I would expect America to respond exactly as Israel has responded. America and Israel have a very strong similiarity in their revulsion to law and order.>>> Me too..That is our only hope...That is the only way to deal with the kind of people we are dealing with...This is not OJ Simpson trial

Further to your adoration of Noam Chomsky, readers here should know that Chomsky is the best friend of many Holocaust deniers, and is untroubled by Holocaust denial. Chomsky has not denied that he wrote the folowing in defense of the vicious antisemitic denialist Robert Faurisson: I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of gas chambers, or even denial of the holocaust. Nor would there be anti-Semitic implications, per se, in the claim that the holocaust (whether one believes it took place or not) is being exploited, viciously so, by apologists for Israeli repression and violence. I see no hint of anti-Semitic implications in Faurisson's work ...

The PA admits suppressing video of the pro-bin Laden rallies. BTW, reporters estimated that 3,000 people took part -- hardly "a few kids" ************************************************ PA unapologetic on confiscating rally footage By Lamia Lahoud JERUSALEM (September 17) - Palestinian Authority actions to confiscate film footage of Palestinians celebrating the terror attacks on the US were logical to prevent the media from painting the wrong picture of Palestinian sentiment, Bassam Abu Sharif, an adviser to PA Chairman Yasser Arafat, said yesterday. "This was a normal preventive act... we don't want to give more to the Zionist propaganda which portrays all Palestinians as terrorists," he said. "The idea is that these people were not allowed to film, because a small group of people on film would represent the Palestinian people as a whole." He said only a few kids held up pictures of bin Laden, and the police arrested journalists and confiscated the film of those who defied orders not to film an illegal demonstration. Abu Sharif charged that Israel has violated press freedom far more than the PA and accused Israel of taking advantage of it for its own propaganda. "How many were injured and killed by the IDF? How many times have cameras been broken... there are soldiers on trial for severely beating an Egyptian camera crew," he said. Journalists and cameramen have complained that they have been threatened by Fatah activists for planning to show footage of celebrations, and there have been reports that Palestinian policemen detained cameramen who filmed a Hamas demonstration in Gaza on Saturday at which Palestinians carried pictures of Osama bin Laden. PA officials countercharged that pro-Israeli media are trying to portray the reaction of a handful of people who were celebrating as the Palestinian attitude. Commenting on the complaints by the Foreign Press Association, one Palestinian source responded: "Let them not send any spies next time."
