RE. Israel "What did they(Israel) ever do for the US?" Sun, Do you want a list of what strategic allies do for each other, especially during the cold war? Who knocked out Iraqi nuclear capabilty for example?. Communisms spread into the mideast was stopped because of Israel. And actually the Arab people are probably the chief beneficiaries of that fact. "And don't think that I am anti-Jew." When ever i hear this language i know i am talking to a bigot. In your case i will hold off on that charge. I believe you are confused. There is really only one historical question. In 1948 the United Nations partitioned palestine. The jews accepted--the arabs did not. The next day Israel was invaded by every Arab nation. The Palestininian people were unnecessarily dislocated because of the ill fated invasion.. After they lost the war the Arab states deliberately kept the Palestininian people in the worse conditions imaginable. They created the camps. What happened tuesday all comes from this. Where is there a democratic or progressive regime in the arab world? There are none. Arabs are very intelligent people. They have been kept back by their own repressive regimes. And this has led to the hopelessness you talk about which in turn leads to the fanaticism we witnessed on tuesday. Jews and Arabs in Palestine are natural allies. Maybe one day they will come to that realization. Perhaps Sharon and Arafat have been taken to the abyss and perhaps accomodation can come. I prey for that day. mike
