<< The fact that Israel's brutality against the Palestinians ... >> It was the Palestinians who turned down the Camp David peace accords, and started terrorist attacks against Israel. Fact, versus your fiction. But! Terror attack wounds 8 outside east Jerusalem school jpost.com ===> "Minutes before the explosion, a previously unknown Jewish terror organization calling itself Revenge of the Oppressed sent police reporters a beeper message indicating the bombing was in revenge for Saturday night's attack in the capital's Beit Yisrael neighborhood in which 10 Israelis were killed." <=== If Israel is going to be falsely blamed for attacks against Palestinian civilians, at least this time it might not be a total lie. I hope that the Revenge of the Oppressed has many more targets. Until the Palestinians feel the pain of their rejecting peace, they may feel the pain caused by their own inhuman crimes.

Sorry, you can't pass off that kind of slime as morality. The fact that Israel's brutality against the Palestinians has been going on for a long time puts Israel in a worse moral state, not a better one....>>>> Sure can..as long as US President and public agree that Arabs not Jews are and have been all along the major obstacle to Peace in the Region... story.news.yahoo.com Israeli officials have said they are eager to go to the Arab kingdom to follow it up with talks, but the Saudis are discouraging such discussions Asked about that disagreement, Bush came down squarely on Israel's side. He praised the Saudi "vision" of peace and said he supports those who "are trying to look at what it means."

Palestinians remain, however, one of the most invisible of all ethnic communities. The Australian government’s original refusal to allow "Palestine" as birthplace on official documents and its refusal to accommodate Palestinian refugees under any special entry programs - forcing many to adopt Jordan and Lebanon as points of origin - has accelerated their general fade from view. Many Palestinians feel that even in Australia they are subject to various forms of discrimination - ethnic, religious and political - once experienced in their homeland. This has led in many cases to withdrawal from the community so as to avoid political confrontation or declaration of ethnic origins. Research by Christine Asmar has concluded that the Palestinian community may be reluctant to fully identify with their adopted country because of dissatisfaction with Australia’s official line of the Palestinian issue - the end result being a sense of continuing alienation and exile. palestinecostumearchive.org
