    Default Move Israel to Europe

    CNN - Link

    Another crazy rant by Ahmadinejad. But I can't help but notice that Israel seems to be everywhere in European sports leagues and other organizations of mainland Europe.

    Wow I want to get elected president
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Well they got boycotted in the asian league becuase of the palestinian case. Rather unfortunate, becuase they don't have a chance to get to the world cup via europe, their team is pretty good really, they could have a good chance in the asian league, but its all about politics these days...

    More related: I have belatedly to admit that the Iranians have got themselves a real problem with this guy. He seems to be, and I use the term after due consideration, as mad as a sack of rats.

    All previous posts in favour of Iranian development of nuclear power are hereby revoked until he is removed from power, and, what's more, the Iranian system is reformed so that someone like him cannot be elected in future.

    I do still maintain that the average Iranian in the street is no threat tio anyone though.

    Unfortunately, currently the Iranian election system seems set up so that precisely someone like him would be elected.

    JAG - didn't mean to take shots at Turkey. I was really trying to see what the opinions of Backroomers towards letting Israel into the EU. Perhaps I should have phrased it better:

    If it applied, would you be in favor of admitting Israel into the EU?

    I brought up Turkey because it is applying to get into the EU even though it is not a traditionally European country. Israel would be in a similar situation, not being considered a traditionally European country.

    Your comment "Was that not a dig at Turkey being considered to join the EU? Seemed so to me, anyway based on previous posts by certain members no doubt it would come. I really don't see any other reason for it to be brought up." I brought it up since I though it would promote discussion. There isn't too much to say about that Ahmadinejad character other than he's a crazy and not very safe - which I think we can all agree on. There may be something to talk about regarding moving Israel to Europe - the closest thing to it being membership in the EU.

    It is apparent that you do not want discussion, merely an opportunity to cast "certain members" as being anti-Muslim. I for one am not anti-Islam, even though I am an American conservative - the pinnacle of Great Satanism.

    Furthermore, I have no qualms with Turkey joining the EU - mainly since it is not my business. If Turkey wants to surrender some of its sovereignty (and gain some of your's, JAG) then I really can't stop them.

    You should say "He is clearly a disturbing individual." (Period) The fact that he owes his status partly from the United State's sponsorship of the Ayatollah's revolution does not negate Ahmadinejad's disturbing qualities.

    And as for us evil Americans, we blame Carter. I didn't put the Ayatollahs in power.

    Armedinejad isn't exactly doing Iran any favours. I imagine that countries that previously supported or were neutral in Iran's atempt to get nuclear power are reconsidering their position right now.

    Moving Israel to Europe is just crazy talk.

    The obvious place to move Israel is Utah.

    Here's why:

    a) Utah is full of desert.

    b) Utah, just like Israel, has a salt lake. At 1700 square miles, the Great Salt Lake is bigger than the Dead Sea at 394 square miles. Plus, the Great Salt Lake isn't disappearing.

    c) Utah is full of Mormons who think they're a lost tribe of Israel. They also think that they're responsible for the "literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent." LINK
    So, you know that the Mormons won't mind it if the entire population of Israel moves there.

    d) There's a lot more room in Utah (84,000 square miles to Israel's 10,840). Israel's population is six million. Utah's is only two and a half million. Plenty of room. A kibbutz for everyone!

    e) The US can save the $3 billion a year in foreign aid it currently gives to Israel.

    f) There are only 25,000 Muslims in Utah. Probably far fewer Palestinians. 'Nuff said.

    Was that not a dig at Turkey being considered to join the EU? Seemed so to me, anyway based on previous posts by certain members no doubt it would come. I really don't see any other reason for it to be brought up.

    Israel would have trouble to keep their "jew only get citizenship immediately" policy.....

    It's just rhetoric, aimed at the local populace. Ignore it.
