arabs- muslims have loads of votes in u.n. others go along with them. jews, israelis have few friends. more is made of poor suffering palestinians than of others who have much stronger claim for attention of the world.

i am concerned re who is sniper near d.c. and what is his message. americans concerned re killing of a few americans- not of deaths of palestinians, iraqis or afghans. the shootings are circling w.

w does not want to- and doesn't have much support for killing 1,000,000,000 muslims.

who is behind attack on paris mayor and french ship. if many besides u.s. and israel are attacked, will they cringe or join war on terrorism?

I think what unites them is the blind hatred of Jews and their wish to exterminate them.

This is in fact a perfect example of a common French phrase without a precise English equivalent that I can think of offhand, « alliés objectifs » - groups or individuals who normally don't have anything to do with one another, but sharing a common goal.
