Thanks for the flippant response. City Council deliberately creates quagmires and given their problems with bribery the FBI should open a second headquarters here. The Mayors office is equally problematic ever since Frank Rizzo engaged in a coup.

Its easier to make change from the outside and running for office often makes personal matters subject to public scrutiny.

We don't do okay. A friend of mine grew up in Philly and in the 80's she used to see kids from Olney and Central High Schools fighting on the subway platforms. They still do that today.

We don't do okay when it comes to violent crime or crime involving guns. All I have to do is turn on the news on Monday and see how many people have been shot.

I have a problem with terrorists and the Arab nations/individuals who provide aid and comfort to terrorists. I have a problem with the Arab governments who have repeatedly attacked Israel and have pledged they will not recognize or make peace with Israel. It was the Arabs who created the situation that has been continued to this day.

As far as the West Bank goes I could care less about what the Palestinians want. They reneged on the Oslo and Dayton Accords and have engaged in terrorism instead of trying to create a nation of their own with the land they have.

The Arabs were led by their noses by the Russians who claimed Israel massing their military to attack the Arabs. The Arabs failed to do due diligence and double check. Unlike Pearl Harbor America was not preparing for war against Japan. The Arabs were in battle formations because they were going to attack. Should the Israeli's have waited for an impending attack.

U.N. Peacekeepers are lightly armed and would have done nothing to stop the Egyptian military which was already massing on the border. In 1956 Egypt blocked the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships. Egypt hadn't learned its lesson the last time.

Jordan had been a base of operations for the PLO who was engaging in terrorist attacks. The Israeli's sent a message to both parties about what would not be tolerated.

The U.N. is a joke when it comes to Israel, remember when the Arabs and their allies passed a resolution equating Zionism with Racism. There is a joke about how the U.N. closes on Christian and Muslim holidays and on Jewish they pass a resolution against Israel.

As for your using a GIF instead of using your words, you just proved you are just another basement dwellers. The Palestinians dance in the streets after Jews are killed and make the terrorists hero's. When they love their children this practice will end, instead they teach them to kill

Jerusalem has always been the capital of Israel East and West. Furthermore when Jordan controlled East Jerusalem they denied Israeli citizens access to the Western Wall. Any tourists who entered from Israel could not reenter Israel.

As for the West Bank, when the Palestinians love their children as much as they hate Israel then they will have control over the West Bank.

Very little has changed in 56 years. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Syria continue to fund terrorists in a proxy war against Israel. The PLO reneged on both the Dayton and Oslo Accords. After turning over Gaza and the West Bank to the Palestinians, the Palestinians engaged in suicide bombings which led Israel to build a border wall. Palestinian school text books teach children that Jews are subhuman and should be killed.

The Arab nations have always been selfish when it comes to the Palestinians. When jews fled or were forced out of Europe and the Middle East Israel took them in a gave the support and citizenship. The only thing the Arabs have done is use the Palestinians to fight a proxy war. Palestinians who live in Arab countries are treated like second class citizens and cannot obtain citizenship even if they are born in one.

If the Arab nations truly want to want to help the Palestinians they need to step up and help cleanup the mess they made. It should not be done by Western countries alone.
