This is one of the best I've found: cactus48.com ********************* Re: Look the Israeli's tried to setlle with the oslo accord's and Yasser Fathead didnt want to give up anything. Neither you nor anyone in the general public has been ever informed what the actual terms and condition were that the Palestinians objected to at Oslo and again at Camp David. You are basing your conclusion on conjecture about the purported fairness of the terms being offered. My extensive reading on the matter has me reaching the conclusion that the Israelis, with the complicit acquiescence of the U.S. were attempting to impose draconian and devastating terms and conditions on the Palestinians. You will recall that the Israeli occupation of the West Bank is a clear violation of international law. That Israel has been sanctioned repeatedly by the U.N. for these violations and that what the Israelis were surreptitiously attempting to do was to force to Palestinians to acquiesce to insufferable terms. Of which you have no knowledge because this information has been suppressed. ************************* The most important thing to realize about the current Israeli policy of territorial imperialism and colonialism is that it has been consistent throughout the history of the Zionist movement. Israel has been engaged in an implacable assault on the indigenous populations in the territories it illegally occupies. Here's a flavor for this heinous disregard for human rights and fairness: Expansionism - continued In Israeli Prime Minister Moshe Sharatt's personal diaries, there is an excerpt from May of 1955 in which he quotes Moshe Dayan as follows: "[Israel] must see the sword as the main, if not the only, instrument with which to keep its morale high and to retain its moral tension. Toward this end it may, no - it must - invent dangers, and to do this it must adopt the method of provocation-and-revenge...And above all - let us hope for a new war with the Arab countries, so that we may finally get rid of our troubles and acquire our space." Quoted in Livia Rokach, "Israel's Sacred Terrorism." Source: cactus48.com ******************** Israel is engage in reckless game of rampage. Not only are they rabidly attacking the nearly defenseless Palestinians, the Israelis have no compunction about biting the hand that feeds them. The Israelis deliberate assault on the USS Liberty in 1967, and the willful propaganda campaign they engage in to attempt to cover up their naked aggression is a remarkable tale: Message 17989723 Supporting Israel is supporting naked, immoral and indefensible aggression.
