| Jordan: End Israeli occupation, violence will end | |
| 2006-09-20 | |
| Jordan's King Abdullah II said Tuesday that until Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian lands and gives Palestinian their rights, the cycle of violence will continue in the region and its effects will be felt throughout the world. "I come before you today with a deep sense of urgency," Abdullah told the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly. "Never has it been more important for the world community to act decisively for peace in my region." He said the recent crises in the Middle East - apparently referring to the conflict between Israel and Hizbullah as well as the violence in the Gaza Strip - showed that "there can be no just global order when aggression and occupation are permitted to take the place of international law." "Our youths are asking, 'where is the justice, where is the will of the global community?' We must answer them by establishing a lasting peace based on the international legality we have pledged to uphold," he said.

| #10 Abdullard, I know you have a problem with paleostains in your country, but that's a self-inflicted problem. If you'd granted them citizenship, put them to work as productive citizens, and demanded their loyalty in 1948, there wouldn't be a problem today. Instead, you, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon isolated those Arabs that fled the new nation of Israel into "refugee camps" where they could be manipulated into an ever-angry mob that could be used to create havoc on your behest, just as mohamhead created a new "religion" for the sole purpose of countering the Jews and Christians who considered themselves superior in intellect and in the value of work over slovenly, lazy Arab tribalists. You've been fighting ever since, and except for a brief period when the Seljuk Turks took over Islam and created the Ottoman Empire, you've lost. Most people fighting and losing for most of the past 1300 years would get a clue. Maybe the Jews and the early Christians had it right... |

| #8 Your Royal Highness, We Americans "occupy" America. You Jordanians "occupy" Jordan. The Israelis "occupy" Israel. Um... show me "palestine" on a map. ANY historical map. Find it in any old almanac, encyclopedia, or standard reference. Listen, O high and worshipful asshat, 'palestinians' are an INVENTION. |

| #6 Even if all the Jews are killed in Israel, the Paleos will still fight themselves and kill each other so your argument is void dipwad. |

| #5 Israel left Lebanon,Gaza and were thinking off leaving the West bank.Will that see the end of violence-NO!!!!. Until Israel is destroyed groups like Hamas,Al Qaeda and Hizbullah and states like Iran and Syria will never end the violence!!!! |

| #2 I'm sure the paleos agree that violence will end when the occupied territories are returned. Thing is, paleos think the country of Israel is "occupied" territory. |

| #1 Memo to King Abdullah: Provide some functional solutions to the "Right of Return" issue for a change or go piss up a rope. |
