EU *and* USA snub Jerusalem Day festivities

Librul CBS carrying AP story

What, may I ask, is the use of supporting the Philistines when they continue to act like the money and other stuff we send them was sent from Iran? And we're way overdue insofar as slapping the EU back into shape over the matter. What turned us into big terrorist-supporters and what's making us turn our back on this important ally?

This story is from ten days ago.

Israel Prepares For Jerusalem Day

International Snubs And Urban Malaise Mar Preparations For Israel's Jerusalem Celebration

(AP) Everything is in place for gala celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of the moment many Israelis see as their most glorious – the dramatic unification of Jerusalem under their control in the 1967 Middle East war.

But the guest list keeps getting shorter, because the world doesn't recognize Israel's claim to the whole city.

The anniversary celebrations, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, are underlining the controversy surrounding Israel's hold on the fractious city it calls its eternal, undivided capital.

Because of the dispute over Jerusalem _ one of the most explosive aspects of the Israel-Palestinian conflict _ foreign countries don't maintain embassies in the city, even though it is the seat of Israel's government, pointedly preferring the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv.

On Sunday, as the government geared up for the celebrations, the European Union announced its representatives wouldn't be coming to a ceremony at the Israeli parliament. EU countries believe the city "should serve as a capital for two states," a spokesman said.

The U.S. embassy announced that Ambassador Richard Jones would also skip Monday's ceremony and that no other American representative would be going, in keeping with a long-standing policy of avoiding the annual Jerusalem Day celebrations.

"We are disappointed and unhappy that some countries have decided not to take part. United Jerusalem is the capital of Israel," said Mark Regev, spokesman for Israel's Foreign Ministry.

But some Israeli lawmakers criticized the decision to invite foreign diplomats to the event at all, local media reported, saying it was obvious they would have to decline.

Mustafa Barghouti, the Palestinian information minister, praised those refusing to attend, saying the celebrations "are in violation of international law."

In June 1967, Israeli paratroopers fought their way into the Old City and advanced to the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray, which had been under Jordanian control and off-limits to Jews for 19 years. For Israelis, the event has attained mythic status, signifying Israel's lightning six-day victory over the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria and the extension of its control over the ancient city at the heart of the Jewish faith.

After the war, Israel annexed Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods and outlying villages.

The elation of that first moment has since given way to ethnic and religious tensions and to the day-to-day minefield of governing one of the world's most complicated cities.

Today, Jews are two-thirds of the city's population, and Arabs make up the rest. Jerusalem's Arabs have long charged that Israel discriminates against them in urban planning, building new Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem to cement its control while neglecting basic services in Arab areas.

That has been exacerbated by the Arabs' nearly total refusal to take part in municipal elections, which they fear would mean acknowledging Israel's control, but which has also meant surrendering any clout they might have wielded at City Hall.

Jerusalem's demographic trends have added to the city's problems.

For years, secular Jewish Israelis have been moving away from the city, fleeing what many see as an oppressive religious presence and drawn by the more thriving job market in Tel Aviv and its suburbs.

That has left the city heavily ultra-Orthodox and Arab _ both populations with large families and high rates of poverty and unemployment. In a sign of those shifts, the city now has an ultra-Orthodox Jewish mayor for the first time.

According to the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies think tank, in 2006 the growth rate of the city's Arab population was 2.7 percent, more than twice that of Jerusalem's Jews. Some of that growth, however, comes from Arab residents returning to the city to avoid being walled out by Israel's separation barrier, which is oing up along Jerusalem's municipal boundary.

To boost Jerusalem's lagging economy and attract people to the city, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday announced a government investment program of $1.45 billion in the city over five years. The effort is to include moving government offices from Tel Aviv and providing tax breaks to Jerusalem employers.

On one hand, not even Mohammad cared about Jerusalem, and no one else really did, it was closed off and neglected. Like Indian Givers, now all of a sudden they care. This is how I understand from "extensive" research. Amoung other things. Only reason for it to be a two, 3 or 4 state capital is purely symbolic.

On the hand hand, the people of the world are amazing, in their ignorance and stupidity. Out of all the people in the world to support, not only do they support a made up group of people, per UN definitions of how to become a palestinian(2 years residency), a group of people with nazi idealogy, a group who wants to move onto the Caliphate, tearing up from the inside, propaganda, and who despises their values. How can you rally in the streets for people who make homemade rockets aiming at children using Human shields? We had a story THIS WEEK about a kid in Illinois was it? A toddler got a gun permit. In the middle east, he's old for a solider.

Am I ranting like a lunatic? Out of all the shit going on in the world, no one cares about anything relavent. It's the cause of the day since they forgot about Tibet. And in 2007, you gotta be stupid to not see propaganda. They still use the SAME EXACT lines and quotes from 80 years ago for hate speech. I see the same imagary Mussolini used and the North Koreans today that these protestors believe. And Borat wasn't even that far off.
Radical or pragmatic warning?

It's ashame the supply line is so messed up. I thought Citgo didn't get oil from the middle east. Maybe that's a typo. If they could separate it so I can only get Canadian oil, or give me an energy bill breakdown at the pump. :(

Jerusalem has no real role in Islam, and was never mentioned until the Crusades. Then suddenly Jerusalem became the city were the prophet ascended to heaven. That story was created to get the masses behind the battle to re-take the city from the Christians.

The Dome of the Rock mosque should be dismantled and removed from holy Jewish territory. Muslims have no legitimate religious claim to any part of the city.

I've read some stuff and websites, and it sounds like the muslums didn't even care about the city prior to present day. It was in disrepair and closed off. Now all of a sudden, it's holy, just like now there's a new race of people that started 40 years ago.

At anyrate, I saw a show on the History channel, I think, and they said that if a non-jew crossed into the Temple, it was punishable by death. Can't remember the show, but makes me hope religion is for real.
I like the silence coming out of lebanon right now. Once the gov't there gets rid of the Sunni al-qeida group, the Shia will be able to stage a nice little coup I guess.

Coal's getting a bad rap from the "global warming" alarmists. Any claims they make are suspect at best. Nitrates, sulfur dioxide and particulates are quite easily controlled. We used to burn lots more coal than we do at present—and we still survived; perhaps we were stronger.

And if you're still scared of coal, there are derivatives like coke, and the fuels from gasification and liquefaction. BTUs are far better than from a lot of oil-based fuels. We could be energy self-sufficient within a few years.

There's a reason why they electrified the NE. It was plenty dirty. I'm sure you've seen and know of the rowhouses that has that metal shoot on the ground, was for weekly coal delivery for the heat. Even old schools have them.

And also, even within Florida, the stats in the coal plants are interesting. One side of the state is clean, one isn't, both have the plants. Different equipment on both.

But it doesn't help the fish any. Contaminated with Mercury. Wasn't allowed to touch a broken thermometer in grade school. Mercury toxic. Eating fish is already banned in parts of the world, and in this hemisphere you're supposed to limit it. Don't eat any if you're pregnant either. Autism is on the rise.

I know. Your idea of US policy is that everyone is the enemy, a way of thinking that makes the US the enemy by default.

your pal,

I keep it autonomous. Using the all or nothing approach would mean that Vegas wouldn't have the Hoover Dam powering it. Why build it if it's not going to power 100% of our needs right?
If dams work somewhere, do that, if winds work somewhere, do that. I'm not looking at changing the whole grid overnight.
I like their idea to completely bring the bus system off the grid, and renewable.

Makes me feel that way too sometimes.

We have a few allies. But folks like Ron Paul et al wants to cut off aid, funding and allyness. We scratch [england, france hopefully, germany, Poland apparently(missle shield), Austrlia, Japan, Israel, etc)'s back, they scratch ours.
Canada I'm unsure of.

use that power to scare the enemies, and they'll shake into friendship.

WADR, you're sounding a bit like a Neocon—insofar as using such language. We do have enemies; and I prefer to identify them by whom they are. (Neocon overzealousness got us more [overt] enemies that used to ostensibly be allies; which I'm sure you'll acknowledge.)

And how are we relating this to the USA snubbing Jerusalem Day, anyway? I forgot . . .

The Philistines have never been our allies, though.

If you knew how to read, you'd see that I never said to do only one thing, you'd see that I said "wind is good."

Bringing the bus system "off the grid" is foolish. If the wind generators generate extra power, that power is wasted instead of going to other customers.

We need something that can provide most of our power

Treadmills, perhaps? Get the gang-bangahs on there for a spell and they won't have too much fight in 'em. Rebuild enough of 'em and you could close a good few power plants down . . .
