We don’t get kids on Halloween. But when I lived down there, I’d give like full-size candy bars out. Why not? Halloween’s like the GD World Series for kids. Might as well make it worthwhile.

I can support whatever I want. However, you as a Democrat must follow your alliances. If you are against Putin, you have to be against all his allies. By your logic, Bulgaria has to give their land back to Turkey as they occupied us for 500 years. I think issues like that are too complicated for a mew worlder like you. Oh, I see now. You defend the occupiers because if not, the US has to return the land to the Native Americans.

That is a silly argument.   

Of course all land can't go back, but I reckon we can have a reasonable cut off point, at least 50's or 60's. Otherwise it is wide open and putin is right, yours is what you can take.

And no, I don't have to follow alliances against morals and law. Biden is dead wrong on this one.

Over 500 people on both sides are dead.
  Once it's over, it will serve only to increase armament flowing from America to Israel. And strengthen Netanyahu.
  On one respect I agree with Mark.
  This wasn't a shock to the Israelis.
 They knew it was going to happen.

Bibi and his henchmen are no better than putin and his.  They all need a short rope over a long drop.

I know that. You all missed my point.
I didn’t miss anything. I am just correcting your mistake.

That won't be happening any more than the Iranians losing control of their own country will happen. Just like the corrupt Venezuelan government will not lose control. The same reason Putin won't lose control.

I am saying he is dead wrong on this issue. 

And past the participants, this silly shite has cost the USA many lives and a lot of treasure, it needs to end post haste with two equal sized states. T'wer I the POTUS, an American army would enforce that.

A lot of things couldn't happen, until they did.

"..Palestinians are not all “terrorists” nor are Israelis, they are not all true-believers in the forever holy-war.  And most are exhausted of the terror of war.  I’m not cheering on a side, war isn’t an internet sport,  it is the result of unimaginative governments run by small men.."


Tell you what, there is another way to end this. One country and everyone gets a vote. Democracy.  It could be a powerhouse of religious tourism.

I've noticed lately that as modern weaponry becomes more lethal it's getting harder and harder to overthrow an established government. Things change and not always for the better.

No, my point was that Americans didn’t discover it.
