    Yes and that region is also called the West Bank per international agreements that even Israel has signed.

    Yes it does. And I told you why - it’s pretty impossible for Arabs to say Judea or Samaria - a heart attack or a violent action may ensue.

    Isn't it astounding to see posts that bash Israel as evil but never mention the arabs Israel is fighting are desperately trying to destroy the world, one infidel at a time?

    Spoils of war. Brits just happened to be the ones to take it from the Ottomans in WW1. And then the remapping of the Middle East by the Euro Powers at the time after WW1 made for lots of fun stuff in the sand box.

    Similarly, should every region of the US only be referred to by the Native American names used millennia ago?

    It's quite astonishing that the UK has evaded responsibility for all their crimes including revising published history on favor of the British establishment view.

    Genocide in Africa, India, Australia and the USA were all criminal acts by the UK.

    The UK keeps aggravating it's crimes against the Palestinians by their continuing support of Israeli actions against Palestinians.

    It's criminal how USA, UK and France keep walking back decades of UN Security Council resolutions condemning Israel for its occupation and settlements while they cannot repeal those existing UNSC resolutions because none of USA, UK and France are brazen enough to submit a resolution repealing all the previous UNSC condemnations of Israel which the USA either voted for or abstained.

    Ever been to Maryland or Georgia? Pretty sure those weren’t called that two millennia ago.

    The West Bank and East Jerusalem is LEGALY under Israeli military occupation.

    Even the Israeli Supreme Court agrees.

    Been to both. Probably weren’t always called that, no. It was just a question.

    Cis-Jordan, otherwise known as the West Bank, is legally under Israeli military occupation.

    Israeli military law governs the settlements. They are not under Israeli civilian law.

    The actions of the Israeli military are crimes.

    Many Israeli military leaders require special actions by foreign governments to prevent them being arrested when they are overseas.

    These all are small, insignificant countries practicing their own brand of socialism, having nothing to do with socialism of peasants and proletariat. They’re not socialist.

    And just what is your real attitude toward people who surpass you in the creation of wealth or in other accomplishments? Do you aspire to equal their excellence, or does it make you seethe? Do you admire and celebrate exceptional achievement, or do you impugn it and seek to tear it down? Caroline Glick, the dauntless deputy managing editor of the Jerusalem Post, sums it up: “Some people admire success; some people envy it. The enviers hate Israel.

    I don't envy Israel's success in killing Palestinians just because they can do so with impunity.

    Killing Palestinians doesn't create wealth or represent excellence.

    No, it does not. Being exceptional in economics, finances, industry, science, entrepreneurship, technology does.

    I hear you except she actually has a degree in international relations-and does not have the balls to make a definitive statement.

    Agreed-it also fosters resentment and hate.

    When was the last time you saw a happy leftist?

    One of these days I'd like to go. Maybe even do some bird watching between visits to museums and holy sites.

    Hard to say if it was an affirmative action appointment.

    Im not impressed-she was (slightly) pressed on the situation in Israel, and holds a degree in international relations (and economics lol)

    and yet she tapped out on the question. (likely no talking points downloaded prior)

    She's just the new face on the same marxist meat puppet.

    Nothing special, except to lefties-and they'd turn on her as soon as their newest talking points were uploaded.

    Something to ponder-Obama was a meat puppet as well. He won for that, but America lost and lefties are now paying the political price.

    You could learn from this, but I don't know that you will.

    Killing Palestinians creates wealth for the Zionist government and in the minds of the bigoted far right it does represent excellence.

    By the way, that wealth is financed by American tax dollars much to the delight of the far right.

    Israel is 20th in country list of GDP per capita and 35th in GDP per capita by purchasing power parity. Is there something exceptional about being 20th or 35th?
