You Be The Judge

[Todd-'o'-Vision]

A case has come to you on appeal. Nothing very exciting, just a little dispute over real estate. Here, as they say in legal circles, is how the case went down.

Jack Smith is suing Robert Brown. It’s a dispute over title to real state. Both Smith and Brown both claim title to about 100 acres. The trial court appoints a special master, a third party to review the claims and to suggest a solution. The special master decides that the best way to resolve the disputed claims would be to simply divide the real estate. Smith gets 50 acres. Brown gets 50 acres.

Smith thinks the decision is fair. He’s willing to accept his 50 acres and move in. Brown doesn’t like the decision at all. He rejects it. He decides he’s going to proceed with a legal action to attempt to get ALL of the property.

Brown wages a fierce battle in court. He files motion after motion and loses every one of them. Finally the court case concludes. It’s over. Smith, who had accepted the special master’s original offer, wins. Brown, who rejected the official offer and fought to get all of the land, loses. The land is now Smiths by virtue of his stunning victory at trial.

Now, after the case is over, after the decision has been rendered, Brown suddenly decides that he’ll go ahead and take the original offer. Smith says it’s too late. Brown had his chance and turned it down. He then fought in court and lost. It’s time for Brown to go away.

What is your decision?

It’s simple, my friends. Brown loses. He had his chance. He turned down a fair settlement. He wanted it all, or nothing. He so hated Smith that he didn’t even want him living on the adjacent property. Now Smith has it all.

Some of you have already caught on here, haven’t you. You know that this is all just an analogy. It’s isn't Smith and Brown at all. It’s Schlomo and Muhammad. It’s Israel and the so-called Palestinians.

The special master was the United Nations. The UN offered a partition plan. Israel accepted. The “Palestinians” didn’t. The Arab world decided that it would fight – not in court but in the hills and on the streets. Muhammad so hated Schlomo that he didn’t even want him in the neighborhood. Certainly it wouldn’t be too hard to push the Jews into the Mediterranean. Why accept the United Nation’s offer when with a few tanks, bullets and bombs you can have it all?

Oops. It seems we had just a wee bit of a miscalculation there. Schlomo was no pushover. As Muhammad was amassing his troops and armor on Schlomo’s border, Schlomo struck. It was no contest. Muhammad is pushed back. The law of conquest, the land is Schlomo’s.

It’s time for the world to work to protect Israel’s property rights. Let Muhammad and his angry crowd go confront Jordan. Wasn’t it Jordan that got fed up with Yassir Arafat and his Arab “Palestinian” goons a few years back and slaughtered about 20,000 of them?

Truth is … nobody in the Middle East wants Arafat and his hate-filled followers. The so-called “Palestinians” are hated only slightly less than are the Jews. The only real friends they have are their allies in the “hate-America” movement.

How could the Palestinians or the Jews just "go away"? Where would they go?

And if Israel could become united and Palestinian-free, could it ever hope to have peaceful borders?

What's with that "so-called Palestinians" rhetoric, Todd?

An excellent analogy Todd.

Now we just sit back and wait for p_p to tell us all about the poor Palestinians and the fact that it is all a Zionist plot.

Of course one of the poor is Arafat, the man with over $5million in his numbered account.

no offense, blue, but i think it is wrong to classify all Palestinians are Arafat supporters. He is nothing more than a corrupt dictator who most of the Palestinians would love to get rid of. It'd be like saying that the whole of Ireland or the Bask Country supports the terrorist attacks of the IRA or ETA.

Just throwing it out like the "so-called Israelians" rhetoric is. I thought it only fair that both sides get thier fair push

None taken (would I take offence with you!).

I didn't classify them as Arafat supporters, I said he was one of them (ie a Palestinian).

I am aware that not all Palestinians support him that was why I mentioned the money. There are not too many of the others with $5million in the bank.

Arafat is a tyrant who's time has come and gone.

they can each blast themselves till hell freezes over for all I care, my issue is with our so called "leadership". You can't have it both ways as it would seem the last several presidents wanted. One of these days America's dependency upon Middle Eastern oil is going to break us. Does anyone really believe our leaders give a rats ass about the violence in the region? Does anyone really believe anyone in OPEC cares about terror regimes or training camps in their own sand lots? If it was not for the oil, we'd never say a word, never fire a bullet, and the leaders of the Middle Eastern countries would not have the money they have to finance various questionable tatics. The irony is usually when a dog bites the hand that feeds them, the owner will punish the dog, not say "thank you sir, may I have another please". Kill a few moose and save our economy with the reserves in Alaska. Beats killing a few of our men and women fighting another war on sandy soil.
