Plenty of nations have given up land that they fought for at some point in history. Borders are fluid...always have been.

Bottom line is this: if Israel doesn't want to give back the land, then don't inquire with us about what to do. Take ALL of the land. Hell, for maximum security, why not take Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan too? I don't give a damn. But don't do it, then fly here and expect us to smile at you and give you a hi-5. Take the land, and be prepared to defend it against relentless attacks.

But Netanyahu should do whatever the hell he wants. It's his country. If he doesn't like Obama (and he doesn't), then don't seek council from him. Ignore him and keep doing what you've been doing. (shrugs shoulders)

First off, a few Palestinians celebrating the Septmber 11 attacks should not represent all of the Palestinian people.

Second, the Palestinians have gone through their own 9/11s time and time again. Remember our pain as a nation when we were attacked? That's what the Palestinians in Gaza go through year after year when Israel kills one thousand women and children and blows up their schools, shopping districts, and civilian refugee centers.

Third, we should have no close friends in the region. That would mean we stop blindly supporting Israel in light of all the crimes they commit and stop paying taxes that go to Israel when we could be using that money to make sure all Americans can afford college or funding projects that benefit Americans living in America.

It's because of our blind support for Israel that anti-American sentiment is prevalent in the Middle East and it's because of our blind support for Israel that 9/11 happened in the first place!

Those "peace" signs you see repeatedly flashed by many of these arabs means victory, not peace. V for victory.

Our president just sided with these guys against Israel.

you do realize that the reason we are hated by Palestinians is because we've long supported Israel.

I mean honestly there may be a lot of people in the middle east who hate america... but it's not like it's without any reason.

Maybe if we hadn't been screwing around in their business for fifty years they wouldn't hate us.

It's funny that they've only ""hated us for our freedoms" since we started supporting Israel and that they were completely quiet about it before then.

Go to the West Bank and say you love America (assuming you do). Then after that go to the Gaza Strip and express your feelings about equal rights for women, race and religious freedoms and tolerance. I promise you would understand what true hatred is. Who celebrates in the streets on camera when 3,000 people are murder in a terrorist attack? Make no mistake about it, America has enemies and the Palestinian people have made it clear to us which side they are on. Israel is going to look out for self just like any other country but they would never plan an attack on us or celebrate one.

hahaha.

just to be clear that doesn't mean that i find them cheering 9/11 any less disgusting.

but i mean it's not like they just woke up one day and decided to hate us. the hatred of USA in the region is very much deserved.

Yea, that is pretty odd. Never thought about it like that.

I'd hate whoever gave backing to the person who killed my sister and mother while cutting off electricity and restricting water supplies to me, too.
