Gustave, This article was written by a butterfly chaser. You know the type. The kind of guy who is being robbed at gunpoint and makes the v sign with his left hand and offers his wallet with his right hand while saying, "Of course you can have my wallet and peace be with you - Cmon over one day we'll smoke some pot together". All he does is resurrect the ancient and utterly useless argument about who came first. Both Palestinians and Jews can demonstrate their ancient heritages in the region. Why must we argue about events from hundreds and even thousands of years ago? What is the point?

Gus, one person's opinion is deemed by you as a "Jewish" view? If you really knew anything about Jews, you would realize that you can have 2 Jews in a room debating a topic and they will have 3 opinions and then they will form 3 Temples. I also think that the percentage of Jews who support the war vs. being opposed to the war is pretty similar within statistical standards as the US population in total. That's why I find it so funny and tragic that the haters here and elsewhere will try to say that this is a Jewish view or a Jewish plot or a Jewish conspiracy. There are many Jews who do not support Israel for numerous reasons. There are many Catholics who feel that the Catholic hierarchy needs to be drastically changes along with precepts such as celibacy, etc. Trying to win an argument by finding one Catholic who says the Pope is behind the times does not make that the Catholic view. Opinions are fine, but generalizations that lead to hatred are not.

Protocols of the Elders of Neocons In this weekly telephone report Paul Wolfowitz expressed his anxiety to Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister about the situation in the Middle East. “How are you doing?” asked Wolfowitz. “OK, OK,” answered Sharon, “but you must go to Syria.” Wolfowitz pondered, “this will be tougher to get the president’s okay on.” Sharon could not help but scream, ”He does not know Damascus from Des Moines, Iowa. Move it Paul. You can always tell him that this man of peace thinks it’s kosher,” concluded Sharon with a hysterical laugh. Before the euphoria of the attack on Iraq was over the war hawks in America began shifting their targets toward Syria (as expected). The Israeli gang in the American administration, better known as the neocons, will not tell the American public that Syria was one of the countries that voted for the Security Council Resolution authorizing the new inspection in Iraq thus allowing that vote to be carried out unanimously. No one will speak about Syria’s cooperation in the post-Sept. 11 trauma in arresting suspected terrorists. America’s (or should I say Israel’s) biggest problem with Syria is its support for resistance movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah groups, which are fighting the bloody, horrific and deadly occupation of the war criminal Sharon and his cronies. Interestingly, that the US accusations against Syria should come at this time. Let’s take a look back. At a small village in Palestine exactly 55 years ago, several weeks before the state of Israel was declared, the Irgun and Stern militias stormed the village, home to nearly 600 inhabitants. They killed nearly 100 men, women and children with guns and swords. Several captives were later paraded in Jerusalem before being killed. The leader of the Irgun, Menachem Begin, who went on to become prime minister of Israel later, wrote that the Palestinians, hearing the massacre, were seized with limitless panic and started to flee for their lives. Deir Yassin triggered an exodus that soon emptied the new state of 80 percent of its Arab population. What the administration fails to understand is that it cannot hide or ignore the huge elephant in the middle room, namely Israel. Retired US Gen. Anthony Zinni said “my worst nightmare would be an Al-Jazeera TV picture of American troops in combat fighting Iraqis, at the same time the Israeli defense forces is in the West Bank and Gaza killing Arabs. Furthermore, how can the Bush administration convince either Congress or the Arabs that the US cares about “the territorial integrity of Iraq” when those same members of the administration were signatories to a document in 1996 advising Benjamin Netanyahu of the desirability of dismantling Iraq and any other Arab country that stands in Israel’s way? What these same people were telling Netanyahu then and president now is: You are stronger than all your neighbors, act upon it. Forget the peace process; it does not serve you. Forget international law; lead, and everybody will follow; the rest can go to hell.” Zbigniew Brzezinski correctly pointed out the hypocrisy of the logic. He said, “the European press has commented more widely than US press on the striking similarity between current US policy in the Middle East and the recommendations prepared in 1996 by this same group of admirers of Israel’s Likud Party for the then Prime Minister Netanyahu. The decision of invading Iraq and going after Syria then Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt has been made for the president a long time ago. While the neocons who have tried to legitimize and sugarcoat all their wicked and twisted policies by false accusations and pollgerized evidence, their true intentions remain the protection of Israel. Israel is the core problem of the main conflict in the Middle East. Any unjust and subjective solution to that issue will keep the Middle East a boiling pot with Sharon as its keeper, which is simply a joy to the neocons!
