Jozef, re:"As far as justification of Palestinians, they have ZERO justification for terror they are committing daily. Let me give you an example from CIA fact-book about Slovakia, where I am from: Ethnic groups: Slovak 85.7%, Hungarian 10.6%, Gypsy 1.6% (the 1992 census figures underreport the Gypsy/Romany community, which is about 500,000), Czech, Moravian, Silesian 1.1%, Ruthenian and Ukrainian 0.6%, German 0.1%, Polish 0.1%, other 0.2% (1996) Every one of these minorities either once had a country and lost it, never had a country, the territory of their former country was taken by someone. Yet, nobody is committing any suicide murder attacks. If there is anyone who deserve support of American taxpayer, Palestinians are in the very last place. There are many forms of acceptable resistance, but what Palestinians are doing is totally unacceptable. If a penny goes to Palestinians, you are basically rewarding a murderous acts, and discriminating against all other potential groups around the globe which may have grievances, but still maintain a level of civility." Well i suspect folks in slovakia have jobs,homes etc. The balkans as you know has had a pretty terrible history of ethnic problems. Unfortunately when large portion of palestinians are living in refugee camps for DECADES you fester this kind of problem. As a case in point we have all been appalled by the intifada violence. The world community has been pushing to set up independent monitors and a BUFFER zone with 3rd party troops. This seems very logical to most people. Now tell me why ISRAEL has been against this. Why has US government vetoed any action like this. Ignoring whatever bias one has. When you see two people fighting. The first thing that you do is help separate them and calm things down. Frankly the issues in middle east are not black and white but many shades of gray. regards, Kash
