Dear Israel,

Palestinian Christians call for peaceful solution to conflict

This is not about punishing Israel; it’s about advancing U.S. national security. Recognizing Palestine would, by helping the two-state cause, address a key source of resentment toward the United States, making it easier for American policymakers to pursue other priorities in the Middle East, such as preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon, defeating the Islamic State and strengthening regional security partnerships. It would ease dealings with governments in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which often agree with Israel’s regional strategy but revile its treatment of Palestinians. It would signal to the Israelis — and their neighbors — that the United States will act in its own interests, even when those interests conflict with a close ally’s views. And it would strengthen the Jewish homeland’s security (a long-standing U.S. national interest), as many in Israel’s security establishment understand.

I am not talking about Christian Palestinians. That should be obvious.

Palestinians don't want a democracy, they want Sharia.

write what you mean and own it

Tell that to the people who wrote "state" instead of "federal" in the health care law.

I guess that eliminates Israel because they keep changing their boundaries by stealing Pal. territory.

Palestine was never a country. You can't steal what someone doesn't have

Israel steals land from Pal. individuals for European settlers.

Another paid provocator. How much do they pay political liers now days?

Well, in the Unitarian Jihad, I am known as Brother Flamethrower of Benevolence. We've been a little inactive, of late.

I've never heard of a Palistinian Jihad.
