| As I understand it, this is a resolution. There's no new law being enacted. I don't think it matters whether or not the President signs it. How I interpret it, is that Congress had agreed that calling for the destruction of Israel, just like calling for the destruction of any sovereign state based ... |

| ...And the whole reason for Israel's existence is for...the oppressed Jews who mostly came from the Pale of Settlement to escape the oppression of living in the Pale of settlement. So if you're an oppressed Jew in Silesia you're fair dinkum because all the rapes and mass graves have earned you stre... |

| The Pale of Settlement was a negative barrier. "Jews can NOT move beyond this line". Israel is a positive mandate: "this land is reserved FOR Jews as their homeland". Opposite things. And actually there WAS a second "officially Jewish state" in the world. Still exists a... |

| If the homeopathic "medicine" seems to work, it's nearly always because of the placebo effect, or because the body healed itself after the illness ran its course. It's like that joke I heard about the guy who took a quack cure for the common cold, and claimed it worked because in only 7-1... |

| Thats true. Both sides were secular. The state of Israel was founded by secular Jews influenced by the nationalism sweeping all of the ethnic subgroups of Europe in the 19th century, and many were influenced by socialist and Marxist ideals.

| The modern state of Israel has nothing in common with the "Pale of Settlement" in the old Czarist Russian Empire. And even if it did have any resemblance ...there is no point to your point. The Pale of Settlement (late 1700s to 1917) was a VAST swath of Eastern Europe that encompassed all ... |

| Americanized versions of English words usually annoy me but I prefer 'ass' to 'arse'. A 'nice ass' seems feasible, but a 'nice arse' seems like an oxymoron. Although I still prefer 'bum' to 'butt'. Isn't arse the original spelling and ass an Americanized phonetic spelling because the r is typically... |
