Any Israel/Palestine two state solution with Hamas anywhere near it would be doomed to failure.

You do not think the Palestinians are tired of Hamas bringing down destruction, starvation and death on them?

Netanyahu and Hamas are in a deadly symbiotic relationship. As long as 5he war continues both have relevance.

Doomed to failure is the sacred motto of the entire Bambu model lifestyle and mindset.

Bambu has been doomed to failure for longer than Ford has been making automobiles.

LOL
More than a few Ford automobiles have been/are still doomed to failure.
One only has to read motoring articles/reviews etc to see it.
Not if bambu had been in charge.

If you had been in charge there would have been no company at all.

You have made your limitations clear. We are all very well versed in your shortcomings.

Nah.

Dolly Parton is donating libraries for children all over, she is awesome. And I wish her continued success with Dollywood, etc.

Famous Amos sold cookies and used some of the money raised in order to fund a literacy program and to teach people how to read. The cookies were fantastic and the money went to teach people how to read.

I remember a movie that Johnny Cash made about a man who did not know how to read and who had to humble himself and learn how to read. It is a great movie, Johnny Cash was a good actor.

Right now twenty five percent of the people in Kentucky do not know how to read, so we need to fix that, and we need to educate the people of Kentucky, and the children of coal miners need to grow up to become doctors, and teachers, and scientists, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

A Bordello in Nevada donated a Lamborghini to the local Highway Patrol as a Publicity Stunt, there was a famous photo of the prostitutes posing with the Lamborghini that they had donated.

I think the only thing that the Calico Club Bordello in Battle Mountain, Nevada, was ever famous for was for having the sports stars from Los Angeles as clients.

At the Colt Casino, the only thing we were famous for was the Daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York was one of our waitresses, and we also had a young Mexican woman who made more in a prime time dinner shift of only 4 hours than the poor dishwasher made in 2 weeks, it pays to be young and beautiful when it comes to earning good tips. We had the most beautiful waitresses at the Colt. And our Head Chef was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, our food was amazing, we had Beverly Hills quality food in Battle Mountain, Nevada. ( Our Head Chef made a Stuffed Parmesan Chicken Breast dinner that was amazing... It was kind of like this recipe... https://tasty.co/recipe/stuffed-chicken-parmesan )

Dolly Parton did a movie with Burt Reynolds, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" which can make you wonder how the Calico Club is like in Battle Mountain, Nevada. 

Salute,

Tony V.

Netanyahu and Hamas are in a deadly symbiotic relationship. As long as 5he war continues both have relevance.

You're living in a fool's paradise if you think that Hamas won't do exactly to a new Palestinian state what it did to Gaza...take it over and run/own it.
Hezbollah is doing exactly the same to Lebanon.
Won't be long before there's all out war in Lebanon, Israel has told Lebanon it will be holding it responsible for the hundreds of rockets being fired deeper and deeper into Israel by Hezbollah.
An invasion by Israel all the way to Beirut is likely.
Biden is going to have to decide soon if he stands with Israel or against it.
He'll need to get it right, or stand condemned in the eyes of the free/Western world.

40% of the people in Lebanon are Christians...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Lebanon

We need to broadcast television preachers on the televisions in the Middle East, and on the radios, etc, such as Dr Charles Stanley and Robert Schuller.

And Queen Farah Pahlavi and Mahlagha Jaberi can help with Iran.

Pope Francis and Italy can also be involved in the Middle East.

And Mossad, and the CIA, etc, need to be active in the world, etc.

Mexico has a Jewish President now, so Mexico can help in the Middle East, and Mexico can export food to the Middle East, etc.

And the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, is a nice safe place for the refugee children.

Salute,

Tony V.

Poverty is the father of revolution and war and crime, we need to teach the poor people how to be peaceful farmers, who can be happy and content with simple lives, and they can read books for enjoyment, etc. And people need to be empathetic, and sympathetic, and compassionate when it comes to other people.

Life is becoming simple and easy in Europe with all of the Tourism, you can make a good living just by selling hamburgers to tourists. Italy has so many tourists now that they are considering ways to reduce the tourism because of over-crowding. The days of brutal poverty are over in Europe, and Europe is wealthy and comfortable now.

The USA needs to focus on educating our people, and on building schools and libraries instead of prisons. And we need to train Teachers instead of prison guards.

Meanwhile, Anaheim is expensive, the average home costs $1 Million in Anaheim, but we receive 50,000 tourists per day and you can make money if you can sell stuff to the tourists. And Disneyland is awesome, and we have the Angels Baseball Team, and we have the Ducks Hockey Team, etc.

On the issue of Gang Violence in the USA, then we can learn from Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries, Father Boyle can teach the people in El Salvador, etc, as well.

We also need to keep the Peace Corps busy globally, and we need to make sure people have food to eat, etc. And we have Kiwanis International, etc. And the Catholic Church, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
