This is a very good Thanksgiving start from Israel.. Must have Palin and right

[Peacetrain]

just spinning . With Obama and the administration working hard at the beginning of their administration (instead of waiting till the last 6 months for that photo op handshake that falls apart) to push Israel and the Palestinians to some kind of solution.

Wasn't it Palin who was pushing the end times last week with all of people of Jewish descent supposedly returning to Israel. In Ezekiel, the end times are trumpeted by the return of all people of Jewish descent to Israel. And then they either convert to Christianity or are lost in the battle of Armageddon.. so think the fundies. That is why the uber right religious side promotes the settlements, even giving money to build them

(I wonder if anyone has told her that immigration to Israel has actually dropped off pretty sharply)

1. I wonder if the Israel finally realized what the Repuglicans want

is to see the destruction of Israel and that the Repugs would gladly put in an effort to see it happen sooner rather then later?

3. You know, that stunt they pulled with using images of the Holocaust to demean HCR

had the anti defamation league madder than old wet hornets...I wonder if they are finally waking up to how they are being used

[MadMaddie]

5. I sincerely hope so!! Running around with utter fools like

Palin, Beck and others will be detrimental to Israel!

Think about if President Obama were to pull off a peace accord between Israel and the Palestenians....Right Wingers heads would explode!! Come on President Obama and Hillary you can do it!!

8. Are you serious?

Do you think Israel doesn't know what is happening?

2. So why is Mahmoud Abbas mad?

Serious question.

[Peacetrain]

6. Why is he mad.. or why are the Palestians mad at him..

4. Very good news. I am hopeful there will be an agreement during Obama's

Term.

[Peacetrain]

7. His putting effort into this day 1 instead of day 1001.. may actually make a difference

The participants will have some kind of continuity while they work the nuts and bolts of an agreement out instead of having to face a new administration in two or three months. The Bush administration absolutely dropped the ball on this

9. Ironically, the "lost tribes" who return in Ezekial...

...are today called "Arabs".
