    And she is absolutely correct. It is just a continuation of the ongoing , nonstop efforts of the Iranian-backed terrorists of HAMAS, who send their OWN CHILDREN forward into battles they create.


    It is AWESOME having a NON-ANTI-AMERICAN, NON-APOLOGIST-GROVELER as our UN Ambassador...for a CHANGE....


    Nikki Haley denies Gaza violence is related to new US Embassy in Jersualem

    At an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council Tuesday, United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley denied the violence in Gaza Monday had anything to do with the U.S. opening up its new embassy in Jerusalem.

    “Rather, the violence comes from those who reject the existence of the state of Israel in any location,” Haley said. “The location of the embassy has no bearing on the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, or the resolution of contested borders. … It does not undermine the prospects for peace in any way.”

    Haley placed the blame for the violence, in which at least 60 people were killed according to Gaza’s health ministry, squarely on Hamas terrorists, backed by Iran.


    Before the session, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon told reporters Hamas has committed a “double war crime” for inciting both Israel and its own people. Danon said Israel regrets every casualty, but the people on the border are a “mob” carrying explosives.

    Yo, it was the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, yeah, I think they might’ve been protesting something specific.

    Nikki is half right (still batting about .450 better than her president)... this violence isn't due specifically to the embassy move, but saying "it does not undermine the prospects for peace in any way.” is BS political spin... All this shows is that the US is no longer in position to mediate the peace... don't know who will step into that void...

    We were never in a position to 'meditate' the peace. No one can meditate peace in a 70-year long civil war where both sides hate each other. In fact, it was the West who promised to both sides and thus started our present predicament. We need these two sides to talk amongst themselves, without interference by anybody.

    The entire muslim religion is predicated on the elimination of the Hebrews.

    Please cite when they HAVE NOT been actively attacking the State of Israel....

    They were just using it as an excuse, some have said. Which, considering history, makes sense.
    Terrorists and their ilk arent exactly "peaceful" :mad:

    You know and I know they won't "talk amongst themselves"... it will take a situation much like the Camp David meetings between Carter, Israel, and Egypt to kick start things, except now there is no reasonably neutral 3rd party to take the reigns since we have announced complete alliance with one side and completely ignored the other.....

    To be fair, it's kinda hard to undermine a prospect that doesn't exist.

    No one.

    While the Palis say we're no longer in position to mediate the peace the Israelis are going to contend otherwise.

    So what we're left with is an excuse for the likes of Hamas to dispense with its pretenses. While that may be liberating for them it's not terribly illuminating for everyone else...

    Were we ever a neutral 3rd party broker? I argue to you that we weren't. Maybe, it was time to definitively pick a side, and that would enable a conflict resolution.

    And how do you see that going exactly? How does us fully supporting Israel without any concessions from Bibi get anybody closer to "enabling a conflict resolution"? Prospects were dim before, but it's pretty much pitch black now...

    It's akin to Black Privilege in America.....


    with the left's blessing, Islamists can say and do literally anything and expect no reaction from Israel.

    You are probably correct.... peace was dying on the vine over there before this, but this rips the vine out of the ground, at least as far as any possibility the US had of being the catalyst for the peace....

    But it's still a misleading statement from Haley... people will remember it...

    Back at the Cap One center tonight... need to keep the momentum at home... Still no Backstrom tonite... Will need him at some point in these playoffs...

    The "Palestinians" are going to try and kill Israelis whether there's even an embassy or not. Anyone crazy enough to believe otherwise is subject to Hamas terrorism propaganda.

    Islam is a religion of peace. How could there be violence?

    The Caps are looking like a machine even without the incredible Backstrom; I think they have the Lightning's number...and they're headed to the finals. Happy with either the Jets or Knights...both are playing some serious, hard hitting hockey right now....

    seriously how would you feel if someone took over your home, left you with nothing. I'm support of Israel, but Palestinians is in bad shape there is a reason why they hate Israelis much more than arab.

    The land that was theirs they REFUSED, and is now part of JORDAN and SYRIA. They cannot get along with ANYONE, and have ZERO ECONOMY...except for what Israel gives them. This will be true no matter WHERE THEY GO...ask Jordan...they tried to help them. ( Search term: "Black September" )

    I don’t see how this gets us to a two state solution and I don’t see an option other than a two state solution.

    Millions of terrorist supporters send tax dollah to Israel to create the violence for them. I guess the scummy little war criminals miss supporting the IRA.
