AS, Hardliners sure haven't gotten us anywhere yet. Same thing is true in Israel. Sharon's fascist bullying has created a security fiasco for Israel. He's an utter failure. At everything except skimming billions of dollars out of the U.S. taxpayer by surreptitious and scurrilous "loan guarantees" that will be just like all the phony loan guarantees in the past. Called in in the darkness of night so that the American people never learn how much of a disgusting parasite Israel is. SHARON BLASTED: Message 19504781

ISRAELI RIGHT WINGERS ARE EVIL The settlers are insane criminals: 13Nov03-Courtney Kealy-Hillside Heartbreak Palestinian Harvest Protected by Rabbis, Attacked by Jewish Settlers By Courtney Kealy A I N A B B U S, West Bank, Nov. 13 — It was meant to be a fruitful day. Rabbis for Human Rights had organized police protection and a group of determined volunteers to hike up a West Bank hillside and help local Palestinians harvest their olives. Radical Jewish settlers claim the the hilltops above the Arab village of Ain Abbus as their own. Palestinians say the settlers have resorted to both threats and violence to prevent them from picking their olives. The settlers say God has called on them to settle there. Ironically, it's another Jewish group — Rabbis for Human Rights — that often intervenes to help the Palestinians. ... Arriving at the top of the hillside on this day, the rabbis and their group of volunteers were greeted by a shocking, unexpected scene. Hundreds of olive trees had been hacked apart. There was nothing left to pick. All of Fawzi Houssein's trees had been destroyed. "Look at this!" he cried. "This is all my land. It's the end of the world." While Israeli police took a statement from Houssein, a settler the rabbis suspected of being one of last week's attackers came down to watch. Members of the rabbis' group, which believes in nonviolent confrontation, walked away from the scene. "The Torah that I read from says do not trespass, it says do not cut down the fruit trees," said the director of the group, Rabbi Arik Ascherman. "Specifically, we're taught not to act with violence." Full Story: abcnews.go.com.
