Going back in time to strangle Gavrillo Princip in his crib. Which is more workable than yours.
A laughable redirection of the argument.

Greenland is a nice place to celebrate Passover and Chanukah, kibbutz ready and close to North American and European markets.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

I think we should prevent Beauregard from spoiling that picnic in Virginia.  So many sandwiches wasted!

So, in the absence of the stating of their solution/s for the whole Israel, Palestine, Hamas war etc, it must be assumed that those forumites here don't have one.

It is gratifying that a place kicker for the World Champion Kansas City Chiefs delivered a commencement address praising his Catholic values and his wife for assuming the difficult role of homemaker.
His advice to graduates to fall in love, get married, and raise a family was much needed for a a culture seemingly lost in perspective.

Even more encouraging his KC Jersey is a hot seller rivaling those of Patrick Mahommes and  his speech was praised by Whoopee Goldberg.

The solution for Israel is to be left alone to live in peace and to prosper; regardless of what the Palestinians think or do. And Israel can have walls, and the Iron Dome missile defense system, etc.

And for the children of the region, there is the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, the forest of Canada would be a nice spot for the refugee children, and there are various peaceful forestry jobs there.

Also, the Muslims can be essential workers in Abu Dhabi, and in Dubai.

The Israelis need to just go about their lives, and get married, and have families, and raise children, etc, and do business, etc, and it does not matter what the Palestinians think.

Salute,

The Palestinians get Gaza and West Bank with a leadership alternative to Hamas. Israeli settlers get the fuck out of the West Bank. An Israeli occupation would only create a never ending guerrilla war and insurgency.
The system of open air incarceration has to end for both people to live side by side or it will be continued chaos and terrorism on both sides. The Israelis are already committing acts of terrorism in the West Bank as the drive residents out of their villages and bulldoze their homes.

Netanyahu is a criminal who has prosecuted this war in the worst way in an effort to keep his corrupt ass out of prison.


Polls show that most Israelis do not want to resettle the Gaza Strip. But Netanyahu and his coalition are uniquely beholden to the radical minority that does. Back in January, 15 of the coalitions 64 members of Parliament attended a Jerusalem conference in support of Gaza resettlement. The parties that make up Netanyahus government received just 48.4 percent of the vote in Israels most recent election in November 2022. Without the far right, not only would the Israeli leaders coalition collapse, but he would lack sufficient allies to form one in the future after another election. Alienating the extremists wouldnt just finish Netanyahus government, it could end his political career.

Bambu, watch the videos on You Tube about how the homeless people are living in Hong Kong, it is horrible, and they are trapped, there is no ladder there for them to climb, they are stuck being poor and homeless with no future. So, here is the answer, they can go to El Salvador, and El Salvador said they will give everyone free citizenship, so the homeless people from Hong Kong can become citizens in El Salvador. The people from Hong Kong can join the Catholic Church, everyone in El Salvador is Catholic, and they can teach them how to speak Spanish, etc. Here in Anaheim some of the Mexican churches are teaching the North Koreans how to speak Spanish to adapt here, they teach them Spanish first, and then English. Anyhow, El Salvador can save the homeless people from Hong Kong and they can get free citizenship.

The people from Taiwan, and from China, can also get free citizenship in El Salvador, etc.

And tell Australia to expand trade with El Salvador.

Salute,

Tony V.

Here is to the wit and wisdom of trifling adult children with TBI. They sound just like dusty old farts with no remaining memories of the days they harken back to.

If you listen more to Whoopee and live by what she says, it will improve your life immeasurably. You would benefit almost as much as you would by never again watching the Fox fascist entertainment network and never ever picking up the NY Post even in digital form.

November 29, 1947: The UN General Assembly passes UN Resolution 181, which calls for the partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

November 30, 1947: Palestinian Arabs ambush a bus carrying Jewish passengers near Lod (Lydda), an attack often cited as the start of the civil war in Palestine.

December 2, 1947: The Arab Higher Committee, the leading organizer of the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement in Jerusalem, announces a three-day strike against the partition plan. Riots break out in the city, and violence between Arabs and Jews escalates.

Oh well, they didn't, so the wars began.

No. There you go, taking bigoted stupidity to a level that is truly repulsive.

You curdle milk and cause birds to fall stone dead from the air.
