Re <<Mani, how is the treatment of Turkey of its Kurdish minorities is less "racist" than Israel's of Arabs?>> Honestly, I have no idea. But I repeat (cut & paste) what I just said in an earlier post: As an American I am unhappy for our unconditional support for a country, that I think is based on racist principles and guilty of serious human right violations against Palestinians. I will continue to try to have my voice heard by writing my congressman and will economically boycott any company that is related to Israel. That is all I can do. Mani

Russia is a co-sponsor of the Middle East peace process launched in 1991, but its role has been overshadowed by the United States. On the second day of Mr Sharon's three-day visit, Mr Putin said his government was following events in the Middle East "with concern, especially as a significant number of the citizens there originate from the Soviet Union and Russia".
