<< If Israel is so innocent then why won't they allow international monitors in the area? >>

International monitors were in Lebanon, when Israeli soldiers were captured and murdered by Muslim terrorists, and the monitors just stood there, filmed the capture, and did nothing to stop it. Israel would accept international monitors if they were truly unbiased and not members of forces that are hostile towards Israel.

<< Why do they shoot above the heads of journalists or the media to scare them away? >>

By your statement, I guess this happens once in a while. I would have to see the individual circumstances, but most of the time I watch news accounts where the journalists are not shot at.

<< Does Israel not want the real truth to be known? >>

If you mean "the real truth" to be the propaganda produced by terrorist groups, then you have a point. Most of the "news" coming from Muslim nations is produced by dictators and is full of lies. I smile when I read your statement about "real truth". That phrase is usually used when someone wants their lies accepted as gospel.

You are silent about the propaganda produced by Arab tyrants. Why?

<< or is America going to continue to be brainwashed by the threat of this "axis of evil" bullshit to justify their cause?? >>

The "axis of evil" is North Korea, Iraq and Iran. Why is it bullshit? Do you find nothing wrong with North Korea starving it's people to death, while the cruel, criminal rulers feast and party?

Do you find nothing wrong with Iraq's attempt to develop weapons of mass destruction? This doesn't scare you? How about Saddamn using chemical weapons to murder huge numbers of Iraqis? This is ok with you?

How about Iran's ruthless dictatorship and support of terrorist groups? This is OK with you?

But, when the only peace-loving democracy in the Middle East, Israel, merely wants to live in peace, you are outraged!

I don't agree with you about America being brainwashed, as you accuse, but I think someone has done a pretty good job with you. <g>
