    “If this resolution had been actually enforced by the international community, and obeyed by Israel, we would most likely be on the verge of a just and lasting peace,” the Special Rapporteur said. “Instead, Israel is in defiance of the resolution, its occupation is more entrenched than ever, the violence it employs against the Palestinians to sustain the occupation is rising, and the international community has no strategy to end the world’s longest military occupation.”

    you have no problem with Israel ignoring the UN and International Law?
    look who i am talking to
    the USA repeatedly ignores International Law, ignores the UN, illegally invades other countries, illegally invaded Iraq despite the UN saying there was no justification, weaponises, funds and supports terrorists, illegally overthrows democratically elected leaders because they refuse to kowtow to the US, destabilises nations so they can keep their military bases there (in Syrias case - stealing Syrian oil), amazing how ISIS miraculously appeared in the Philippines just as the US military were going to be expelled - suddenly they can stay to fight ISIS. has not been at war for 16 years in its history.
    i could go on but i am sure you already know your countries history of global war and terror
    just sayin
    as for your implied statement that I am anti-Semetic because I am from the Republic - I would be saying the same thing regardless of the countries involved - where one ignores UN and International law and has killed on average 1 person each day this year so far in the country they illegally occupy
    not everyone in SAf is racist, that is like me implying every white American is in the KKK
    unlike some, i judge people based on their deeds and action

    Most likely, how absured. A mind set, be it just indoctrinated or genetic in nature, these people are killers. They have a lack of any sense of " humanity ". They revel in violence and crave dominance and power.
    I watched a documentary on mob chimpanzees that brutally and maliciously attacted other chimpanzees. Just for the "sport" of it. I quote sport because well there really isn't a good word for it. They are no better than that.
    What these terrorists are doing to other humans , children, elderly, woman, civilians has ZERO , ZERO to due with land. They could have their land and Still they would find an excuse to do what is happening now some where.. Their leaders much like those that train fighting pit bulls, know if you do not engage your pack in what you trained them in, they will eventually turn their lust of the kill on them.

    Time marches on, time marches on. That Tracy Lawrence song in the background as humans slaughter each other all over the world. Heck St Louis is a warzone.

    Right now, we have some of the lowest gas prices we've had in a year (just in time for my rutcations/deer season) ... that is all about to change I'm afraid ... when a camel farts over there, the oil prices rise as do the fuel prices ...

    If only there was a way where the US could produce all the oil it needs.

    You really don't understand how the oil market works do you? It's a global commodity and right now we produce more oil than we ever have and have that tag of "Energy Independents" which has zero to do with Biden as it did Trump or any other president. We produce more the Saudis produce less and the prices still go up.

    Sota, educate yourself. Sota states something asinine, then attacks back.

    Yep look at that and they have disarmed their citizens.
    What have we allowed in to our country and government. Look at the recent states push to disarm their citizen. Getting ammo is now a joke in NYS.
    Is it really drugs in those big ole back packs on these thousands of get aways? How many drone drops have been made while border patrol baby sit and process illegals instead of being out on the line?

    Hey lets create the Israeli country and put it into the middle of a holy land that another religion claims is their own. Both sides claim it is of the utmost religious significance. Nothing could go wrong. Brilliant.

    Creating Israel and putting it in northern Canada would have been better. Hell, Mexico.

    Sounds cheesy but when thinking of this situation I remembered a line from a Thor movie when one of the people of Asgard worried about the destruction of their homeland. Thors father said, "Asgard is not a place, it's a people". I'd rather live in peace than live like they do, always in danger of death.

    What Would Trump Do

    IMO Trump would be right, it's time to take a step back and let them work it out with words or bombs.

    Sota was correct also, I was just being a smart arse, but I get what he was saying. Crank up oil production even more so the US consumer is not harmed to much while we watch these people annihilate each other.
