Our host made this comment regarding Israel and territorial claims. I have to challenge this: Israel’s position is clear. Burn Hamas to the ground and set the ashes on fire. “We don’t seek to govern Gaza, we don’t seek to occupy it. But we seek to give it and us a better future … and that requires defeating Hamas,” he said. “I’ve set goals, I didn’t set a timetable because it can take more time.” Israel has fought 2 wars of annihilation at least twice against its Islamic Nation State Neighbors. Israel’s acquiring through these wars and incursions upon its security as a buffer zone against these neighbors. Israel had not stepped one inch into Gaza in 20 plus years. Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria have not lost large swaths of territory dunces Israel’s creation. No, Israel is not “growing like a cancer.” However, Islamic motivated violence has once again. | ||

Agree. History tells the true story. Israel has ceded all the territory that the Palestinians are living in. Yet, Hamas wants to fight as do Hezbollah and Iran. Yet no country that worships Allah will take any refugees... That is against the Koran... Go figure. | |||

For those who ignorant of history. The Arabs had all of palestine before the Brits gave it to the Zionists. Creating another, modern, form of Nazism. Here it is for your education. The Balfour Declaration This letter to Lord Rothschild, by the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour, was aimed at Jewish support for the Allies in the First World War. The letter, known as the "Balfour Declaration" became the basis movement to create a Jewish state in Palestine. The letter was published a week later in The Times (London) of London Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917 Dear Lord Rothschild: I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet: His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing nonJewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours, Arthur James Balfour | |||

Well, then. The UAE should take at least half a dozen. After all, the Palestinians are Arab brothers, right? | |||

So, Saeed, explain your reasoning behind the cleansing of Jews from all the Arab countries. I'd wager there are more Arabs in little Israel than there are Jews left in all the Arab countries. | |||

Israel was permitting Palestinians to enter Israel for work before this indescribable violence. Nothing Saeed has diss changed anything. I agree w Israel holding a buffer zone they won in multiple wars that sought their annihilation. There is no need for Israel to keep peace w Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel has tried. Israel had given up any claim and vacated Gaza for over 20 years. Despite Hamas being the ruling Party. Hamas, supported by Iran, has shown how Islamic religious nuts who control the state return this good faith by Israel. Here we have Saeed, who is more or less responsible and enlightened, implying that Israel should not exist when he says: The Arabs had all of palestine before the Brits gave it to the Zionists. Creating another, modern, form of Nazism. We know how Israel was created. Guess what, it was promised in 1917, and the creation of Israel was a good thing. Israel has more than won its status as a nation state. Hamas and the states that support it have won their status as Islamic terrorist. Hamas and Palestinian had and could have Gaza. They chose war on a barbaric scale. They made this choice because the extreme, mid evil reading of their Holly book teaches the Jews must be, at best subjected, at worst, exterminated. That is the cancer from N Africa, to the Middle East, and up Asia Minor. Somehow, sympathy and near support for these who bring destruction has spread into a segment of our culture. Luckily, I see these people being rebuked by and large in the market place of ideas. | |||

There was no ISRAEL then. The cancer was created in 1948 and has been growing ever since! With attitudes like these, forget to see an end to crimes against innocent civilians. Of course, America knows nothing about killing innocent civilians! Agent Orange still killing people in South East Asia. Bombing schools, mosques, and homes is just normal for your government! You really deserve Biden, Trump and Kamala! | |||

Typical Islamic based racist bias and rantings...How about we go back to...

If it is your position that the Palestinians hold some claim over it based ion a Bristish colonial period mandate, then history will disagree with you. Naming it Israel is a purely modern touch, has no real bearing on when and where the Jewish people have lived and prospered for centuries. Macs B U.S. Army Retired Alles gut! | |||
