Actually, that's an ominous development for Judeofascist Eurasia (EU/Russia/Israel)... Indeed, what's left for our Arab-loving Euros?? Money! rebuilding Gaza's airport, revamping Jericho's casino and whatnot! The US is supposed to remain rabidly pro-Israeli! The US is supposed to HATE Arabs and Palestinians!! And now, look at that: the US just drafted a UN resolution granting that Palestinian scum a STATE!! Holy shit.... And Cheney, where are you when Israel needs you?? Cheney, like Lieberman before, wastes his time hawking around his Iraqi wargame --the Judeofascists are loosing it, no doubt. Ooops... they still have a joker: the assassination of "West-traitor" G. W. Bush.
