Well I guess we have another winner, Freidman compares the Jewish Group J-Street to Nazi sympathizers, all in for Israel annexing the west bank and thinks Huma Abedin is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. I guess this is what people voted for, no surprise.

Mr. Friedman, who has no diplomatic experience, has said that he does not believe it would be illegal for Israel to annex the occupied West Bank and he supports building new settlements there, which Washington has long condemned as illegitimate and an obstacle to peace.

Why shouldn't Israel annex the west bank? Last I heard it was populated with squatters that do not belong there.

Israel will clean it up, develop it and make it into a showplace.

Aren't you forgetting that the Democrats in the Senate have to sign-off on his appointment?

He shall have the Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The "Palestinians " have been given plenty of chances for peace.

They can live by Israel's rules or pack up their crap and move to Jordan.

F the Palestinians and cut off all money to Israel.

What's your beef with the Palestinians? They do something to you? Why are you taking sides in an internecine conflict in a region thousands of miles from where you live and doesn't affect your life one way or another?

You ain't Jewish, Arab, Asian, or Middle Eastern. You've got no skin in the game. You've got battles RIGHT HERE that you should be taking up.
