This is like the umpteenth time I've seen some University President or administration speak out against Palestinian rights. I thought universities were supposed to be bastions of independent thought and higher learning. Has it always been like this?
by ..
Maybe University Presidents are noticing that "peace" activists seem to be spending 99% of their time singling out the 6 million jews of israel, believing every anti-israel accusation that ever gets mentioned, and 1% of their time on everything else, defending islamic terrorism, and don't want any part of it.
by Oh gee
Oh gee. Another anti-israel thread.

Gee, you guys don't obsess on Israel or anything, oh no.

We jews are just stupid and paranoid.

I like how you give 700 million muslims a free pass to have muslim states, but attack the 6 million jews of israel day after day after day for having one small jewish state. THat's awesome. I'm damn stupid for thinking something's screwed up about that.

by poor little Israel
That "one small jewish state" is built on stolen land by invader crusader-colonialists who behave like small time Nazis.
by Population of Israel
--"singling out the 6 million jews of israel"

Israel's total population is 6 million. Of that, 20% are native Christian and Muslim Palestinians who are treated as inferiors under the law (and within Israeli society). That's 1.2 million Arab citizens within Israel who should be treated as equals but are not.

As we have seen in the Conference in Egypt and in Jordan many Arab Nation will recognize Israels Right to exist if Israel will allow the Palestinian People to have their Small Country free from Israeli Occupation and Oppression..
To end the resistance to the Occupation you have to end the Occupation that allows for the resistance….

So if Israel wants to be respected and accepted by the Arab Population, they have to stop confiscating Palestinian land and demolishing Palestinian homes which in turn cause the need for the Palestinians to fight for their Freedom, just like any other freedom loving People (U.S.).

If Israel was really looking for Peace the population of the settlement in the West Bank would not have increased from around 100,000 in the early 1990s to over 300,000 today and the number of settlement would not have increased by around 40..

The Population of these settlements should have decreased there by allowing for a Palestinian State with reasonable borders (Road Map)....


The West Bank and Gaza are only 22% of what is TODAY, Israel, West Bank and Gaza.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE MAP IN THE FOLLOWING WEB PAGE:
The Orange areas are Israeli settlements in the already small 22% that is West Bank and Gaza. What kind of carved up mess will the Palestinian State be unless all the settlements are removed (which will probably never happen) or just make the settlements part of the New Palestinian State (which can happen right now)??

by CRITICIZE ARAB COUNTRIES? NO WAY!
I like how iraq, iran, yemen, saudia arabia, iran, syria, lebanon, etc. receive no negative articles on the Commentary section, while there are always at least 5-15 anti-israel articles. That seems proportionate!

by apples and oranges
>no negative articles on the Commentary section, while there are always at least 5-15 anti-israel articles. That seems proportionate!

Virtually no anti-Israel articles in the huge corporate media which encircles the globe, is seen by billions of people every single day of the year, and permeates culture with its propaganda, while there are always at least a few anti-Israel on tiny little SF-IMC, which is seen by only fifty to hundred thousand people a day.

Seems disproportionate! to me.

Correction:


As I think I have seen in the Conference in Egypt and in Jordan many Arab Nations will recognize Israels Right to exist if Israel allows the Palestinian People to have their Small Country free from Israeli Occupation and Oppression..
To end the Resistance to the Occupation it's not even enough to end the Occupation that ostensibly allows for the Resistance….

So if Palestinians want to be respected and accepted by the Jewish Population, they have to stop commiting Terrorism (what they like calling a fight for their Freedom, which actually is unlike other freedom loving People (U.S.)) which includes Suicide Bombing which in turn causes the need for the Israeli military to confiscate Palestinian Land and demolish Palestinian Homes.

If I am really looking for Peace why do I keep complaining that the Population of the Settlements in the West Bank and Gaza has increased from around 100,000 in the early 1990s to over 300,000 today and the number of settlement has increased by around 40, over and over and over???

Should the Population of these Settlements have decreased there by allowing for a Palestinian State with Reasonable Borders (Road Map)....??? I don't know...The Wonderful Road Map stipulates only freezing all construction and population of the Settlements, not removing Jewish People from their Homes...I do not advocate Ethnic Cleansing...I am embarrassed by what my Imposter wrote.
