    The UN is the only one you mention that is unaligned. It is the only one suitable.

    I hate to break it to you but I have yet to meet anyone who has seen as much of the world as I have. There is no reason for me to think you are an exception.

    Never mind Malmö. It is my home and that's all there is to it, sonny boy.

    Moon, you DO perhaps know, majority of Jaffa residents are Muslims, and the last thing they want is for Jaffa NOT to be in Israel? And no, Jaffa was not ethnically cleansed, but liberated by Israel in a fight during opening days of Independence war.

    There.

    Ha ha ha... if I had a nickel for every internet world traveler I ever met...

    On the other hand, during last 3 months I've been to London, Singapore, Moscow, all during separate trips and somewhere else, I think. Monday I'll be in Amsterdam, Wednesday I'll ice fish on Baikal, and Thursday arrive to Moscow for a couple of days of R&R. And I can prove all of it.

    You? Planning an annual vacation to see the sights of Kastrup? :roflol:

    Your reply pretty much settles it. You definitely have not seen as much of the world as I have. But this is a minor point, and the fact that you think it is important tells a couple of volumes about your pseudo credibility. That - plus your fantasy comments 'on topic' - doesn't leave you with much topic sense.

    I was watching an Inside Story today and the pro settlement person being asked was basically saying there is no point any more in people going on with this foolishness in complaining about anything Israel did. They were going to do exactly what they liked and Trump and the US admin was going to support them every step of the way. What was more the US was going to stop putting money into the UN if they carried on with this complaining so they had better just shut up and take it, he said with a smile - that was the gist of it - like a quote from an Israeli I had for my sig where they said they can do anything they like now because the US is supporting them whatever they want to do.......

    Not sure when the program came out but it was recent. Now my guess is possibly the Trump Team is getting a bit concerned about it being so obvious so early that they are saying to hell with law (Muslim immigration ban- he used the word ban in his twitter again today). - could also though just be his narcissism and him thinking 'whoa there. You wait till I tell you I am giving'. Was listening to a lot of real news last night. They believe the same neo cons who got in when Bush was around, those involved in The Project for the New American Century
    are now off again with Trump, starting of course with war with Iran. If so they are going to create hell on earth for everyone.

    Yes, like Cast Lead. Interesting the euphemisms used by Israel when murdering innocent civilians.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Maybe someone told him what a monumentally stupid idea that was, and he actually listened for once in his life.

    And yet you seem to be posting virtually 24/7. How you manage to do all that other stuff as well is pretty impressive.

    How would you know, lad? I'll be happy to accept a wager of one sort or another. Care to suggest one? For a signature, perhaps?

    Easy to explain. As you know, I almost always post one-liners, sometimes two or three-liners. That's because I always post in between tasks, between e-mails, at breakfast, in the car, on the train, in the airport lounge, at 37,000 feet. Tomorrow, I'll post more for I'll be watching Super Bowl at which my team is not playing. Monday comes, will be posting at different very times, for will be in Europe and Asia for a week.

    I'm addicted to this forum, so do what I can to post, at least a little something :)

    Losers can be choosers, can they? No, but they can be beggars.

    Look, war is hell, and someone always gets a crappy deal. Enough with begging; Palestinians were offered many deals, and have chosen instead to strap on a suicide vest. That's their lot then.

    Jaffa was done before any 'war' had begun. In reality Jaffa and similar were the reason the arab armies came in. The Palestinians had no ability to protect themselves. The British saw to that in its response to the 36-9 rebellion. Indeed the British at the time had a responsibility of care towards the Palestinians which it did not adhere to. Jaffa was the ethnic cleansing of defenceless people - indeed it was quite literally the Zionists pushing the Palestinians into the sea.

    You're already up to your ears in the brown stuff. I am guessing your ultimate goal is absolute committal.

    Jaffa was a mixed city.
    Jaffa is still a mixed city where Arabs and Jews live together and thrive.

    Ah, the joys of being a "flight attendant" for Israel's El Al airline.

    Enjoy all the free peanuts and Coke while you can.

    An international law is safely violated by every country of the world and yet, I do not see you and yours complain about it too often. Does Hamas violate international laws? Does Palestinian Authority? You bet your sweet bippy they do, to the extent of their abilities.

    Did you know, there's over a thousand resolutions by UN, condemning Israel for this and that? Wanna guess how many resolutions were passed by UN over the years, condemning Palestinians?

    Apparently he thinks so, yes.

    The myth (repeating it that is) It's a trusty rule of thumb by which to judge those who want so much to have a positive view of Zionism ..... but have nothing but myths from which to draw any strength. Had they bothered to do some real digging they would have either found something good about Zionism, or come to the realization that it is criminal by default.

    If Israel does something bad, it is proof that Israel is evil. If Israel does something admirable, it is proof that Israel is evil. If Arabs do something bad, it is because Israel is evil.
