US might set out its own peace plan in January...

[shaayecanaan]

according to Zahava Gal-on, MK from Meretz:-

Zahava Gal-on, MK said that she had received information that the United States would be introducing a new peace proposal in January for a permanent status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

Hard to say how credible this is. The response from Netanyahu is that he says he will consider any proposal but will not bow down to external pressure from outsiders, blah blah blah.

1. The response from Netanyahu and Israel will be "F*ck You" as usual.

Seriously, why does the USA fund Israel 30-40 Billion a decade?

2. There's no question about it. Netanyahu following earlier Zionist regimes have taken too much,

too much to allow a possible Palestinian state somehow residing between the Jordan and the Mediterranean.

These 2013 "peace talks" are a farce too absurd to credit. Believe it, there is enough shame to spread around.

3. Probably for the same reason that New York aldermen

in the 1980s would pass motions lauding Israel for its fight against terror and then immediately thereafter pass an almost-diametrically opposite motion praising the Irish Republican Army (presumably for fighting in support of terror).

Personally, I cannot believe that the US government willingly pays 58% on top of reasonable market prices for drugs for Medicare. But it is amazing how thoroughly corrupted American politics is.

4. You're worried about the USA funding only Israel but never Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan....

Combined, they get more $$ than Israel but I'd bet dollars to donuts you've never raised a fuss over your tax dollars going there.

Seriously, why don't you care that the USA funds those countries to the tune of 10's of billions of dollars a decade?

5. And here come the distractions.

This is I/P.

Nice try at distracting from the OP, but anybody thats takes a second to read your pablum can see through to your evil core.

6. Results of the jury

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

"...see through to your evil core" Personal attacks don't get much more personal and offensive than calling a DUer "evil". Thanks.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Nov 7, 2013, 02:14 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Over the top.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't think the quoted phrase is a personal attack.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

7. That just goes to show you that

there are enough level-headed DUers serving in the jury system.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

8. This time.

[azurnoir]

9. have you ever read the name calling accusations that poster has leveled at

at anyone who disagrees with her, or is it you agree with them?

[AnotherMcIntosh]

10. Were you the alerter?

[azurnoir]

11. no in fact ummm he##s no

I thought you were

[AnotherMcIntosh]

12. No reason to think that. IMO, there are serial alerters who will unjustifiably alert.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

14. And yet you were privy to the alert...

I guess that it just fell into your lap.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

16. Not exactly. I was privy to the results because I was one of the jurors, either #2 or 4.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

20. Well then I guess that I deserve one of these.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. I'm not sure what you mean?

Are you hoping for less level-headed DUers?


What a silly thing to wish for.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

15. I once posted in the Israel/Palestine Group and found my post immediately hidden.

I still don't understand how the Holocaust justifies actions taken against Palestinian children or adults.

IMO, there are serial alerters who will unjustifiably alert. IMO, there are also serial alerters who will bait other posters and will stalk until they have elicited the wrong phrase or wrong word. When enough alerts are filed, sooner or later they will find a jury that will agree with them.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

17. Which still doesn't answer how the alert fell into your lap...

[AnotherMcIntosh]

18. See #16 above.

[Violet_Crumble]

19. They were on the jury.

They voted to leave it alone
