I don't do Bhudda and I don't like the cold much either... which is probably why I learned Spanish instead of Gaelic, German or French.

Paldi5: You don't think Max has a point of view, that he just made it all up? Let me tell you something. A lot of people think like him, that Europe had no right to try to solve their "problem" and assuage their "holocaust guilt" by sending all their Jews off to live in a little enclave in the Middle East.

The Res 181 partition left the Jews with a clearly indefensible amount of land amidst as well as surrounded by "a lot" of people who objected to their presence big time and they knew it even though Golda said it was a land without people. It's not just Max.

In my opinion, more Jews should have stayed in Europe and made a go of it there. They knew the territory and had a large infrastructure they could have taken back. Their presence might have helped keep the Arabs out.

East Prussia would have been fine as a place to start. Close to Russia Eastern Europe and Germany, and would have given some light behind what was to become the iron curtain. Instead they gave the enclave to Russia.

Lost your sense of humor Gininitaly, I see?

But what I said there is true. It started with Assad, Nasser and Arafat. That instead of negotiating with Israel in good faith for peace over the Moslem lands lost in the early wars. Refused to talk to Israel. Nasser did exactly that when he hardened the Arab League against Isreal, Giniitaly.

Then in the mid period of the conflict. Arafat and Assad and eventually Iran and Iraq both became either terrorist supporting or terrorist themselves. Know that Israel would not negotiate with terrorist. Another block to negotiations.

Finally you have the trivial issue of a few hectrarce of land in Jerasulem were the Israeli have built. When all of Islam has millions of hectarces of land available for settlement of the Palestines. But just those few acres just have to the one that they have to have.
Again a block to negotiations.

So? The way I see it.....with the admission that Israeli occupation wars in Lebanon and Gaza also blocks to negotiations on peace. Muslim have strung and blocked the two state solution out for 60 years since it was first proposed by the LBJ administration.

Albertaghost: Would you deny Muslims statehood just to deny Jewish people theirs?

""The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a plan to replace the British Mandate for Palestine with "Independent Arab and Jewish States" and a "Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem" administered by the United Nations. On 29 November 1947 the General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union as Resolution 181.

Under the plan, the Mandate would be terminated as soon as possible and the United Kingdom would withdraw from Palestine no later than the previously announced date of 1 August 1948. The new states would come into existence two months after the withdrawal, but no later than 1 October 1948. The plan sought to address the conflicting objectives and claims of two competing movements: Jewish nationalism (Zionism) and Arab nationalism. The plan included a detailed description of the recommended boundaries for each proposed state. The plan also called for an economic union between the proposed states, and for the protection of religious and minority rights.

The proposed plan was accepted by the leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine, through the Jewish Agency. The plan was rejected by leaders of the Arab community, including the Palestinian Arab Higher Committee, who were supported in their rejection by the states of the Arab League.

Under the plan, a transitional period under United Nations auspices was to begin with the adoption of the resolution, and last until the establishment of the two states. Immediately after UN adoption of the Resolution, the Civil War broke out. The partition plan was not implemented.

In 2011, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas stated that the Arab rejection of the partition plan was a mistake he hoped to rectify.""


The UN should have stopped the civil war and gone ahead with the partition, as planned and approved, much as they are attempting to stop the fighting now in Syria. Given that there were no Security Council vetoes of Res 181 that should have been possible and the proper thing to do. IMHO

Well that would take care of the Jews from that region but what about the ones from where Israel is now and the ones from surrounding countries that were expelled?

Sides, there was no partition of Prussia for Jews and Palestinians, it only happened in the British Palestine Mandate.

I agree, their place is in the Middle East.

Of course, the Jews would likely not have been expelled from those Arab lands if Israel hadn't pushed out the Arabs during the Civil War and the follow on hostilities. As I understand it, those refugees were evicted in retaliation for the Arabs being forced or otherwise encouraged to flee and go live in refugee camps.

She is Jewish from her mother's side of the family... German Jew. Her dad was a Catholic fro Slovakia. She plays the harp professionally. I never called her a Jew Harp. I said she owns 14 harps, one of which is a jew harp.

Jude is a Palistinian infant named in honor of the Jewish family who attended her birth and removed the umbilical cord that was choking the life out of her. I thought it was a fitting tribute for her parents to name her "Jude." It is a story of hope and two peoples living together in peace. Go google it if you don't believe me.

Expert: 'Settlements' Are Legal, Look at the UN Documents
Former ambassador Dr. Meir Rosenne: The Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are legal. International law says this.
By Elad Benari
First Publish: 4/5/2012, 1:16 AM

Dr. Meir Rosenne, former Israeli ambassador to the United States and France, said on Wednesday that the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are legal and that this is true under international law.

Rosenne spoke to Arutz Sheva a day after the prosecutor for the International Criminal Court in The Hague rejected a complaint filed by the Palestinian Authority against Israel for alleged war crimes during "Operation Cast Lead" in Gaza in 2009.

The prosecutor explained that only states can file a complaint with the International Criminal Court, noting that the PA is only an observer at the United Nations and not a member state.

Dr. Rosenne noted that “the PA is not a country. It has a Palestinian Authority and Hamas which controls Gaza but they have no country. All UN documents dealing with Resolution 242 do not mention the word Palestinian.”

He added that although some people may not be aware of this, under international law the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria have full legal status.

“American jurists such as former ICJ President Stephen Schwebel have said that Israel has more rights to Judea and Samaria,” said Rosenne. “Any legal expert who looks at the UN documents will see that there is no such concept as the West Bank or the occupied territories, but rather Judea and Samaria. That is the terminology that appears in the most official documents.”

Dr. Rosenne added that according to the Geneva Convention, all the Jewish communities are legal, saying, “Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention says that an occupying power cannot forcibly move citizens to occupied territory. This was true during World War II when the Germans forcefully moved German citizens to occupied Polish territories. In our case, Israel never occupied Judea and Samaria. Judea and Samaria is an area that has never belonged to another country. Jordanian occupation was never recognized, just as the Egyptian occupation of Gaza was not recognized. The fate of these areas should be determined by negotiations among the parties. The settlers never forcibly entered anywhere, nor were they moved there, so they are perfectly legal.”

He also noted that, according to the Geneva Convention, terrorists imprisoned in Israel should not be considered prisoners of war.

“The Geneva Convention states that a prisoner of war is a man who openly carried weapons and wore uniforms and respected the laws of war,” said Rosenne. “The terrorists do not carry arms openly, they do not have uniforms and they do not respect the laws of war when they kill children. They are not party to the conflict because no Arab state has adopted them. Nevertheless, Israel allows every terrorist to meet with an attorney.”

ooby_dooby: IMO the UN has proven itself to be a bunch of bunglers with the way they have screwed up the creation of Israel while leaving Palestine hanging in limbo for 65 years. It's outrageous. They did a really sloppy job with India & Pakistan too which came very close to erupting into a nuclear war by leaving Kashmire unresolved.

The world placed a lot of trust in the UN at the beginning but it may have been better if they were required to earn that trust instead of just inheriting it.
Unfortunately Res 181 was never implemented therefore we still don't know if it would work. I would have voted FOR it still. Palestine absolutely deserves its own state.


That's basically my view as well. Lesson: Brits are just not very good at administering things long term laugh

Paldi5: I agree, sadly Israel seems to need enemies and goes out of their way to create them or provoke them to fury (Hamas, Iraq, Turkey and now Iran) so they have a pretext to justify their expansionist activities.

Everybody knows the land allotted in the 1948 Partition Plan was fine and generous for those Jews already living there and even some portion of those living in the camps in Europe but too small for Israeli's greater needs in the future.

They wanted war to break out, they prayed for it, they were jubilent about the opportunity presented by the 1948 civil war to take Jerusalem and anything else they could grab.

There is still land lust...

If they can, at least a third of the Sinai will be retaken soon, probably all of it. Then the Latani will be retaken in the next serious flare-up with Lebanon. All of the so-called West Bank will be annexed and Gaza too. Just a matter of time and pretext. Iran is in the way and must be neutralized soon... sigh
