Bush’s newest made up word: “Hezbollian.”

Was watching the news this morning before heading into work and they had a clip of Bush talking about the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. I wasn’t paying it all that much attention because I was busy trying to wake up at the time, but I could’ve sworn that at one point Bush used the phrase “Hezbollian attacks.” It sounded like such a stupid turn of phrase that I wrote it off as me still being half asleep, but it turns out that’s exactly what he said. You know, as though the fighters were from Hezbollastan.

I swear the only reason the rest of the world takes anything Bush has to say seriously is because he’s got his finger on the big red button. Otherwise they’d probably be laughing their asses off at him.

There wasn’t a Jordan until it was carved out of eastern Mandate Palestine so Consi’s statement that “The Palestinians were not removed from Palestine.  They lived in Jordan.” Is far more untrue than anything LuckyJohn posted. But I’ve lurked here long enough to not expect Consi’s ‘facts’ to be real facts. Of course, according to Consi, zionist historian Benny Morris (and everyone else that is a legitimate historian) is probably the one lying, not Consi.

Miner, would you please tell the readers who governed eastern Mandate Palestine from its “inception” to its division? Also, please identify for them the time period that it was a nation-state, would you please?  You might do that by including that in a timeline.  The timeline might be helpful for the readers and could go from the time of recorded history until the present day, might you construct one for us?

Your answers will settle the accusations that you levied here.  I take offense at the accusations.  I have never intentionally misrepresented facts..  Not here, not anywhere.  You may take issue with my conclusions and the inferences I draw from the facts, which are my opinions, but you can go to the bank with the facts I state.

LJ:  There have been a litany of wrongs suffered by those on both sides.  As a result, compelling sympathetic arguments can be made for either side. As a result, there will be “historians” advocating a point of view.  My sole point was there was never a country of Palestine from which the Palestinians were expelled from in 1967 or 1948.

No, but I’m sure they had another name for it back then. Something like “home”, I imagine. Regardless, as you say, wrongs have been done and suffered from both sides. Closure of the matter will not be an issue of who cedes blame, as finger-pointing seems to be the prime activity on the issue, and has had little success so far. The second most popular activity of “I am my people” - projection onto previous generations - has arguably made things worse.

One sure and primary and fundamental fact is the joint existence of a subject and of its world. The one does not exist without the other. I acquire no understanding of myself except as I take account of objects, of the surroundings. I do not think unless I think of things — and there I find myself. - Bruce Lee
