<<...there are far more jews who disagree with sharons statement and many israelis who disagree with Perle...>> You right there...I have many Jewish friends around this country and most do NOT agree with the NeoCON warhawk Richard Perle or with Mr. Sharon....In fact, many of them are against going to war with Iraq at this time...They feel it may destabilize the Middle East and make it MORE DANGEROUS for Israel...Of course if The United States spends hundreds of billions on a war with Iraq, an occupation and a rebuilding effort then we would have much less money to spend on homeland security and on aid to countries throughout The Middle East (including Israel).

The coincidence, of course, is that Sharon and Perle would put out the same list within a day of each other. And wrt your original rant, I dont believe for a minute any longer that "until yesterday, you didnt know Perle was Jewish." I will stop here or else i will get booted. I hope Ken gets to interpet your post. Bye. what I actually posted was that I didn't know Perle was Jewish until I looked up the Wattenberg interview referenced in #reply-18475078 . Upon further research, of course, it turns out that Perle's Israeli connections go much deeper, e.g. salon.com . I didn't know about that angle till Monday, and I wouldn't particularly have cared to go looking if there didn't seem to be a local and global movement to slur critics of Perle as "anti-Semitic". All I really knew about Perle was his "Prince of Darkness" reputation from the Reagan era, which I assumed had nothing in particular to do with Israel. You make now continue with your slur campaign, as you see fit. I'm sure LindyBill and Nadine will approve, anyway, along with Brooks and probably many others in the neocon firmament.
