Carefeul Mugwump, because once Smokey sees this he will proceed to brow beat you into submission with response after response after response . Pretty much what all pro Israeli defenders do to all detractors.

Anyway, could be a great day at the UN for the Palestinians.

I see your comprehension skills are still taking second place to your penchant for rhetoric. Well done you.

Come back when you've actually managed to understand what people have been saying to you.

I think your interpretation is pretty close to the truth. The preferred outcome would be to sweep the Palestinians into the sea and hand their lands over to the settlers. Given the recent influx of large numbers of Jews from the former communist states the Israeli government is under extreme pressure to provide lebensraum.

The second best solution would be to force the Palestinians to accept the manageable (for the Israelis) governance of Egypt (Gaza) and Jordan (the West Bank). That said, the recent shenanigans south of the border may make Israel think twice.

Sans the above I think we'll see the continuation of expansion into Palestinian territories (especially those which are cultivatable or water bearing), a ratcheting up of the system of segregation none dare call precisely what it is - Apartheid, and ever more one-sided death tolls.

I want to know why Hillary thinks the UN recognition of a Palestinian state obstructs the path to a peaceful agreement between Israel and the palestinians? The fact is the only peaceful solution Israel wants is one in which there are no longer any Palestinians living anywhere in the region.

Isn't that also what the Palestinians want, in fact Hamas want the total annihilation of Israel. Lets have some balance.

Do keep up lad

And Netanyahu's response to overwhelming worldwide criticism (including, Britain - which is at least suggesting it might withdraw its ambassador - a rarity in itself) regarding YET MORE new settlements on Palestinian land?

[i"We will carry on building in Jerusalem and in all the places that are on the map of Israel's strategic interests."[/i

And there you have it.

Yes. That's why Hamas acknowledged the right of Israel to exist a number of years ago.

Yet see today's quote from Netanyahu – as posted by Mugwump.

Yet the destruction of Israel is still part of their charter.

Ah yes – charters.

Thankfully, Israel hasn't got a charter that states that it will spend decades actually pursuing a policy that means the destruction of any hope of a Palestine.

Even the UK government is in a slight tizz about this latest demonstration of an absolute lack of interest in a peaceful, two-state solution.

And launching hundreds of rockets at civilian areas is showing a commitment to a peaceful two state solution?

Yes, dear.

As I have said, I don’t have sympathy for murderers because they are incompetent murderers. Strangely you do.

No. You've simply made it clear that you sympathise with neo-fascist bullies, and condemn their victims for daring to put up any form of resistance.

I can imagine you being appalled by the behaviour of the Resistance or the ANC too. Indeed, that was pretty much Margaret Thatcher's line.

Who'd a thunk it, eh? SmokeyTA – son of Thatcher.

On the contrary you have sympathy for competent murderers.

But they are white; and essentially European.

Another 3,000 homes to be illegally built on Palestinian land.

Well indeed. But Smokey tells us that if the Palestinians dare object, that'll be 'anti-semetic'.

Of course.

And Smokey himself isn't a raving Nazi.

Also in that case if anyone on here says Israel are wrong then are we anti-semitic too ?

I want to know how officially summoning the Israeli ambassador is going to affect the building these homes. If the Israeli government could get the IDF to carry out a Rwandan style genocide on the Palestinians they would, and you know what, nothing would be done about it either.

Then you wont have a problem finding these pro-israeli posts then will you sweetie.

It seems you have made the ridiculous mistake of confusing being anti-hamas and anti-terrorism, with being pro-israeli

They are free to object. Just not to try and murder people.

I really don't know why all you disgruntled left wing idealists are working yourselves up into a tizzy. Life may well be e for the Millwall equivalent of the Arab world, but their antics over the last couple of generations or so, have brought them to where they are now. As you sew etc etc.

If Israel decided that it would be best all round to re occupy that miserable little strip of sand, does anyone honestly think, that apart from outraged splutterings from the usual suspects, that the Great and the Good of the World would do anything meaningful at all?

Tibet anyone?

Way past time perhaps, for all you folk who appear to be overly outraged on behalf of someone else, to find a new cause to chelp about.

Sad but true, a white life is and has always been more precious.
