So I take it your position is either that settlements are perfectly legal, or "well, fuck 'em all, they all deserve it" (or a bit of both)?

Hi everyone,
After several months of relative quiet, the missiles have returned to the southern part of Israel and my hometown of Ashdod in particular. Two days ago I was woken at 5:30am by the sounds of the siren. Since our bedrooms are upstairs and we had 45 seconds to get to a safe area in our house (which is downstairs), I flew out of bed and tripped on the stairs - resulting in a black eye and some pain when I fell on my shoulder. The missiles started falling after Israel retaliated against the terrorists who carried out a combined attack two days ago which killed 8 Israelis along the wide-open border between Israel and Egypt. Since then, we (my sister, mother and I) have been sleeping downstairs on our couches and steeling ourselves in anticipation of the next sirens and missiles -which have already fallen this morning and injured 3 people (see below article). So thank goodness me and my family and loved ones are safe and I have every confidence that the army will take care of this situation. Just thought I'd let you all know. Rockets hit Ashdod in southern Israel, three Palestinian workers wounded - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News |

The 'process' needs a firm kick up the arse, but it doesn't need anything that forces anyone to make fast/rash decisions, or gives anyone an excuse to do so. The vote is okay, but how the post-vote is handled is pretty touchy.
But yeah, whole thing needs a shot in the arm. It's pretty standard for it to be a 2nd term thing for US Presidents, so hoping that will be the case with Obama, and he finds a pair of big brassy ones for it. |

The needs to happen.
There will be a lot of complaining and blaming. The blame rests 100 per cent with Israel. But, of course scapegoating Obama, will be the way to go. |

If he's copping it for absolutely nothing, he might as well do something. It's one of those things - the 'Restoring Courage'/'Obama threw Israel under the bus' crowd are never going to vote for him anyway, so why care?
- Threaten to cut funding - and hey, he won't be the first President to do that, just the first Democrat President to do it. - Make it illegal for US money to fund settlements, from small time individual donations up. It can be classified as a War Crime after all, so the Supreme Court should find that a pretty easy thing to do. Start there. |

However, if Israel weren't illegally settling in their territories, the Palestinian people wouldn't resort to radicalism. |

Israel does not need a U S Resolution to do this, they should just go ahead and do it. They control those areas now.
They got that territory in a war they did not start. They won the war! Should the U S give Texas and California back to Mexico? |
