Well, yes. I, personally think that the Unlimited Unemployment Plan is contributing greatly to the unemployment numbers. Now, be a good girl and go ask him.
@mattbrowne He seemed to avoid talking about Israel. I heard Brzezinski this moring hypothesizing either something big is about to happen, good, and best not to mention the topic; or, the US is pulling back and things might get very bad between Israel and the Palestinians, and other nearby countries will be pulled in.
@Dutchess_III That Israel is building communities on land that many feel is not rightfully theirs to settle on. Here is a link to explain it better. Many see it as an aggressive act, and that it shows Israel is willing to ignore agreements.
@Dutchess_III It would be nice. The majority of Israelis want to get along, and don’t agree with the settlements. You have probably seen our own Zen here on fluther say he would be willing to make incredible compromises for peace. Most Israelis are like him.
@Dutchess_III Both sides think they are right I guess? And, a lack of trust. There was a good proposal during Clinton, but the Palestinians in the end did not agree to it.
Part of it is religious fanaticism. Ownership of land 3000 years ago is being turned into claims made today. It just doesn’t work this way. Two wrongs don’t make a right. What would happen if the descendants of the people who had settled the land before Moses went into Israel today telling people to leave Tel Aviv so they can build their new settlements?
