Dennis – I think it is somewhat irrelevant if there was no earlier basis of Palestinian identity since it has since “emerged” as an identity. Many ancestors of current Israelis thought of themselves as Germans or South Africans or Argentines 80 or 150 years ago or just thought of themselves as Jews living in Baghdad who said “Next Year in Jerusalem” without much thought to there being a Government of Israel … – so perceptions change with time.

As for Obama (or Bush or Clinton) – it appears that the further one is from ever having done combat, the more likely they are to send people to die without thinking it over…. Eisenhower, on the other hand, showed great restraint

Correction: I meant to write "the number of Mexicans living illegally in the United States is zero." There being no constitutional law to prevent them from living here, they are by definition not doing so illegally.

The number of Mexicans living in the United States is: Zero.

A federal power to regulate immigration was debated and rejected when the Constitution was written.

No such power exists, nor can it exist short of constitutional amendment. And, as Mr. Marshall said, “a law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”

Please add this: http://www.laissez-fairerepublic.com/TenPlanks.html

Have we implemented all of these Planks into our Republic or just trashed the Republic’s Constitution and are now operating under a different set of rules?

So, why do we even give a damn what happens elsewhere when we have been sold into slavery here by our Congress?????

Excuse me…I’m going out for a Bloody Mary – double-shot, extra hot!

Whatever happened to avoiding ENTANGLING ALLIANCES? 1. Re ISRAEL & PALESTINIANS:
http://letusreason.org/Biblexp63.htm
2. Re MEXICO/MEXICANS: Research LA RAZA, RECONQUISTA, and AZTLAN. 3. If anyone has been watching INSPECTOR AMERICA on the HISTORY CHANNEL, you will see we, AMERICA, have more pressing problems in our backyard than Mexico, Israel & “Palestinians”, Libya, Egypt, etc. IT IS TIME TO ADMIT TO OUR SITUATION AND IMPROVE IT. Other countries have benefited from our largess for decades and it is now time for us to attend to our internal problems and needs. I am sorry but we cannot help anyone if we bleed-out more than we have bled already. Place the sign on Congressional doors: CLOSED TO FOREIGNERS – OPEN TO DOMESTIC BUSINESS ONLY!

But the imperative question is “Whose fault is it?” I think your choice of words is a little excessive, Ilana. Abomination? Really?

Watched his speech before the American Congress. Two ironies: he got a better reception in Congress than he would addressing the Knesset and he got a better reception than Obama (or a Republican) would from Congress.

Speech was generally some platitudes with predictive applause lines. Still it contained nonsense about wanting to negotiate with a Palestinian “democracy” but never to negotiate with Hamas (well, duhhhhh – who elected Hamas – the Eskimos??) …

In fact, since most Palestinians WANT YOU DEAD (and hate you far more than they love themselves!), there is little or nothing to ever be negotiated …

It seems to me that the House is for sale.

Doesn’t make me wonder at all. Congress hasn’t worked for us for some time, if ever.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
