Hawk,

Re: So I'm having a problem trying to find a Zionist who actually has sufficient power to carry out the diabolical plan you claim they have in store for the Middle East..

So I'm having a problem trying to comprehend how you can so conveniently forget Ariel Sharon's deliberate provocation by walking the Temple Mount with a mere 2,000 meek peace seekers a couple of years ago that started this latest intifada. You want a Zionist, you got a Zionist. He runs the country. What is it about Sharon you don't understand?
That he's a war criminal? That he's an imperialist and colonizer? That he wants nothing more than to completely dispossess the Palestinians and send them into exile in the Transjordan?

Re: So call us back on this "zionist conspiracy" when they are able to achieve 65% of the vote in Israel.

Remarkably weak and disingenuous red herring. You usually do much better than this throwaway line.

*****************
Is Israel an imperialistic bully? You bet your life.

Here's what Moshe Dayan had to say about the matter in 1955:

"[Israel] must see the sword as the main, if not the only, instrument with which to keep its morale high and to retain its moral tension. Toward this end it may, no - it must - invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation-and-revenge...And above all - let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries, so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space." Quoted in Livia Rokach, "Israel's Sacred Terrorism."

Plus ca change, la plus l'meme chose, n'est pas?

Territorial fascists? Yes. Bullies? Yes. Sharon is merely the latest criminal to lead this despicable war of territorial aggression.

*****************

"If you care about truth, and not just what you've been told all your life, then you may come to believe, as we have, that one of the greatest injustices the world has ever known has been done to the Palestinian people."
