I urge you all to take the time to watch this very important lecture by Dr Martin Sherman. Martin’s talk begins at 14:30. His introduction begins at 12:15.
He presents the only permanent long term solution to the Israel/Palestinian conflict that will work. No other solution comes close..
To listen to this lecture takes a serious commitment of time. But you owe it to yourself and to Israel to listen carefully.
I just changed the lecture video to the current version.

Hello there, Tex.
Sometimes you have to be clever in order at least to seem funny. And sometimes, it’s the other way around.
By the way. Where in Santa Anna’s Folly do you reside? I understand that the annexation permitted Texas to bust up into five separate states. Any actuality to that? I expect I would enjoy life in any part of Texas other than liberal Austin, which would remind me too damned much of its counterpart up here: Madison, Wisconsin. Other than that, a bowl of TexMex chili always charms as well as warms me.

Good line Arnold, just when I was beginning to despair of you, you make a clever funny.
@ D. Bene:
D. Bene,
One would suppose I should be flattered that you elevate me — totally unknown Arnold Harris of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin USA — suitable to argue with Mr Sherman about long-term solutions to problems of the Jewish state and the Jewish nations.
But I should point out to you that neither, Sherman, me or just about any other real Jew would or even could dump our Judaism, an attachment which HaShem directly ordered our nation to maintain the almost four millennia that have passed since Avram of Ur declined to murder his son, and in so doing, earned the upgrade of his name to Avraham.
Ted Belman is a pleasant and fair-minded servant of the Jewish nation. I doubt he would strip your rights to comment on Israpundit. But don’t press your luck with many more invitations for a Christian vs Jewish debate. Two reasons come to mind:
First, our nation used to be regularly compelled to take part in such public events whenever some Christian bishop thought he would win some debating points. We have the power to defend ourselves now, which also means that if any of you get impolite with us, we have the power to tell you either to buzz off or to kiss our collective Jewish ass. Plainly, we are not interested in arguing religion with you or any other non-Jew.
Second, you ought to consider what real Jews think of your purported savior, before even thinking of inviting us to discuss religion. Because here is what I think: Some 2000 years ago, a typical radical itinerant Jewish would-be reformer began acting like a Galilean version of Saul Alinsky in the courtyard of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem, got killed for it as trouble-makers have throughout all history, then, after one of his small circle of admirers swiped his body, reburied it, and set the stage for their dead hero to be selected selected to become the godlet of what I think was — and still is — a strange Greek religion straight from the top of Mount Olympus.
You have the right to believe whatever you want, and so do we. We will never join you in your strange Greek religion, irrespective of whatever blandishments with which you seek to charm us into doing something utterly stupid.
So if you want to do something constructive for western Christianity, leave us alone and spend your efforts trying to turn the West back into the Christian civilization that your forefathers knew and understood. Because all that is now rapidly decaying, to be replaced by societies taken over by legalized narcotics addicts and sexual perverts pretending at homosexual “marriages”. The West won’t last very long if all that becomes the normative way of life of these relatively recent masters of the world. Easy come, easy go, as they say.

I worked for a Canadian outfit under contract in the middle of the Red Sea. It was a drilling barge and no booze allowed. plenty of bottled seltzer though.
It’s like living on a ship that doesn’t move. They had to take us on and off by helicopter one by one when we changed crews took a whole day each way.
Nice guys to work for…. pay great.
