Joe re: Of the 2 kinds of support, economic and moral, I don't think cutting economic aid to Israel would lead to destruction (as long as aid to Egypt and all the other neighbors is cut at the same time) under normal conditions Israel economy can sustain itself but Israel in a constant war. Cutting aid to Egypt would lead to immediate military alliance of Egypt, Iraq, Syria and few others against Israel. Current military superiority of Israel would not last if all of the citizens would be in the army. re: Ted may be somewhere in the middle He does not say that he feel sorry for Israeli kids been blown up but he is very compassionate toward young suicide bombers so define middle, please -Albert

thanks you for the civility lesson but I do not feel like been civil to a person who screams bloody murder about the destruction of Jenins homes and feel completely indifferent about civilians on the other side. It's not just about civility. On the scale of being a totally devoted supporter of Israel to sworn enemy, Ted may be somewhere in the middle, but attacking him as an enemy just because he agrees only 50% of time may not be the best strategy. Joe, and a strategy for getting to the more moderate Arabs/Muslims in the region who are more reasonable in their views is what the US needs to develop. One of the ways of doing that is using a more a more even approach to both sides by not always making the Palestinians wrong. ted
