For those of you that would like to hear a brief history of Israel by a US Senator D-NJ Bob Menendez on the Senate floor this video is a good start.

United States Senator Menendez (D-NJ) on the floor of the Senate making a speech acknowledging Israel’s History. A worthwhile and well understood history lesson.

God exists and gives his favour to the pious. Treat your enemys humanely, killing children has never been advocated by God. Starving out your enemy and denying non combatants medical treatment, the tools of GENOCIDE I do not believe God advocates this !

Killing innocents is wrong, killing anybody is wrong. Israel has to give back the land it should never have stolen. USA plc should never have set up its military base there in the first place

Well, his reasoning does open the doors for the Native American to reclaim their land and kick out the American that have been occupying the Americas since the 16s century.

It does also open the door for the German to reclaim their ancestral land taken by France, Poland and Russia.

It does allow China to retake Taiwan, and it does also gives the same rights to Palestinian to reclaim their own ancestral land since Persian and Roman time.

The US just pen the door for their own demise.

It may even Give Russia Precedent to reclaim Alaska and Inuit to reclaim the Yukon.

Two wrong do not make it right.

Before the Jews did occupy that territory as they came with Moses, who told them that a God told him that this is the promised land, others where living there that ended up getting decimated, killed and enslaved as well as displaced.

Should we look up their blood line and restore it back to them, after all they where there before the Israelites.

We can go on like this for almost 70,000 years long before God even existed, he had to be invented first by some one that wanted to implement his will onto the people.

Israel is living evil. They dance on top of building in NY when WTC destroyed by terrorist because that tragedy will force USA to attack Iraq causing 4500 American soldiers to be killed. IN FACT I THINK ISRAEL IS BEHIND WTC TRAGEDY, BECAUSE ONLY THEM WHO GET BENEFIT FROM THE WTC ATTACK. MAYBE NOW BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS HAVING ADINNER WITH OSAMA BIN ALDEN. WE, AMERICAN ARE BEING FOOLED BY ISRAEL, WE MUST WAKE UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE AND START FIGHT ISRAEL. IF NOT, THAT MEANS WE AMERICA JUST A ISRAEL SLAVE.

American and Israeli politics have always been closely linked, it is no surprise such acknowledgment made by a US Senator has been made.

don't forget that Armenia should take over Eastern Turkey again after their genocide a hundred years ago, and all of Iraq should be ruled by a monarchy with a Chaldean-Catholic or Assyrian-Orthodox King or Queen (the only true "natives") ... in fact:

everyone in the world should have a genetic test done to see where they come from, and that's where they should go!!!

Hi Paschen,

I think you are begging the question. All he did was spell out the history. Nothing more. He just didn't revise it to fit the Palestinian narrartive that Arafat created.

I agree Sputnic with your assessment. The only problem is with your assumption and blame as to who is perpetrating these things. If you shoot at me, kidnap my soldiers, shoot rockets at my children then why should I provide you with any generosity. It is like finding a scorpion drowning and trying to rescue it by putting it in your hand and placing it on dry land. In the meanwhile it strikes you and you get perturbed and complain to the scorpian since you have just saved it from drowning. It's response is simple "it is my nature".

If it is Hamas's nature through its ideology to want to destroy Israel any way it can then only a fool will let them do it.

BTW, the denial of non-combatant medical treatment came from Hamas denying its own people the right to transfer to Israel and to go to hospital. There have been screw ups in the west bank from time to time in delays for fear of bombs in the ambulances, not uncommon but that aside if needed Palestinians do come to Israel for treatment and are gladly accepted and welcome. Just spend sometime in the hospitals in Jerusalem and even Tel Aviv. You would be shocked. They don't televise that news.
