But I have no idea of how to move a social democracy made up of wrangling know-it-alls who can never come to agreement.

Other than civil disobedience and rebellion the only paths I see are political activism, education of the electorate, legal. The left has successfully used these paths to inflate their influence beyond their numbers, the right thinks it is unimportant. The only effective way i see for small minorities to obtain their rights is through the courts(e.g. US segregation laws). Court cases can also have the added advantage of educating the observer to the facts surrounding the case(e.g. eichmann could have been killed but was brought back for other purposes such as educating the public).

@ ArnoldHarris:
None of what you suggest as form of government is ever going to happen in Israel. Israel is a democracy, far from a perfect democracy, but still a democracy. What you describe at first glance could be coined as Religious Communism. Please bless us more as we are all just enthralled to see the keystrokes of a genius at work in passing on what surely must be a heavenly enspired form of government.

@ Max:
They need to be called on the lie that violence and terror have “…
no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly.”

” Are there any PA Jews? I thought that the PA was completely Jew-free,

I was wondering when someone would catch that. My weird sense of humor
the Jews in hebron would be Israeli citizens living outside of sovereign Israel(like US citizens living in mexico can vote in US Elections). My understanding is that the sovereignty of the west bank is still undetermined and in dispute.

Or in the words of our dear Bugs Bunny: “Surrender? Never hoid of the woid.”

“Yes rejoice – garbage in garbage out.”

There it is, Max. Well put.

Bernard, you asked me what I might suggest as a means of getting the present governing coalition in Israel to vote in annexation of Area C of Shomron and Yehuda.

I am a trained city and regional planner and earlier I had been a news reporter. I think my ideas for expanding Israel over an extended period of time are sound, and follow the path of earlier successfully expanding small countries.

But I have no idea of how to move a social democracy made up of wrangling know-it-alls who can never come to agreement. I neither like nor trust democracy as a permanent means of governing a state. The present governing coalition mainly are toadies to a failing formerly-great empire located halfway around the world. As long as Israel’s governing coalitions feel bound to obey the dictates of that empire, Israel shall indefinitely be imperiled.

All things considered, I should wish Israel to be governed by a strictly Jewish nationalist coalition. That cannot come about unless and until some game-changing event pulls people such as Prime Minister Netanyahu out of power. Can the be accomplished other than by massive and pervasive nationalist-minded civil resistance strong enough that the politicians dare not try using the army or police to disarm the people? That is hard to say. But I am certain that if I go too far off on a tangent advocating what many Jewish nationalists are thinking about, I probably would be banned from commenting on this website.

He is taking away America’s last defenses – opening the gates to the enemy. He would go down in History as the President who destroyed America – - but of course there will be no history and no historians – not ours anyway.

@ Michael Devolin:

Agreed – Occam’s razor says the simple truth is the simple truth.
Simple is as simple does – but I would have liked to gotten more details and signed confession etc on the triple murder – for the sake of the families of the slain but he would have eventually lawyered up , retracted and went to stonewall behind the system.
They probably managed to trigger his emotions and provoke a confession – when he realized that he had given the show away – probably for free – he panicked and tried to escape the situation.
Yes rejoice – garbage in garbage out.

“Poor deluded fool.”

Yes, he is, Max. Up here in rural Canada we would say of him that “he doesn’t know sh*t from shoe-polish.”
