The odd thing about this whole controversy is that in the original UN partition plan of 1948, WEST Jerusalem was supposed to be Jewish, albeit under the authority of the United Nations. In Pre-1967, West Jerusalem was Jewish, while the Old City and East Jerusalem were occupied by Jordan, a barbed wire, armed-for-war kind of occupation. So even both sides agreed to the pre-67 borders, and the return of all refugees (including the wannabes), the Knesset would still be in West Jerusalem, which would still be Jewish, and therefore Jerusalem would be still be the Israeli capital. So whose capital it is, what's to negotiate?

as a Welsh-American, and someone familiar with Anglo-Israelism, I regard you as an idiot. I heard tons of crap like your spewing, during my 7 years in Jerusalem. So let me ask you this, you who consider yourself a servant of the living God, just as I asked all the other false prophets who wandered the streets of "spiritual Sodom and Egypt," If your prediction for September 16, 2012 does NOT come true, WILL YOU REPENT? (and that's not the unforgivable sin that Yeshua spoke of, nor that Peter warned Simon the Sorcerer of (remember how that guy wanted to buy the Holy Spirit? I'd say Kenneth "the Pagan" Hagin is in more danger of the unforgiveable sin on that account, than Obama.)

what an arrogant jerk. Anyone here remember "Rapmaster Reagan?" Or Dana Carvey's hilarious George Bush Sr. impression? Those guys got invited to the White House for making fun of those presidents, as was their job as comedians. Lech Walesa, a hero in his fight against communism, gets snubbed by the White House for his criticisms. More and more, Obama proves himself to be neither African black or Democratic blue, but Communist RED. (If we're going to criticize Poland, I was thinking earlier today about how they tried to defend themselves against the Nazi Blitzkrieg: full frontal assault with mounted cavalry, armed with rifles.)

What's interesting to me is that the liberal guy makes a classic Proglodyte fallacy: that being absolutely sure that you're right must necessarily lead you to treat those who disagree poorly. While often those who with strong conviction do treat those who disagree poorly, this is not of necessity. Having an opinion, or a belief, is a matter of INTELLECTUAL virtue (or the lack of it). How you treat those who disagree with you is a matter of MORAL virtue. Breitbart is sorely missed.

whoops! "altars," that is. lol

Isn't there an Aesop's Fable about this? Something about a fox and some grapes? Have the Proglodytes been staring so long at the shadows at the back of the cave they've even de-volved into pre-Aesop stupidity? For people who worship their brains, they don't seem to be using them all that much. Maybe they should take them down from the alters.

Once more, Proglodyte reasoning misses the mark. As with Obamacare, this concept doesn't address the essential issue: why does a university education cost so much? Maybe because idiots like Elizabeth Warren, get paid $400,000 a year. Something like that. Instead, the Proglodytes address the incidental part of the problem, which is who pays for it. What current and prospective students may not realize is that SOMEBODY has to pay for it, and the government will have to get that money from taxes, which means taxing them, if they're going to get high-paying jobs with those fancy degrees of theirs.

To Mattie, et al: Jews haven't paid in blood for their cause? Ever heard of a little country called Israel? An interesting article, as I disagree with both Kristol and Buchanan's attitudes. Yet I understand where Kristol is coming from. NOT defending Israel, and allowing "Arabists" to thrive helps not only our enemies, but also condemns his people to slaughter or a third (or fourth) diaspora. Buchanan doesn't want to see America go the way of Britain, getting bogged down in the Middle East, as they did between the World Wars, partly because of the Zionists. However, I still say that "America First" is a nationalist position, as much as Zionism is, and nationalism is a sin.

In the real world, outside of academia, that's what we call an "owie."
