I RTFA and the headline is a direct quote from TFA. I'm confused, what is it you're waiting for?

FTA: Well, if it's up to our courageous reps in Congress, you know what the answer will be.

That part made me laugh.

The people who will see "humiliating retreat" and "Obama administration" and instantly go into salivating attack mode because they think it's about the United States surrendering to a scary brown people country.

The mental image of HRC in a flight suit with a big ol' crotch bulge is cracking me up.

TFA: eat away at the land on which they hope to establish a state of their own

I wonder why the Palestinians didn't hope to establish a state on the West Bank when it was part of Jordan, or why the Jordanians didn't allow them equality, democracy, and individual rights.

What's your point? That the Palestinians should just resign themselves to eternal second class citizenship under Israeli rule? Or that they should just happily give all of the West Bank to Israel and disappear entirely?

All sides in this conflict have made massive errors throughout the last 60 years. Using those errors to deny any side's right to a just peace is just silly.

If you want to get Hillary's ass AND ego onto that aircraft carrier, you're going to need a C-130 and a lot of hope and change.

The Jordanians have given the Palestinians living in Jordan full Jordanian citizenship. I'd like to see Israel do that.

Hey, no problem- C-130s have landed and taken off from carriers with no problem. They just don't make a habit of it. No hope or change needed.

I think this was a big misunderstanding.

She was ordering room service, and told them she didn't like their juice. She preferred her juice freshly squeezed.

Without reading the article or much more of the thread before I read the article, I'm going to guess it's about goals in Africa rather than Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Middle East.

...

And I was wrong. Israel vs Hamas Palestine vs Fatah Palestine. Three states will enter, only one will emerge victorious.

The House Resolution is ridiculous. Look at the first two things it criticizes.

From the House Resolution:
Whereas the resolution pre-judged the outcome of its investigation, by
one-sidedly mandating the `fact-finding mission' to `investigate all
violations of international human rights law and International
Humanitarian Law by . . . Israel, against the Palestinian people . . .
particularly in the occupied Gaza Strip, due to the current
aggression';


Actual mandate from the Report:
"to investigate all violations of
international human rights law and international humanitarian law that might have been
committed at any time in the context of the military operations that were conducted in Gaza
during the period from 27 December 2008 and 18 January 2009, whether before, during or
after."


So they're criticizing the report for having a mandate it doesn't have.

Another Gem:
Whereas the mandate of the `fact-finding mission' makes no mention of the relentless rocket and mortar attacks, which numbered in the thousands and spanned a period of eight years, by Hamas and other violent militant groups in Gaza against civilian targets in Israel, that necessitated Israel's defensive measures;

Which is an interesting claim considering that there is a 25 page long chapter titled:
XXIV. THE IMPACT ON CIVILIANS OF ROCKET AND MORTAR ATTACKS BY
PALESTINIAN ARMED GROUPS ON SOUTHERN ISRAEL


I know this is difficult information to ascertain since it's in the farking table of contents, but seriously what bullshiat.
