    Read all of my last post, Ronstar. Perhaps then, it may make some sense to you.

    They figured they could wipe Israel out and take it all... Oops!

    LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY: Congressmen Call for Disclosure of U.S. Aid to Palestinian Terrorists.

    Reps. David McKinley (R., W.V.) and John Ratcliffe (R., Texas) are circulating a letter to Republican offices urging them to join an effort to compel the State Department to detail the amount of taxpayer money that has been used by the Palestinian government to pay terrorists under a longstanding policy known as “pay to slay.”

    Following passage of the Taylor Force Act, which requires the Palestinian government to stop these payments or face a full cutoff in aid, the lawmakers are seeking to immediately freeze U.S. aid to the Palestinians until the State Department explains to lawmakers how it plans to enforce the new law.

    The letter follows a recent Free Beacon report disclosing that the Palestinian Authority continues to spend U.S. aid dollars on terrorists. Palestinian officials have also made clear that they have no intention of following the new law and will continue to provide terrorists and their familiar with compensation.

    “We urge you to immediately suspend all aid payments to the Palestinian Authority,” the lawmakers write, according to a copy of the letter viewed by the Free Beacon. “Further, we urge you to make the cessation of this abhorrent practice that incentivizes terrorism a pre-condition for any U.S.-brokered peace talks between the sovereign state of Israel and the Palestinian Authority.”

    Indeed. But that would do nothing to solve the root problem, which is that Congress has effectively surrendered its power of the purse to the Executive Branch.

    Too bad the Israeli Supreme Court trumps any and every US State department "report" on the subject. Do you recall the definition of sovereignty? You sure do seem to have forgotten the definition of belligerent military occupation.

    Indeed. Still, this decision by the United States has implications when the Congress considers financial assistance to Palestinians and Israel.

    Bravo, President Trump :applause:

    Well, we both know that's not true. The IDF is all over the WB, and Gaza.

    I knew it. You don't want to listen some else arguments because you are so sure you are right.

    The Israeli Supreme Court is a Neo-Zionist court .. so their opinion does not count.
    Judea and Samaria are Israeli territories taken legally from JORDAN not Palestine.
    When Jordan becomes Palestine - they things will settle.

    Wow, this is truly awesome news!

    Russia and her allies grabbed the attention and agreement of Mr. Yasar Arafat back in the 1970's, '80's, '90's until his death in 2004........
    by funneling him somewhere between one to three billion dollars........

    .... but truly the stakes at this time are much, much, much higher!

    P. M. Netanyahu, President Trump has a 4.3 trillion dollar problem....

    The West Bank was part of Jordan when Israel and Jordan went to war in 1967.
    Jordan relinquished its claim on the WB in 1988 and ceded the WB to Israel by treaty in October 1994.
    This, the WB has not been occupied by Israel for almost 25 years.

    I totally agree.... this is an insignificant sum in comparison to the value of
    even one life really...........

    and Israel has already developed the technology that I believe can save the world economy......
    and environment.

    Easy one. Thanks for asking, Dutch. The reason is that Israel (and Trump) tout it to be a shining light of respect for Human Rights, and it obviously isn't. ISIL does not. Hamas does not. Israel does. And it is a blatant lie.

    So that is why. Capiche?5

    No, do not capiche at all. Seldom does Israel being chastised for the "human rights violations" per se - Israeli citizens enjoy equal rights and I can sight multiple examples to you. What is Israel blamed for (besides being full of Jews, that is)?

    Fascism
    Ethnic cleansing
    Apartheid
    Colonialism
    Being occupant
    State sponsored war crimes against Palestinians

    Rinse, repeat. And none of it is true, of course.

    Welcome back, by the way :hug:

    Fighting terrorist trying to harm your country is not a war crime.

    It is actually criminal to it’s own citizens the restraints they hold.

    They don’t commit war crimes! They defend themselves from a genocidal enemy. An enemy that has no problem firing missiles from school yards, apartment building and mosques. Store weapons in hospitals. Use children as human shield. They are sick people

Read it if you dare, Dutch.Then imagine if that were attemtpted in reverse. Wait!!! It is happening ....Mueller's investigation!! Since the U.S. and Israel have declared this to be appropriate international behaviour, Russia has joined the chaos.

    Yet another mega-fail, Dutch. What do you use for facts .... just asking.

    "they do persecute their own who breaks the law" ... you are hilarious, Dutch. Many thanks.
