    Very generous of her....unless she covets you land, then she won't recognise your government or let you live in peace.
    A slice of hypocricy with your tea dear.

    I prefer 'anyone hanging them deserves a peace award'.

    BTW, TMBOA returned the thought with her personal 15 minute blow job.

    CFK must be the first Zionist to have been given an award by the PLO.

    A big honour indeed, and one more demonstration of CFK's balanced and fair foreign relations approach, without giving a hoot about what this or that superpower may think of it.
    The situation Palestinians are forced to live in is a disgrace for humanity and has to be solved as a first step towards stability in the region.
    The west helped create instability and resentment by supporting Israel no matter what it did, by orchestrating a coup against Iran's Mossadegh in 1953 and generally plotting coups and supporting dictators until concocting the criminal invasion of Iraq.
    Now, when resentment feeds extremism and it takes catastrophic proportions, the western countries suddenly realize there might be a problem there.
    Oh yeah, but root causes is something only bleeding heart Liberals worry about. We know how to solve things--we smoke'em out.

    THERE IS NO PALESTINE STATE!! There are two terrorist enclaves in Israel. One only has to examine reality. To the east, there is the West Bank enclave ruled, effectively, by the Fatahs. To the west, there is Gaza ruled by the Hamarses. When were the last free elections? No wonder the places are so attractive to Kirchner. She doesn't know what a “free” election is either.

    It can, occasionally, be useful to examine how Reekie comments, so let's take a look at reality. The Land of Israel has belonged to Israelites, Hebrews, Jews and Israelis for about 3,500 years. In 70AD the Romans attempted genocide by destroying what is known as the Second Temple. A few minutes thought gives some support to the length of tenure. After all, the Second Temple had been there, in Jerusalem, for more than 600 years. Authorised by Cyrus the Great. So how long for the First Temple?

    In 1947, the United Nations determined that there should be a free Jewish state and an independent Arab state. The Arab state was called Transjordan and is now called Jordan. Various arab countries didn't like this and so, on the day following the declaration of Israel's independence, arab countries went to war against Israel using FOUR arab armies and contingents from FOUR more arab countries. Arab countries took the opportunity to display their characters by lying about why they were at war. During the 1950s, Israel was frequently attacked by Palestinian fedayeen, nearly always against civilians.

    Note Reekie's use of “the criminal invasion of Iraq”. It's strange that Reekie doesn't understand “sovereign” as it's an “excuse” Kirchner frequently uses. But it's quite difficult to accuse a nation of “criminality” when it believes itself to be under imminent threat. By contrast, Hitler was criminal because of his intention to conquer and dominate the whole of Europe. Gutierri & co were criminal because of the intention to conquer and dominate the Falkland Islands. Argie debt? Long term deliberate fraud.

    She fills her cabinet with the den of thieves Kiciloff, Timerman, Rojkes Alperovich...and they get a palestinian award? They converted Argentina into palestine. Spraying pesticides on rural populations for profit. Looting the resulting dollars.

    @8

    Your protests at the dispossession of the Palestinians and Chagossians are all the more remarkable in the light of your determination to do the same thing to the Falklanders.

    Now that CFK has the PLO award, her next step will be to claim the Gaza Strip as an integral part of Argie territory, alleging that a garrison of Argies occupied it for 6 weeks in 1500B.C., until the Brits, along with the Israelis, came along in a couple of longships and kicked them out....Reekie's grandfather must have been one of those kicked out.

    Did they give her this award in the hopes that she'd sell ALL of patagonia to israelis...not just most of it? This could mean less settlements in palestine and more in Argentina.

    What about a Chavezwhalia Order of Merit with Oak Leaf cluster for Cretina. Or a North Korean Pygmy Star of Valor? Maybe a Russkie Golden Hammer with Silver Industry Sickle Ribbon (hecho en el china of course). A Chairman Moa Commissar's Medallion of Friendship with Special Citation?

    lol.

    Without be a comment on the PLO, but isn't this an award similar to when Eastbumfuck recognizes the the Falklands are Argentine?

    Ehhhhh .....referencing that Canadian in post#8, is South America the Eastern world.....or Western world? Perhaps this is their leading cause of continual failures. Eitherway....

    The status quo is all well and dandy.........if you do not reside in South America........right Enri?

    I agree with conqueror this time, there is NO palestinian state, as well as NO palestinian people. All they have now is a strip of land ruled by a terror-linked group from where they launch attacks against Israel.

    In there there are several groups of arabs who are used and abused by these terror-linked groups, in a pathetic pose to disguise its main goal: the destruction of Israel.

    Those arabs must stop supporting terror-linked groups and embrace peace, as well as recognize Israel´s right to exist. Only after that they should be allowed to have their own state.

    CFK: well done, another slap in the face of one of the few countries that have always being by our side. Iranian deal first, the murder of Nissman, now this; what´s next?
