I have heard it said that there was once a Jewish (Chief ) Rabbi Kook of Palestine in the 1930s who said that it is not what is written in the Torah ( Bible ). that is important. but what it means and signifies .and implies by the image created by one's actions as a result.

ẞSo why waste time on re refining definition after definition
unless you really have some malevolent intent ?

Rubbish. which world do you live in!

It was an official visit to Israel and was a PR success.

The visit to Amman and Rammalla. ,were added on
to make sure that the beastly Arabs kept quiet .

Sometimes British diplomatics get things right. As I was sceptical about it before hand
I must say it was extremely well planned and carried out.

OK he used a word or two to placate the PA. and on Govt advice. didn't met the Mayor if Jerusalem. ..but. It was great and much less contentious than a Trump visit would be

As a long time hasbara nik I was very impressed and so should you nudniks be

Because whatever you think of the UK. he represented that Country and the visit gave Israel more positive ratings in PR than any recent visit of a public figure.

Why don't you see the really positive aspects of his visit to Israel e.g. today at the Kottel
with the British Chief Rabbi Mirvis and the American speaking Rabbi of the Western Wall Rabbi S Rabinowitz.

His visit to the house of the President of Israel in Jerusalem was also excellent.
He came and acted very sensibly and was diplomatic

What Jewish student would support doing away with the Jewish Homeland?
Obviously not one who knows what history taught the Jews before 1948

"Home is where they have to let you in especially when no one else will let you in "

Before 1948 there were 2 categories of countries
1 those who didn't want the Jews they had
2 those who didn't want to let Jews in

Ireland's refusal to help admit fleeing Jewish refugees from Europe and the anti Semitic attitudes of various political figures and RC Church leaders ,,, qualified the Republic for both.
This generation has a lot of history to catch up with

How many BDS ers know that in November 1947
the UN passed a Two State resolution 161 proposing an Arab Palestinian State alongside a Jewish Palestinian State?

How many BDS ers know that the very next day the Arabs started a Civil War in Palestine before the British left in May 1948?
That Civil War was not for the West Bank but for the whole country.. and the whole country was," up for grabs " then.
The Arabs never ceased fighting and that Civil War goes on because of the refusal of the Arabs to allow Jews peace and quiet.

CP Scott of the Guardian said that Comment is Free but Facts are Sacred

You know not of what you write.
Have you ever been hit by a stone?
No one is imprisoned for 20 years for just throwing pebbles

BTW I was once driving a car at night on a West Bank road used by both PA registered cars and Israeli registered cars.....mine was an Israeli hired car and my car was hit by a ROCK whiçh due to superb driving I was able to keep damage to the minimum in a frightening and a life threatening experience

6 500,000 Jewish Israelis and 1 800,000 Arab Israelis

will not be"dismantled ". by BDS

Peace can only be achieved by both parties acceptance of each others right to national self determination

How much have any of you travelled in the Area?
Have you seen the Mercs BMWs Toyotas and Lexus's all over the West Bank roads ....... thousands of which roads are barred to Israeli cars ?
Have you not seen the PA registered cars driving freely all over Israel?
Have you ever been to the beach in Tel Aviv or Nathanya and seen the Arab family groups enjoying themselves at the Sea side?
Have you ever stayed in Israeli resort hotels as I have and seen Arabs as well as Jews eating and drinking and swimming side by side?
Last November for example I was once again in Eilat and once again met many Arabs staying in my favourite hotel there.
For the past 10 years I have been regularly visiting a Jewish community in the West Bank and on the opposite side of the valley an Arab village called Tumus Aya has increased tenfold in size. spreading all over the hill sides.
Building of large family homes and apartment blocks is going on all over the West Bank in the Arab occupied areas
... btw there is plenty of space for everyone.

It is ironic that between 1948 and 1967 there was a sealed Cease fire lines and no West Bank Arabs wanted to work in Israel
Now 120,000 Arabs from the "Territories" work in Israel and the West Bank..... they will be affected by BDS

Meanwhile go to any Israeli shopping mall eg Mamilla or Malka in West " Jewish" Jerusalem or Rami Levy Supermarkets and you will see loads of Arab men and women in Humans etc enjoying themselves.
What the PA PLO Hamas and Fatah do to and for their own people IS barbaric .

I too was involved with Trinity News and debated at the Phil the History and the recently established DUAIA in the late 1950s and 1960s
I was present at the meeting which established the USI

I am absolutely disgusted at the proposed motion
which means that Middle East peace will be even further away
as well as discouraging reconciliation

What are this motley mob doing about the Syrian dead?
More than 10,000. times the numbers of people have been killed in 7 years
in Syria than in 100 years in Palestine
Why don't they get back to study and leave world affairs to informed experts

Next time a TCD undergraduate student phones me for my annual alumni donation. He/She will receive a lecture about politics

Re: Why cutting US aid to the Palestinian Authority is not a bad idea?

freb — Sun, 07 Jan 2018 18:27:28 -0000

Wrong So Wrong
The Palestinian Arabs started a Civil War in British Mandate Palestine on 30 November 1947. the day after the UN resolution was approved proposing an Arab Palestinian State alongside a Jewish Palestinian State.
The Arab world would not accept any Jewish state and started a Civil War for the WHOLE of the Area known as British Mandate Palestine... the part of Palestine West of the Jordan River.
If they had defeated the Palestinian Jews in the 1947-1949 War do you think that they would have withdrawn from some areas to allow space for a Jewish Palestinian state?
No No No
The whole area was and still is disputed and" up for grabs" as far as the Arabs were and are concerned.
At present the 70 Civil War continues...... Israel seems to be winning at present but who knows what the future will bring as long as the Arabs never will accept the right of Jewish self determination in their Home country
