I noticed you're "calling for sovereignty of the West Bank and Gaza to be allocated between Israel and Jordan as the two successor States to the Mandate for Palestine."
So you're saying that Palestine should not exist at all? You also mention in other comments that 4/5th's of Jordon was supposed to be the home of the Jewish people. I note that you have on several occasions raised the issue of keeping the agreements from the League of Nations.. Are you suggesting Israel take that land at some point as well? It falls into a scenario where Israel might start a big war (by creating an external enemy ISIS and acting out of so-called defense) to take over the ME and become the next ruling state in the world. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182751#.VIUSC8mvPmV This news story tells a story that ISIS do intend to attack you at some point, but are going to destabilise the region first. I see a possible scenario developing here based on videos I've watched. http://youtu.be/DeQ_wfUBjws http://moroccantimes.com/2014/07/nsa-documents-reveal-isis-leaderabu-bakr-al-baghdadi-trained-israeli-mossad/ Biblical references say that the land of Israel includes that land so what are you actually suggesting? Also you falsely accuse and mistake criticism for Jew-hatred and fail to enter into a reasonable discussion about Israels recent history. Don't you understand that behavior will only make people dislike or mistrust Israel more? Instead of lobbying for the needs of your nation why don't you advocate something worthwhile? Like the sex slave trade of women from other countries and the forced labour that goes on in Israel, some of whom may be Africans? White people are still paying the price of guilt and resentment by African Americans, yet it's possible that Israel still keeps them as slaves. At what point is anything I've said untrue? Your failure to set me straight only makes me feel as though there is a real basis to all the criticisms of Israel I've listed. And also, you say you won't respond, but you still do everytime. Does this have something to do Kol Nidre, and renouncing any pledges, oaths and vows you make? Now I'm done. Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 8 December 2014 1:14:27 PM

Glad you are at last prepared to discuss what I write about and not use your posts to spread your Jew-hating invective - which I do not and will not dignify with a response. "Palestine" was a geographic entity established by the San Remo Conference and the Treaty of Sevres in 1920 and the Mandate for Palestine in 1922 with internationally recognized boundaries for the first time ever in recorded history. It ceased to exist in two stages: 1. In 1946 - when Transjordan - 76.9% of the Mandate for Palestine -gained its independence from Great Britain 2. In 1948 - when Britain handed back its administration of the remaining 23.1% to the League of Nations, Israel declared its independence and six Arab armies immediately invaded the newly declared Jewish State. Jordan occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip - from 1948-1967. At the moment there are two states in former Mandatory Palestine - Israel and Jordan. Israel is sovereign in 17% and Jordan in 77%. The remaining 6% comprises the West Bank and Gaza. Jordan was originally designated as part of the territory within which the Jewish National Home could be reconstituted - but that right was taken away in 1922. Mandatory Palestine (including Transjordan) comprised 0.01% of the Ottoman territories held by the Ottoman Empire for 400 years prior to being conquered in World War 1. The remaining 99.99% of the conquered territories was set aside for Arab self-determination. Attempts to create a second Arab state - in addition to Jordan - in former mandatory Palestine failed in 1937, 1947, 1993-2013 and could have occurred with the stroke of an Arab League pen between 1948-1967. The Oslo and Bush Roadmap "two-state solution" is in my opinion dead and buried. Allocation of sovereignty in the West Bank between Israel and Jordan now remains the only possible peaceful solution. I do write on other issues - e.g Islamic State, the horrific situation in Syria over the past three years. You will find those articles on OLO.

Thanks for your civil response and also for presenting some interesting facts and for your insight and opinion.
Please understand that I don't hate Jews. I believe all peoples have the right to exist in peace and without persecution, the Jewish people included. And I'm not so much interested in things that happened in the past as much as I wonder where the world is headed now. Just because I bring up aspects of the past doesn't purposely mean I am trying to vilify or single out anyone. All peoples of the world have aspects of history they aren't proud of. I just wish everybody could find their place in the world (or put their cards on the table for their honest future aspirations) and get along, and a world free of coercion, manipulation, greed and deceit. - But that doesn't mean I want communism either. My general interest is geopolitical issues in relation to a possible future global government, not of hating any single people. If this happens I just hope that all peoples are represented fairly and that its a future we can all embrace, and not a future where a small minority control it and the rest are treated like they aren't as important, and I like to take in all sides of the story fairly. I hope for a future where everyone can get along and rules and rights are the same for everyone, it just seems these days we're still in a world where some people are treated better than others, where some countries are treated better than others, and where at times corporations and ideals or greed, money and wars are more important than people themselves. I want technology to empower us, not imprison us. And I'm not racist but I'm not that keen on multiculturalism either. It causes conflict between people. Good day to you.

I repeat what I said to your previous five posts which you have now unequivocally confirmed by your latest post:
"You have made your Jew-hatred abundantly clear - and like so many others - choose to do so anonymously.
I do not intend to respond to your vile invective.
Your home is with Hamas, the PLO, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and Islamic State. Go visit their associated web sites and share in their Jew-hatred where you will be welcomed with open arms.
You are not welcome here."
