How Israel could retaliate to the growing
push for recognition of a Palestinian state

Original Article

France and Saudi Arabia hope to use this year’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and the increasingly horrific war in the Gaza Strip to inject new urgency into the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established. Britain, Canada and Australia formally recognized a Palestinian state on Sunday, joining nearly 150 countries that have already done so,

Israel should simply point out that the two state solution has been tried in the past. Both times it was rejected by the Palestinians. This is a distraction from keeping Israel from destroying Hamas.

They have their hearts set on setting up radical Islam right next to Israel. It was stupid when the world first accepted it and it is still stupid. Make Iran take them. They all get along swell.

One good way to make progress is to ignore the media, especially the AP.

It is the (so called) Palestinians who want a one state solution - theirs. This is a self evident fact that Israel, whose very existence is at stake cannot ignore. It does not have the same luxury that the Sec Gen of the UN has. Palestinians were offered their own state in Oslo. Arafat declined. For a very simple. He would have been assassinated as soon as he went back. The three English speaking Commonwealth countries can afford a game of let's pretend. Israel cannot.

NO. Where were these meddling countries when Israel was wiping the scourge of Hamas animals out of Gaza? Now that they have spent millions of dollars and many precious IDF lives, Gaza once again belongs to them. If France or anybody else wants to help the parasitic and stupid sheep known as palestinians, they can carve out a state for them in their own countries. Israel won the 1967 war by beating the tar out of four countries that attacked them at the same time. One state, two states, a dozen states will not solve the problem of militant muslims. Bug off!

There already was a Palestinian state - Gaza, which Israel gifted to the Palestinians. If any country now supporting a new Palestinian state were to give part of its land to the Palestinians, Israel would applaud the move. Any volunteers?

Much of what is called "territory seized in 1967" was land reclaimed from Arabs who occupied it following the 1948 war.

Annexing Gaza is part of their "Greater Israel" expansion plan, they will never give it back and they are not done taking either.

Israel can retaliate by taking every inch of their land and refusing to ever give it up again. Let the nations call for all the two-state solutions they want. Israel should ignore them. P.S. Why does everyone (who never lived in Israel) think they have the right to tell a sovereign country what to do with THEIR land?

Yes #1, they could point out that the two-state solution was tried and failed. But then Bibi was happy to help establish Hamas and fund it to counter the PLO. Worked a charm.

The 2 state solution has been on the table for 75 years, and has resolved nothing. Keeping on doing the same will only get more of the same, which is more war.

Stories like this make me remember what my father would ask me after I did something wrong and blamed it on my friends telling me to do it: “If your friends told you to jump off the Empire State Building, would you do it?” Just because many are getting onboard with something, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. In fact, as I’ve grown older, I realize that if the world embraces something, the right thing to do lies in the opposite direction.

Here are a few "obstacles" the article omits: 1. In Palestine, you'd be giving birth to a terror state. Is that the impetus you wish to affirm? 2. Why must anyone recognize "Palestine" when palestine won't even recognize Israel, which has been a state for 80 + years? 3. The 2 state solution is absolutely NOT the only tenable path. The 3 state solution is more tenable as Israel wouldn't even take over any current pali territories which would be controlled by Jordan and Egypt. Except Egypt and Jordan don't want to absorb the rabid terror tribes hunkered down there in squalor. 4. Where. Are. The. Hostages????

Palestinians already have a state- Jordan. But Jordan doesn't want them either. The 1948 UN-proposed partition aimed to create separate Arab and Jewish states, but the Arab states rejected the plan. They had their chance.

The Palestinians don't want a two-state solution; they want to replace Israel. The UN would need to use force to round up Palestinians and compel them to live alongside Israel while recognizing Israel's right to exist. This is a non-starter from the Palestinians' viewpoint. Erdowan tried to convince Brett Baer that Israel's actions in Gaza were genocide. This is what Nietzsche called "slave morality," a tactic employed by weaker parties to undermine the virtues of their more vigorous opposition. He knows that the reason Israel exists is because of a real genocide committed by Germany under Hitler. I don't remember Hitler ever giving Jews the opportunity to leave Germany, Poland, France, the Netherlands, and other European countries before loading them onto the railcars headed for the gas chambers.

Israel's airstrike in Doha was directed against Hamas leaders, not Qatar. There is no reason why the leaders of a terrorist organization, responsible for murdering thousands of Israelis and Palestinians, should feel safe anywhere. The war could have ended long ago had Hamas agreed to release the hostages, whom it should not have seized in the first place, lay down its weapons, and relinquish control over the Gaza Strip. Such a celebration could not have taken place without the approval of Qatar's rulers. Qatar's media especially Al-Jazeera, to this day, have been enthusiastically praising Hamas's attacks, as well.

Traditionally, it’s called “the people’s house” because the House of Representatives is supposed to represent and reflect the people to whom the congressional members represent. Republicans in the House threatened to withhold votes if Speaker Mike Johnson did not pass an enhanced House Member Security Funding Bill that includes a payment of $25,000/month per lawmaker to hire their own private security. This is in addition to the pre-existing security packages the House members receive. The monthly funds would be designated for use hiring private security when the representatives are not in Washington DC. It is the republican wing pushing this demand.

The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution honoring conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Friday, but a significant number of Democrats voted against it, highlighting the deepening political divide in the wake of his assassination. The resolution, which praised “the life and legacy” of Kirk, passed the Republican-controlled House with 310 votes in favor. While 95 Democrats supported the resolution, 58 voted against it and 38 voted “present,” effectively abstaining. Republicans had warned ahead of the vote that no one should oppose the measure, but many Democrats said they felt Kirk’s death had been politicized and the resolution elevated views they disagreed with.

The Trump administration escalated its fight with Harvard University on Friday, placing the Ivy League school under extra financial oversight and threatening sanctions if it does not provide additional data on its admissions practices. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the department was placing Harvard under “heightened cash monitoring,” forcing the school to use its own money to pay out financial aid for students and then seek reimbursement from the government. She also threatened “further enforcement action” if the school does not turn over records to prove it no longer is considering race in admissions. Harvard did not respond to a request for comment.

Nearly 60 House Democrats on Friday voted down a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk — including “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who accused the slain conservative activist of being a “bigot.” Four of the Dems who voted “nay” hail from New York — AOC, Yvette Clarke, Adriano Espaillat, and Nydia Velazquez — and three represent New Jersey: Reps. Robert Menendez, Bonnie Watson Coleman and LaMonica McIver. The resolution condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the assassination of the Turning Point USA co-founder and commended law enforcement for arresting and charging Kirk’s alleged killer.

President Trump will sign an executive order Friday adding a $100,000 fee to all H1-B visa applications, a White House official confirmed to The Post. The move marks the latest crackdown by the administration on migrants coming into the US for job opportunities, and is likely intended to limit visa applicants to those from higher financial brackets. The administration views the current H1-B visa program — which admits hundreds of thousands of workers into the US each year — as a way for companies to exploit lower-wage employees, ultimately impacting US salaries.

Following the meeting between International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Cairo, it was announced that an agreement had been reached between Tehran and the nuclear watchdog. At first glance, this development appeared to offer a glimmer of progress in the long, drawn-out saga over Iran’s nuclear program. Yet, once both sides returned to their respective capitals, the narrative quickly unraveled. Araghchi insisted that no agreement had been struck that would in any way violate legislation passed by the Iranian parliament,

ABC stunned the media world on Wednesday by announcing they were suspending "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely after several ABC station groups withdrew their support for the show. It was a similar shock to CBS setting a cancellation date for "Late Show with Stephen Colbert." The Left went into conniption fits, grieving both festivals of partisan propaganda. We heard a thousand cries of the "First Amendment" being despoiled and the old reliable screech about President Donald Trump's "authoritarian playbook." ABC's George Stephanopoulos mourned the assault on "independent media," and he's the last person in America who would qualify for that label.

President Trump on Thursday heavily criticized Rep.

"I think she's terrible," Trump said during a press gaggle aboard Air Force One. "I think she should be impeached. I think she's terrible." While congressional members are often removed from their positions through the process of expulsion, rather than impeachment, the President's words indicate he is incredibly disappointed with the GOP members who let her slide without so much as a reprimand. As he should be.

Death Penalty for Kirk Assassin? Bad Idea 38 replies
Posted by FlyRight 9/23/2025 4:45:22 AM Post Reply
I am not opposed to using the death penalty for specific heinous crimes. Certainly, it was warranted for Timothy McVeigh, and Charlie Kirk’s killing was indeed heinous. However, the alleged assassin is Tyler Robinson and that gives me pause, because there are thousands of Tylers out there ready to make him a martyr. This hate-filled, deluded, brainwashed community has been groomed deliberately by a Machiavellian academia since the 1960s. There was a time when public education institutions were staffed with unbiased professors and educated their students with genuine facts and encouraged independent thought. That was back then.

The order comes after Trump teased slapping a terror label on the radical “anti-fascist” group last week. “I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization,’” read the president’s order. “All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations – especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided material support,

Before last Friday’s House vote on a symbolic resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and all forms of political violence while honoring his life, the purported leaders of the Democratic Caucus informed its members that they would support the measure. Yet, in a truly vile floor speech prior to the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called the resolution “reckless” and claimed Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” In the end, less than half of the Democrats voted for the resolution. The rest stood with AOC.

Just as the United Nations was preparing to begin its annual general assembly, which will be headlined by President Donald Trump on Tuesday, the United States Secret Service discovered a "massive hidden telecom network" in New York, with startling implications. According to reports, the now-dismantled system included over 300 servers and 100,000 fake SIM cards that could have been used to overwhelm the 911 network and disable large portions of the city's cell tower network. The dismantled system consisted of over 300 SIM servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards spread within a 35-mile radius of the United Nations headquarters.
