The Israelis did it which is why all the jews stayed home that day. Is there truth to the notion that many arabs hate us because we support Israel. Well maybe. After all they have blaming all of their problems since world war II on the jews. They have refused to solve the problem of the palastinians for over 50 years. They turned down an offer that would have given them 95% of what they wanted in 2000. The nations of the mideast have funded palastinian terrorism/resistance but have not funded schools hosptials etc. We have supported a democratic country in a region where democracy othewise does not exist. > > And is she entitled to have that opinion, and to express it? Of course she is entitled. And I am enttiled to denounce her statements as the worst kind of anti-semitism. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
