Of COURSE Israel is opposed, because Israel does not want peace..... Israel wants the land, it wants to expel the Palestinians, and it likes playing the poor, defenseless victim (the only victim with atom bombs in the region).... today, it is complaining about Palestinians trying to smuggle in anti tank missiles - right, its tanks should be able to come and go at will - if Israel didn't keep invading the Palestinian territories with tanks, the Palestinians wouldn't need anti tank missiles! DUH! And as long as the US keeps covering its ass, it can do whatever it wants.
The world should SUPPORT a Mid East Conference that deals with a realistic plan for Palestine, and the weak, intimidated Democrats should show a little leadership and support it too!!!! [Hat tip: Editerette13]

The “weak, intimidated Democrats”, as you call them, are as pro-Israel as their Republican counterparts. Don’t count on them to be a voice for peace. They are certainly not helping the Palestinians with their legislation.

When has israel EVER been on the side that wants peace? And if they do say they agree with peace, they’ll lose their own weapons, and leave room for Hezbollah to fire their sh*t at them. So of course they dont want the resolution to take effect. And so in that case, they wont be on the side of the Mid East. I think the only way to have Isreal agree is to have Hezbollah move out of Lebanon, or at least make their own coiuntry inside Lebanon.
Hi to you
I am 80 years Jew. My family is 100 years in this land .i like the Arabs . I like the Arabic language, it’s the same origin as Hebrew .I have Arab friends & many ex Arab pupils. {I am a retired high school teacher] Remember in certain nostalgia the fragile co existence between Jews & Arabs in the British Mandate. It reminded me my childhood.
I Wanted always to live in peace with the Arabs, to compromise. I agreed to the suggestion of the Peel Comity in 38 for partition that gave us only 20 % of the land. I agreed later in 46 the partition of u. n. That gave us about 50 % of the land. I agreed later to Oslo Agreement.
I know every detail of the Palestinians tragedy. I can identify with you. But i know personally the Jewish side, so I can have partial moral judgment.
What do you want?
Except of sheer hatred, what do you want?
Do you want to reveres history? To send us all to exile.?
Do you believe that we can evacuate 400.000 settlers east of the green line ?
What do you think about the agreement of Abu Mazen & dr. Beilin ?
Have you never thought why Israel changed from very poor country of half million to rich high Tec country of 6 millions ? Just the aid of the u. s. ? really ?
The Palestinians have the rite to be happy. I would like to help them .are you sure you can tell me how ?
Yes I can tell you. Get out of my occupied land. I don’t care if you have 400k east green line, not even if the are 400 million. I don’t care if you have to evacuate where you live now if it is one of my grandfathers. I don’t care if you go where you came from because you have to remember that your occupation has caused millions of refugees outside their home country (similar compliant to what Jews were before 1948, but even in worse conditions). I don’t care if you will be left with 80 percent or 50 percent or 20 percent of the land when you have to leave what you occupied after 1948. I don’t care what does the UN resolutions says if you don’t submit to them. I don’t care what the peace treaties say if you don’t put them in action. I don’t care if you have to destroy your factories which are built on my occupied land. I don’t care if your country becomes poor if you retreat from my land and return what you stole.
You want history. Here is history:
The land of Palestine was inhabited by Palestinian Arabs. In 1850 these consisted of approximately 400,000 Muslims, 75,000 Christians, and 25,000 Jews. For centuries these groups had lived in harmony: 80 percent Muslim, 15 percent Christian, 5 percent Jewish. Then occupation came and expelled Palestinians and now you are coming and saying we can’t change what is on ground. Just like today news about the new settlements your government is talking about; they say, we are not building new settlements, we are just thickening them. Funny, are you building skyscrapers and going vertically or stealing more and more land every day to call it later ‘facts on ground’ that can’t be changed?
Israel wants peace, so is every human being. But peace will not be guaranteed if unjust is the name of the game. Once justice is in place, only then peace can be achieved!
Few years back, the Arab League offered a just and comprehensive peace plan to solve all the issue and have peace between Israel and all Arab countries, Israel refused it. Today, Arab League is repeating history again and offering it again, but this time they say they are going to UN because they lost trust in USA to do the job. Israel again opposed it. So, who is against peace? Me?
Now I ask you the same question:
I would like to help everyone, you and me, are you sure you can tell me how?

One Palestine you got that right, even though I have voted Democrat numerous times. But my vote was based on my own ” lesser evil” calculus, which, alas, is the best one can hope for in the short term in the United States. There are ,however, more Democrats than Republican who are critical of Israel. Yet they are fearful of the “lobby,” so you do not hear from them very much.
