I'm afraid they have no proof of that and it's the old paranoid anti-semitism about Jews running the world in secret again.
Look at the evidence Tone, Clinton tried it, and failed, Obama will come a cropper too, mark my words.

I offered you a bet on who will win ths one. You won't take my bet, or any bet, because you know I am right.

It's a Non sequitur - that just because the peace process fails, then Obama must be a Jewish puppet.

You could equally use the same argument to say he is a Pally puppet.

Then accepting the little bits of whatever Israel may deign to grant them? How long do you thnk that would take? Do you see it as realistic?

This is a totally one sided conflict, where Israel is completely in control. They have an iron grip on the freedom of the Palestinians, that is not a good thing. I asked you to put yourself in the place of a Palestinian and you cannot. That is why people like you do not resolve disputes, but rather create and perpetuate them.

Seems that, going on the above that the Israeli govt and Hamas seem to understand and need each other. Recipe for disaster.
Israel has done unilateral withdrawals and ceasefire but these have not promoted peace, instead the other side - whether it be Hamas, other Pally terror groups, Hezzbollah (back by Iran etc), has always gone on the offensive and not reciprocated the Israeli behavior.

So I don't see how you can say Israel holds all the cards.

The Pallies don't even hold all their own cards while the likes of Iran (via Hezzbolah) all have an interest in perpetuating the conflict.

That is what you think isn't it?

Who will win, Obama or Netanyahu? Will you take my bet?
I'm not happy for anyone to be killed off, so stop that disgusting accusation now please.

Get over yourself Tone. I have asked you many times how you see it, you seem incapable of answering.

I am not here to ask questions while you say yes or no selectively.

Explain your view or don't post.

Will you take my bet?

Some Jewish sects don't support Zionism but it's mostly on Theological grounds; they believe the Jewish state should not rise until the Messiah comes.

I'm not sure why you qualify them as 'real Jews'....who are you to decide that?

Who are you to decide that they're not?

Naturei Karta I believe they are called, sound like a very nice bunch, eminently sensible if you ask me.

See, I am not anti Semitic, just anti Zionist.

Tony the offer at camp david was laughable so why do you keep going on about it. That offer was a pisstaking joke and was never going to be acceptable. Arrafat made a counter offer at Taba. The peace talks were then ended by Israel. Those are the facts so stop telling lies.

It was no joke. Arafat would have got 95% of the territory he wanted and compensation for displaced Palestinians.

After Camp David you had the 2nd Intifada and that included cold blooded murder of those two Israeli reservists.

Hardly a great precursor to re-negotiation, and the Israelis had elections.

That 95% was based on land exchanges it was not the land arafat or palestinains wanted it was good fertile occupied farmland exchanged for the negev desert in Israel. In terms of value it was a joke offer. Worthless desert in exchange for farm land ? And still 5% less than what you should have ? You think that is a fair offer ? In any respect there were a variety of other conditions that made the offer a joke. Why can't you accept the relaity of the shambolic offer at camp david.

A question for the Israel supporters, do you accept that the goal of zionism was to remove arabs from the land of Israel ?

Second question. do supporters of Israel accept that if Israel had any intention of leaving the occupied territory then they would never have built jewish villages there ?

It's called negotiation Luan....it's somewhere to start from. Arafat seems to have made the right of return non-negotiable so that seems to be the main problem at Camp David.

Sure, murder an Israeli reservist in cold blood and disembowel him and blame a Politician visiting a temple.

There is a loony settle fringe in Israeli society, but if Israel (as a whole) had no intention to withdraw then why did they withdraw from Gaza and dismantle a number of settlements in the West Bank in 2005.

Don't you remember the scenes on TV of the IDF dragging away screaming settler families from Gaza?

It is interesting because the Likud said this plan would backfire allowing Hamas to use Gaza as a base to attack Israel...and guess what happened?

Why don't they strike a deal so that the Palestinians are given back the occupied territories but lease the area to Israel and charge them. That way the Palestinians can claim to have at last got their land back but Israelis can live their safely.

Simplistic I know but could be a good starting point. Bit like Hong Kong and China and something I have always wondered about in an Ireland/NI context.

How many women and children had he murdered up to that point? How many women and children were saved by his passing?

Oh yeah, he was just following orders, right?

Another question for the tottenham lot. Why do Israels supporters always attribute terrorist attacks as the responsability of the entire palestinian people. If a terrorist attacks israel then Israels supporters always claim palestine attacked israeĺ.

And Israel wouldn't like it if Obama stopped USA aid to them. Nothing will happen if Obama ***** foots around trying to keep the US Jewish lobby happy. Time for him to get his gloves off if he wants real change out there. I guess he would struggle getting support from Congress - ?? - but he woud get the support of the UN and probably most pals of US in Middle East. dl

What exactly is Obamas ultimatum going to be?

Rhetoric about pre-1967 borders sounds impressive, but this has been agreed upon in principle with Israel and Fatah, it's other issues such as right of return, temple mount, issues or border security etc which are the sticking points.

If an emotional argument is good enough for you (the post my reply was to) why isn't it good enough for others?

You used 'murder' first!

Why don't you try presenting an argument instead of flim flam?
