    It's also coming at the anniversary of Israel's independence, a time of heightened tensions.

      The video I posted earlier documents the agreements that Arafat rejected, even though he would have gotten about 95% of what he was demanding.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Please don't do this again.
        That looks like an editing error rather than an intentional attempt at dishonesty.

            Yep. Also right at the end of Ramadan which given Israel tossed flash bangs in a full mosque (one of the oldest there IIRC), that ramped up tensions even higher

              We are specifically talking about Israel here, H_A. You seem to purposefully "misunderstand" when you know you are wrong. The Jews were there before Alexander or the Romans.

              You have.

                  Agreed, it's long past time for the US to stop sending billions. I forget who said it but it really hit home for me when heard it: the US has been morphing into a colony of Israel.

                    I often wonder if someone should send a bill!

                    Not to mention the sheer power of the Israeli lobby and the Israel Friendly Christians with their belief in the End Times.

                      The rocket attacks were in response to an attack on the building Hamas leadership meets in. As usual, they gave a lot of advanced warning in order to minimize civilian casualties -- and it was in retaliation to several bombings carried out by Hamas, which was in turn retaliation... Rinse and repeat.

                          I would argue that they, not us, are the fair weather friend. but hey, maybe I'm biased, I knew someone who was nearly murdered by them on the USS Liberty in their little false flag attack they used to try to draw us into their War

                                It doesn't look like Netanyahu will be able to form a government which makes me wonder about the timing of all this.
