CB,
Even if every last word of this is true to the finest detail and the writer employs no bias whatsoever (and I see plenty) SO WHAT? From the standpoint of the Palestinians it is still a complete disaster and it is an ever growing and expanding disaster, one without end that will likely engulf the whole region eventually. And we, the American taxpayers ARE PAYING FOR IT.

We have spent untold billions, probably trillions if the truth be known in direct payola to Israel, "protection racket" payments to Egypt and others and on endless adventures like the one ongoing in Iraq. What has it cost us in ill will all over the world and other disadvantages in the last 50 years? Just how did these Zionists manage to hijack our political process to serve their selfish ends so completely?

And what do we get for it? Just how do my children benefit from our "special relationship" with Israel? My son may get a draft notice some day on the account of the devils over there.

Are you familiar with Benny Morris's book on the creation of the Israeli state, "The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited" (http://www.amazon.com/Palestinian-Refugee-Problem-Revisited-Cambridge/dp/0521009677/sr=1-2/qid=1167018398/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-0089749-0553529?ie=UTF8&s=books)? He is an Israeli Journalist and historian. The fact that both sides in the debate hate him is enough to warrant giving his research and conclusions consideration.

I'm afraid the leadership on both sides has dreadfully betrayed their own people for quite a spell.
