Larry Derfner as an Islamo fascist supporter, i’m surprised you dont even know what your Pali terrorists think.

BPoA: Before we go away, we will take all the Palestinians, AND the pagan temples currently on Mount Moriah, to hell with us.

This is exactly my perception. A considerable class of Israelis do not see any chance of long-term existence, “they hate us anyway”, “transfer would be best but it is not possible” etc. so Plan B is to abandon Israel when necessary, but with a sufficient number of heroic stories that the Exiles will survive another 2000 years of Diaspora in good cheer. Building another Temple would constitute a strong final note. And who knows? Perhaps the Messiah will come.

Was that Romney just supporting one state solution? Or will he support a situation that brings apartheid?

In 2008, before the election, Obama was secretly recorded making a speech in front of a closed group of supporters and here he made his comments which IIRC said that frustrated people hold on to religion and guns for relief, or something to that effect. Most Americans claim to be religious to a lesser or greater degree, so Obama was possibly antagonizing a clear majority of the American population. He won anyway.

Also, I don’t remember the exact wording of the survey question, but it was something like, “Do you see” a two-state agreement as blah blah blah. In other words, it was a lot more concrete than “dreaming” or “wishing.” It was about what the further course of action would be after statehood.

The Palestinian dream of sovereignty from the river to the sea is not some distant, eschatological dream. I only wish! If it were, they’d have their state today, and that would be a very good thing.

If one goal (a Palestinian state next to Israel) is currently seen by many as a necessary, intermediate step towards another goal (no more Israel), and if that fact has to be de-emphasized in public by certain actors for obvious reasons, then how can you say they’re actively pursuing the first goal but not the second?

If you’re flying from Tel Aviv to New York and you change flights in Milan, then yes, on the first leg of your journey you’re traveling to Milan, or “committed” to reaching Milan. But you’re just as much traveling to and committed to reaching New York.

Finally, even if you don’t accept this line of argument, the fact remains that well-organized, well-armed groups *are* actively pursuing Israel’s destruction – overtly – and that there’s no willingness among Palestinians to do what it takes to stop them. That fact is more important than the survey numbers. It would still be salient even if the numbers were reversed.

Well, and likely a few other parts of the Middle East strangely considered permanent fixtures when in practicality they *exactly*(and I mean identically) mirror Israel’s permanence.

“Committed to Israel’s destruction” means that’s the goal they are pursuing – not dreaming of or wishing for, but pursuing. There’s no poll on earth that says 67% of Palestinians are pursuing Israel’s destruction, and reality on the ground indicates that very, very few of them are.

>> Israel has had to deal with and will continue to deal with if it wants to become a permanent fixture in the Middle East.

Before we go away, we will take all the Palestinians, AND the pagan temples currently on Mount Moriah, to hell with us.
