"They were not the cause of anti-Semitism, they were not killing Jews, " Well, I'm sure this is true of most - however their spiritual leader Haj Amin el Husseini, certainly did spend the WWII years in Berlin encouraging the Nazis to exterminate the Jews and recruiting Balkan Muslims to the Nazi cause. Was he a representative of his people? His nephew, Yasser Arafat, went on to head Fatah. There certainly was violence against Jews in Palestine - I posted to you earlier of the ancient Hebron Jewish community which was wiped out and driven out in 1929. "What is a man like that doing running Israel?" In reference to Sharon, he is dismantling Jewish settlements in the Gaza strip and pulling troops out of Gaza currently. "I do believe there is complete justification for the terror attacks on Israel." You actually support blownig up women and children in markets and buses and restaurants as long as they're Jews in Israel? That is shocking. "And I totally support the settlers' being driven from their homes. " Then you should be happy Sharon is doing that to some. But what about the Israelis not in "settlements", in say Tel Aviv, or Jerusalem, or Haifa? "Are you aware of the vast number of human rights violations being committed on an ongoing basis by the Israels? " I'm aware there are many such charges. I believe the vast majority to be either false or ignoring the circumstances - for example, those condemning construction of the wall. ".. like Israeli soldiers mowing down Palestinian children and teenagers who are just playing in fields near their homes. The Palestinians were a peaceful people; the terrorism inflicted on them by the Zionists is what led to this chain of events. I think it's important to keep that clear. " I think you are buying into propaganda too gullibly. I wonder if you would have approved of the British ban on Jewish emigration into Palestine in the years leading up to and during the Holocaust - a time when they were barred by virtually all the world's countries from escaping the Nazis (google up the Evian conference for more info) - IOW would it have been better for the Israelis to have been wiped out rather than occupy Arab land?
