And not even ONCE in the Koran. Al Quds could mean Bakka or even Antioch, all they could tack on is some nonsense about their war leader heading off to heaven on a winged horse in one of his dreams.<br />Good points re the "divided city" newness as well as this weird new religion called "diplomacy". As long as the likes of Arafat or Corbyn get money or mileage out of the nasty attrition of Islam at any and all of its borders worldwide-then they`ll carry on. There are 1,3 billion Catholics in the world-where the hell are they, as well as the other so called "Christians"...don`t they know Ruth 1.16-7?

And, “When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons”. <br />Now we have Iranians on both sides of the forgiveness ledger.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-19452408651987938802018-05-13T16:57:24.350-04:002018-05-13T16:57:24.350-04:00EU Diplomacy seems to be extremely Machiavellian.EU Diplomacy seems to be extremely Machiavellian.Infidelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-22948673681791584152018-05-13T15:11:50.357-04:002018-05-13T15:11:50.357-04:00Very informative and greatly put.

And "liberation" means expulsion of all Arabs (including Christian Arabs) from the unified Israel. If I read you wrong, please correct me.<br /><br />To be perfectly clear, I think annexation of Gaza and the West Bank and the expulsion of the Arabs is desirable and necessary for the long term survival of Israel. It ought to be done now while there is a strongly pro-Israeli President in Washington.sykes.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10954672321945289871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-62752132936789653042018-05-13T09:22:31.751-04:002018-05-13T09:22:31.751-04:00Wow!
