Perhaps we need a three state solution.......Here's an interesting fact. Jews were at one time a plurality, perhaps a majority, of Baghdad's population. They had been there since the Babylonian captivity, so they had been there before the Arabs. Nonetheless, when the Israel state was established, they were forced to flee and leave their homes and possessions behind. Why is their case different than that of the Palestinians? How about the Greeks of Anatolia? How about the Volga Germans? How about the American Loyalists? What makes the Palestinians such extra special refugees?Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-50994835116971659762014-04-29T22:52:35.158-04:002014-04-29T22:52:35.158-04:00My outlook towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflic...My outlook towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was profoundly shaken at around age 14 when I had an outspoken Palestinian immigrant as a high school American history teacher. This was circa 1973-74. Not only did she try to convince us of her people's cause, she painted a hateful picture of the people she said forcibly took her family's house in Jerusalem. Oh and she gave me a D even though I probably knew more American history than she did at that point. chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-58045013658738606032014-04-29T22:36:18.392-04:002014-04-29T22:36:18.392-04:00Man has he screwed up.

A "two state solution" was imposed way back in 1922. <br /><br />The problem since then is that the powers that be in Jordan don't want the "Palestinian 'PLO' Arabs" in their midst...e.g., apartheid established by the "Black September" civil war in Jordan 1970-71. Result of that separation was expulsion of the PLO advocates and their supporters. Now the PLO is in the "West Bank" and joining hands with Hamas in Gaza. <br /><br />Hamas who indiscriminately rocket and mortar Israeli towns from across their border. I have a piece of one of those rockets fired at Ashkelon on my mantle, made in to a steel sculptured rose. <br /><br />When it comes to "integration" between Jews and Arab Muslims, Israel has (dangerously IMO) enabled it to happen in Israel. Can you tell of any Arab nation where that is reciprocal for Jews in those lands?<br /><br />I have friends in Israel and they tell me it is not morally acceptable for their IDF to obliterate their enemies' civilian population centers. They understand that means they miss eliminating a resource. All the while their opposition feels free to blow up Israeli women and children. <br /><br />It is a point I fail to understand, but respect their adherence to what they believe. There will be no Dresden, nor Tokyo fire bombing, et al by the Israelis. <br /><br />Aridoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345930150667529742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-34808378082745430892014-04-29T14:45:59.602-04:002014-04-29T14:45:59.602-04:00I understand that AJ Lynch.

The San Remo Accords, as amended in 1922, define that simple fact. The UN didn't even exist, let alone subsequently have authority to modify the accords. Note that virtually every Arab nation defined by those 1922 amended accords still adheres to the same borders, sans "partitions", outlined in those accords. Odd then, that Israel is expected to do otherwise? <br /><br />Originally defined within the British Mandate as the future Jewish National Home <a href="http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/1920-mandate_for_palestine.jpg" rel="nofollow">circa 1920</a>. Subsequently the San Remo Accords were amended in 1922, taking 77% of the orignal mandate and creating <a href="http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/1922-mandate_for_palestine.jpg" rel="nofollow">two Palestines</a>, one as Trans-Jordan and the other as the remaining future Jewish Nation Home...aka legally noted as Arab Palestine and Jewish Palestine. Note it included the Golan Heights, which the British unilaterally ceeded to the French Mandate aka Syria later in 1922.<br /><br />In essence a "two state solution" was already effected by the 1922 San Remo Accords. Frequently we hear that Israel took the west bank away from Jordan...when actually, upon Israel's declaration of independnce, Jordan and other Arab states attacked Israel with Jordan occupying the west bank, along an armistice line, until they were pushed back across the Jordan River in 1967. In short, in 1967 Israel re-occupied its own territory.<br /><br />As for the <i>willful</i> ignorance of men like Kerry, et al...it isn't that the <a href="http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/mandate_for_palestine/mandate_for_palestine.htm" rel="nofollow">Information</a> is not available for their use.<br /><br />History is hard when you are solely focused on re-writing it to fit your personal paradigm.Aridoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345930150667529742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-78649750885236956182014-04-29T12:26:05.323-04:002014-04-29T12:26:05.323-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mitch H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01630047498946143646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-39688132812475514382014-04-29T12:26:01.274-04:002014-04-29T12:26:01.274-04:00Really, put a US Senator in a position of any sens...Really, put a US Senator in a position of any sensitivity or responsibility, and you're responsible for whatever damage he does.
