Yeah I saw your "salaam". Shame on you for supporting terrorists. If you want to help the Palestinians then FIGHT terrorism. This is the one thing your side doesn't get. Trying to call Sharon a terrorist. That is ridiculous. You are the ones who always attack first usually during peace talks. You are the ones who put him in power. Otherwise Israel would have a liberal head of state. Your terrorism made Israel go into the defensive mode, so they elected their best warrior. Just like the US now wants strong military leaders. When there is a threat, we must all defend ourselves. The terrorists are more your enemies more than ours. If you are Palestinian (or a strong supporter) then you should have learned that aggression versus Israel does not work. And that Osama merely awakened a sleeping giant in the US. The Israelis are a potent, well-armed and extremely organized and dedicated force. They have defeated Arab armies at least twice and will continue to do so. Afterall, they are fighting for their very lives.Iit is self-defence not aggression. They only occupy certain highlands as a defensive buffer zone and surveillance point, not because they want to be there. You have to accept Israel's rights to exist, grudgingly realize they can be your friends, realize they are only fighting terrorism and attacks, realize they re outnumbered 10-1 at least, see how brave they are to stand against the threats all around them, see they have no interest in expansion, and see that so long as there is terrorism on your side there will never be peace. If you can't see that the terrorists are destroying every peace accord, you are either blind, deluded or biased and part of the problem. If you are actually supporting terrorism then I wish you curses and doom along with your "friends". I have no sympathy whatsoever for mass murderers of innocent civilians, or their supporters. I feel sorry for innocent Palestinians. The problem is, even the rock-throwing kids and bomb-toting girls are getting in on the action, so they're not innocent. If Palestine wants peace then all they have to do is help put Hamas the others away then sign on the dotted line. The Clinton deal was a great deal for Palestine but they refused it and wasted everyone's time. Time for the Palestinians and Arabs to realize that their cause is irrational, their propoganda lies are childish and transparent, their terrorists will not be tolerated and they are in fact their own worst enemies. PS - I am not only not Jewish I have long been a critic of Israel, until I saw the facts play out as clear evidence.

I'm convinced that Israel is the aggressor in general, with the Palestinians doing what they can to fight off a bully. And your propagandize-mongering doesn't play well here Ray. Israel occupies a minute fraction of the ME. But it's always too much in your and Arafat's eyes. Arafat won't accept anything less than the annihilation of the Israelis. Apparently, you won't either. You pretend the entire middle east was simply minding their own business in 67 when all of a sudden Israel up and attacked. You're the one swallowing lies Ray. God Bless You. alan w
