| US calls for Mount Dov talks |
| 2006-07-27 |
| The US is "counseling" Israel to negotiate a possible withdrawal from the Mount Dov (Shaba Farms) area with Lebanon as part of a long-term arrangement for Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post has learned. This issue was one of the focuses of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's talks in Jerusalem Tuesday with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. However, this issue - as well as discussions about the mandate and composition of a possible multinational force in Lebanon - was shunted aside Wednesday because of the bitter fighting and the IDF losses at Bint Jbail. |

| #9 *TAKE* (not "give") as much territory as possible, militarize to the hilt, use a portion of it as a buffer around Israel proper, and dare anybody to do anthing about it. Screw this, and screw the arab nations around Israel that have never given it a moment's peace. |

| #8 How about this? Israel tells Assad he has first dibs on Mount Dov/Shaba Farms otherwise theyÂ’re going to sell it on ebay. |

| #6 The only peaceful border Israel has had in recent years is along the annexed Golan with Syria. Land for peace seems to work when Israel takes the land. I wonder why? |

| #4 I am sorry. but whoever in the US State Dept. said this needs to be fired. Israel do not give up land to a single Arab country until you had 50 years of not one muslim terrorist attack. |

| #3 G*ddamnit! Are you f%$king stuck on stupid!? That means you freaking morons in the State Dept or wherever this bullsh*t came from - and any Israeli government member who even briefly entertains the idea. Land for peace, land for peace, land for peace - give this up and I'll promise to do that; give that up and I promise we'll do this other thing over here; Give that thing up over there and I double honest to Allah promise we'll never, ever come after anything you have again... On and on and on and on... This is freaking ridiculous and the sooner somebody begins to realize that this state of affairs cannot go on forever the better. |
