Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

As did the Israeli's.

On June 29th 1946, the British unexpectedly entered the premises of the Jewish Agency and took away with them a large number of documents – some of which were deemed to be sensitive. All the documents were taken to the King David Hotel where they were to be assessed by intelligence analysts. At around the same time, the British arrested 2,500 Jews in Palestine. Irgun, a Jewish secret organisation (deemed to be a terrorist group by the British) decided to target the hotel for vengeance and also as a way of destroying the documents that had been taken by the British.

The Jewish National Council immediately condemned the attack.

We're talking extremist groups here. The Israeli's have gotten theirs under control the Palestinians have not. And your post does little to explain the Tripartite Declaration of 1950. In which the British offered joint protection for the Israeli's.

The difference here is they were warned:

I'd hardly say it looked like a 9/11. Loss of life is tragic no matter what. But I would say there is nothing here to compare the two......maybe if I stand on my head, it might change my perspective.

Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund
The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world. The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

Unbelievable. I guess there is no reasoning with a person who believes its ok to blow up a building if you phone in a warning!

Indeed they did condemn the attack.

Yet the man who perpetrated the bombing which resulted in scores of deaths was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1977 and died of old age a free man in 1992 despite having murdered innocent people.

Israel is the only true democracy in the whole Middle east. If I had only one word to describe Israels treatment of the Arabs that surround I would have to say. "restrained". Here we have a small free nation surrounded by enemies a hundred times their number who have sworn over and over again that they seek the total destruction of the state of Israel. These same Arab countries have manipulated a people,"The palastinians". To camp out on the borders of Israel for 60 years and keep them in perpetual poverty,fanning the flames of hate and violence. These people have been used as pawns by their own brothers for too long. Before the beginning of the Zionist movement the land was almost a waste land, thinly populated by nomads and tenant farmers who lived a subsistance lifestyle. Most of the land was owned by pobahs who lived in places like Bhagdad and Damascus. These absentee landlords sold the land to the Jews who immigrated there. No one twisted their arms to do it. The Jews were instantly successful with their farming and development of the land and the locals hated them for it. During the original formation of the state the Jewish leadership welcomed the local Arabs to stay but these same Arab leaders who had been oppressing these people for centuries said,"No no no,you must get out. Leave the land of these infadels.
I generally am not in favour of most American foreign policy but America's policy towards Israel has been almost perfect. The USA has supported Israel because it's supporting freedom. It has cost the country a lot of money as we have heard in this thread and all that money was spent for the right reasons. America does not expect a payback for this support other than this policy towards a small free country surrounded by bloodthirsty foes shows the USA to be that "Shining light on a hill" that is the best of the USA.

Really? They sound more like a Nazi government.

Yet pro-Israel Jews such as Tamar Jacoby preach in America that Americans need to assimilate millions of non-European immigrants as quickly as possible.

This must be why American Synagogues are arming up the Jew's in America....as you speak.

Or maybe they are in cahoots with the Christians, who are also advising their members to arm themselves.

Funny how you find things out in America now days. Since the media which now includes Google and You tube, are in the Liberals back pocket.
