| Former Sen. Chuck Hagel declined to sign a letter circulated by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 2007 calling upon then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to press Arab allies of the U.S. to recognize Israel’s right to exist “and not use such recognition as a bargaining chip for future Israeli concessions.” Seventy-nine Senators eventually signed the letter, which was sponsored by Schumer and by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The Schumer-Graham letter “concerning the Responsibilities of Friendly Arab States” has not, apparently, been cited yet in the debate over Hagel’s potential confirmation as Secretary of Defense. The letter

Comments:
Schumer is a duplicitous jerk. Hagel is a disaster and should withdraw. We know he won´t.

Obama and Hagel both agree--Israel is evil and should submit to the religion of peace or disappear.

Saudi Arabia proposed full oeace and full diplomatic recognition of Israel by all Arab League nations in 2002. All israel had to do was go back to the pre 1967 borders and recognize Palestine´s right to exists ( which was part ofntheUN plan of 1947-48 to beginnwi). Isrsel had never even acknowledged that is proposal exists. Who isnthe real foot-dragger ? It is time to give Palestinians some human decency and let em live freely. Why are they the only people on earth denied their own country? I went there to visit and got my eyes opened. I stopped supporting Zionism when i realized what it really means. Several of my Jewish friends feel the same way, so dont even think of hurling "anti-Semite" labels at me, or other such knee-jerk reactions. Be rational amd think! Ourngovt has lied to us about so many things over the decades....this is just one more of them.

Poster #8 is a real winner!!!!!!!! Tiny Israel was attacked by pretty much every Arab state surrounding, and fought off the attackers at huge risk for existence. And yet #8 seems to feel that Israel should do a "start over" with the attackers? So they can be attacked once again without a buffer zone? Give me a BREAK! Israel will give back the occupied lands when every other country gives back land they won in a war, even those they started themselves.

#8, in this country you have the right to express your views (supposedly) and I´m always glad to hear the other side when the arguments make any sense at all but I´ve been to Israel and the Middle East also and I can say without any hesitation that you are full of it up to your eyeballs. I won´t even point out where you are wrong because your world view is so completely upside down and I´ve wasted enough time with you.

Sorry, Democracy First [sic]. You *are* an Anti-Semite. Don´t even try that "but I have Jewish friends!" crap; that anti-Semitic claptrap is even older than your canards. And as to you visiting Israel? Puh-leeze. You haven´t been anywhere near the place. Nobody who sees the actual ground, and the horrible strategic position it renders unto Israel, EVER suggests the 1949 Armistice lines (there WAS no recognized 1967 border; no Arab country ever even acknowledged Israel, let alone agreed to international borders) are viable. And the ONLY country in the region that ever actually agreed to a two-state solution is Israel. For doing so, they got TWO "Intifadas". Having experienced the Palestinians repeatedly and violently rejecting a two-state solution, only you would find it strange that Israel would conclude it is not possible at this time with this Palestinian "leadership."

To add to those responding to #8...Every other Arab country in the ME gives no real support to the "Palestinians". They consider them to be nothing more than pawns in the Arab vs Israeli long running conflict. Kinda like the blacks and the leftists in this country.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later. Baroness Thatcher, born Margaret Roberts, became the Conservative MP for Finchley, north London in 1959, retiring from the Commons in 1992. Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
