are playing.
It's more complicated than that. Many of the laws in Israel give religious hardliners far more power than they would actually have in a proportionally representative system.
In which case, moderate Israelis must be very nervous indeed. I am so glad I am not one of them.
If the Israeli political system is so dysfunctional that Netanyahu can conduct a policy that is against the wishes of the electorate, then Israel is in serious trouble.
Israel has been in serious trouble for some time now. Do you recall the furor that was had by religious hardliners over Israel trying to repeal the laws that allowed the hardliners to essentially leech off the government without doing any public service at all?
They did. Who do you think sat down to discuss the Oslo Accords, or Camp David? But, as should be obvious to most, and especially to all revolutionaries, it's a lot easier to fight the oppressor than to be in power and keep the streets clean and the electricity turned on. And apparently a lot more lucrative too, judging from the new reports in the Palestinian media themselves, regarding not just Arafat and his cronies, but Hamas as well.
Voters being voters, when the hesitatingly extended hand of peace fails to bring about peace, they will then vote for something different.
You're overthinking things. You only need these reasons for Netanyahu's choosing to do this now:
1) Israeli elections are scheduled for early 2013.
If you're the incumbent, you can't go wrong before an election by getting your country in a war. And that goes double if you're the rightwing pro-war party.
"The timing, as the veteran Israeli peace campaigner Gershon Baskin points out, has been peculiar. Baskin, who helped to negotiate the release of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit and communicated through an intermediary with Jabari, alleges that Jabari was preparing to sign a formal ceasefire plan when he was killed."
If the above is correct, Netanyahu assasinated Jabari to prevent peace. I am a disinterested observer of the catastrophe that is Israel/Palestine, but from where I am sitting Netanyahu looks like part of the problem, not part of the solution.
The Palestinians simply want freedom from the inhumane blockade and a contiguous West Bank.
The South African aparthied system of Bantustans in The West Bank is disgusting!
I'm hopeful that now the isreali puppet Mubarak has gone, Egypt will open its Gaza border and more . . .
A lot of native South Africans are looking back in a nostalgic reverie to the happy days of bantustans... when ANC fat cats didn't rob them to the hilt, didn't prescribe them to take shower after sex with a stranger as a preventive measure against AIDS... when violence and crime were not unlimited...
Egypt will never open their borders for Palis, no matter who is in the helm. You know why? Egyptians cannot care less about them. Moreover, they despise them, think of them as some lowlife... and the rest of the Arab world is exactly of the same opinion.
Sure, and a lot of African-Americans must be looking back in nostalgic reverie to the happy days of slavery, where the good master would give them food and shelter, and defoliate their backs from time to time with his whip.
... and a lot of Zionists look back to when their masters held them in the concentration camps ..... the same that they religiously prepare for the Palestinians at every opportunity.
Come on RP! Take a brake and recharge your batteries. Are you seriously defending Apartheid now?
Rocket attacks on Israel aren't going to lift the "inhumane blockade."
Which is a good case for Hamas either being stupid or seeing the blockade as a politically useful tool to unite the party, but not really a good case that the blockade doesn't exist, if that's what you're attempting to insinuate with the sarcasm quotes.
Why are you calling for Israel to be reduced to a Bantustan, split into two different segments?
To call for Jews to live in a 'South African apartheid system of Bantustans' is truly disgusting.
(to connect the West Bank and Gaza, you have to split Israel in two)
Yeah, much as Jordan opened up its borders to the West Bank when it annexed it in 1948. Which led to the PLO and its splinter groups setting up the proverbial "state within a state" within Jordan, taking up practices difficult to distinguish from those of organized crime, and eventually attempting to explicitly overthrow the Jordanian government and to assassinate the King. Understandably annoyed, the King instituted "Black September", massacring thousands of Palestinians and driving the PLO out of Jordan. The PLO, in turn, took revenge against Israel, of course.
Yeah, the Egyptians are going to welcome the Gazans with open arms.
Yeah, all those gas chambers and crematoria in the West Bank and Gaza.
And yet, after the last Gazan horror, none other than Ehud Barak himself proposed a 30 mile tunnel between the West Bank and Gaza. In fact, every failed atttempt at a treaty between Israel and Palestine has featured a safe corridor connecting the West Bank and Gaza, so the Israelis are willing to go to that length to see peace.
Waging war is the best election campaign in Israel, which clearly shows that Israeli people don't want peace. Both Israelis and Palestinians seek the peace in annihilation of one-another. Someone should convince them neither could do it in short run; however, Palestinians may have more chance in the long run. Perhaps President Obama would try, but I ma not sure if he could convince either.
What does President Obama have to do with that?
I remember a lot of indignation from the American commenters when it was suggested (with no solid grounds, I'd add) that PM Netanyahu somehow tried to influence American elections. "The US is a sovereign nation, sod off!" was the collective shriek back then.
Well, Israel is a sovereign nation too. She will do anything necessary to defend her citizens, full stop. Shelling from the terrorist enclave of Gaza will be not tolerated anymore. Presidents of foreign nations can have an opinion on that, but not sway.
You are quite right: best thing for our President would be to do just nothing, avoid this crap, stay out. There is no oil, nothing to be gained, just nuisance.
Then let the two parties sort it out between themselves ...mmmhh: he who nukes first wins ? really ? What if it becomes a war between two religions ? Ooops, they've been there already some zillions years ago and it wasn't pretty

"Well, Israel is a sovereign nation too. She will do anything necessary to defend her citizens, full stop. Shelling from the terrorist enclave of Gaza will be not tolerated anymore."
Israel´s already occupying Gaza, so what´s the plan? If Israel had released Gaza completely (no naval blockade or airspace restrictions, and respect Gazas borders) for a sustained period at an earlier stage it would be established as a de-facto sovereign state by now. And any aggression from a sovereign Gaza could be dealt with as one sovereign state (Israel) defending itself from the aggression of another sovereign state (Gaza). One might ask wether a truly sovereign Gaza would use its freedom in such a way (especially if The West Bank was a sovereign state as well, or part of the same palestinian state). However, now Israel is responsible for the security of both the Israeli citizens and the palestinians living in the occupied territories. It´s a raw deal, and I can´t understand how the israeli people can accept this from their leaders.
Well, President Obama did get the Nobel Peace Prize on a layaway plan... do something or return the Prize, I'll say.
To be a sovereign nation you should be able to survive on your own, means without America's strong economic and military support. Israel must understand that America cannot fight forever Israel's war, neither Israel can continue. Israel must prepare to live in peace with its neighbors. For President W Bush Israel was a political rod. Obama administration is its best chance to achieve peace if Israeli politicians can seize it.
What a memory! That's nearly two weeks ago. Your 'adding' that Netanyahoo didn't try to influence the US election doesn`t make it so. Oh, I see...You didn't say he didn't, you said there was no grounds to the suggestion that he did. You win. Keep talking like that...
Cut this crap about occupying Gaza and, especially Judea and Samaria, wudya? The naval and airspace blockade of the terrorist enclave of Gaza is perfectly legal, if it wanted peace it would have had it long time ago.
As to Judea and Samaria, including the eternal indivisible capital of the Jews - Jerusalem, it's simply Israel. With some pesky guests here and there forgetting to return to their homes in Syria, Egypt, Jordan and where not... but Eretz Isroel nevertheless. Israel occupying Israel? What an absurd notion!
Oh, and something about Israelis accepting or not different things. They'll sort off their relationship with their leaders without your intellectual assistance, thank you very much. But no matter who their leaders are and whether you approve of them or not, they'll not accept shelling from Gaza anymore. Just wait another couple of days and see.
You're mistaken about program on which President Obama got his Nobel Peace Prise. It wasn't layaway plan, it was affirmative action give away. One can't expect any valuable return on this.
If you expect Israel to tolerate shelling from Gaza for the Obama administration's pleasure, change the stuff you are smoking.
reply to comment starting with "Cut this crap about occupying Gaza...."
What are you suggesting then? Ethnic cleansing? What should happen to the millions of palestinians?
I suggest they stop shelling Israel. Then we'll see what we can do for them next. If they ask nicely, of course.
Lets see how Netanyahu behaves in a couple of years time when Iran has the bomb.
He can either nuke Tehran and risk Tel Aviv getting nuked in return, or start behaving like a responsible 21st century statesman and try to solve this mess peacefully.
But something tells me Netanyahu doesn't want peace, so as Iran gets closer to becoming a nuclear-armed state, I expect most of the Israeli population to emigrate to Florida.
Then the only people left in Israel will be those guys with the funny hats and curly side-burns.
Half thinking is worse than no thinking at all. That's your case.
I understand you're fascinated by Netanyahu... what is it, an adolescent crash? But let me tell you something: you mightily overestimate your hero. However he behaves, even if he manages to behave like not 21st century statesman, but 23d, he wouldn't be capable of solving this mess peacefully or otherwise ALONE. He needs - like any other statesman - a counterpart prepared to resolve this mess together with him also peacefully. Try for a second to get rid of your fantasy image of almighty Netaniahu and tell me who's this counterpart now, and - since you're homemade prophesier - in a couple of years time?
"an adolescent crash?"
Is that a translation from Hebrew? In English it's 'crush'.
Yes, it is. So?
So matzo balls.
It's like the prisoners in a vast jail throwing firecrackers over the wall at their Israeli guards, and the response is to terrorise and murder the prison population.
Well said 33. They have learned a lot from the WW11 and the white South African governments.
I wonder what would happen in USA, or Britain, or... you can continue the list at will, if the population of any of their prisons started to launch primitive, but nevertheless deadly "firecrackers" over the wall?
Well, no inmates even in Kenya can do that, but just for the discussion's sake? Right, they'd be smashed, and not after 8 years of shelling but on the first instance.
That leaves us with two alternative conclusions: either Gazans are not prisoners and Gaza isn't a prizon; or you peddle propaganda crap. Actually, why alternative? Both are right on the mark.
AT LEAST YOU ADMIT THE PALESTINIANS ARE IN PRISON...reverse the rolls and the Israel people would be FREEDOM FIGHTERS!
Just to please you, Ric - yes, Israelis are freedom fighters. They fight for their freedom, and always did. As to the Pals, they just wore the disguise of freedom fighters, because they always were free - to go. Part of them did exactly this in 1948. The wiser part, to be fair.
"That leaves us with two alternative conclusions: either Gazans are not prisoners and Gaza isn't a prizon; or you peddle propaganda crap. Actually, why alternative? Both are right on the mark."
I love a feisty punchline as much as the next guy, but that just doesn´t maker sense. You put a badly craftet statement up as "two alternative conclusions" to reveal that you think both are right, which isn´t that odd since both depend on each other rather than oppose each other as "two alternative conclusions" would. You´re tired dear RP.
BTW tirnanog33, those aren´t firecrackers.
Can I launch some rockets at you? It's just fireworks, you know...
"It's like the prisoners in a vast jail throwing firecrackers over the wall at their Israeli guards, and the response is to terrorise and murder the prison population."
Except for the part where the firecrackers kill 60 of the guards.
Gaza will always be a thorn in Israel's side.
The inhabitants are clearly being encouraged to leave but they have nowhere else to go.
So why not just a drop a small tactical Nuke on them all.?
Problem solved.
There is this myth about the Israel-Palestine conflict that says it´s unsolvable. It´s too complex. But the solution is simple. As long as Israel insists on anything less than full sovereignty for the palestinians, an enduring peace is off the table. If Israel releases Palestine from its grip it will no longer be responsible for it. Palestinians will have the opportunity to enter the community of sovereign states (either as a united Palestine or as a west bank state and a Gazan state) and handle their affairs within this new realm of freedom and opportunity.
Exactly how many wars did Israel have so far in its brief existence? I lost count.
Exactly as many as were the instances of her existence being endangered. I, too, lost count of how many times Arabs (now joined by Persians) attacked Israel.
The heart of the issue is the Gaza militants arsenal of missiles which they use indiscriminately on southern Israel. But in order to destroy the rocket arsenal there will inevitably be civilian casualties because the Gazans hide them in civilian locations; they use there own people as human shields. So, it behooves us as onlookers to be less condemning toward Israel than we were during Cast Lead.
Therefore, get the job done as precisely and cleanly as possible. Do whatever is necessary to clean out the stockpiles of munitions and rockets launchers, and I for one support Israels right to self defense.
