George, as I am sure you already know, Israel spends all of its defense grants from the US, with US contractors and weapons suppliers. Get a little real world education before you attempt to confront a learned crowd. And on that note, it is time for me to kiss Ariel goodnite, and also her brother Alex, named after another great conqueror.

George, The United States, will NEVER stop military aid to Israel. It is in the best interests of the United States, that Israel is the strongest military in the Middle East. It is in the best interest of the Arab world that Israel has the strongest military in the Middle East. It is in the best interests of the entire world that Israel is the strongest military in the Middle East. The United States State Department knows this. The Russians know this. And the Egyptians know this.

I think the comments by Ariel Sharon were a test to see how brainwashed the public is. When you look at 1938, you see Nazi Germany, a powerful state based on racist philosophy, invading and occupying the defenseless state of Czechoslovakia. And the world refused to help the Czechs. When you look at 2001, you see Israel, a powerful military state invading and occupying the defenseless (and stateless) Palestinians. And the world refuses to come to the aid of the Palestinians. Sharon is dead right that Israel is not Czechoslovakia of 1938. Israel is Germany of 1938. Tom
