On the issue of the water : http://www.worldtrek.org/odyssey/mideast/012900/012900teamwater.html
As for the uss liberty : http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/0398/9803026.html Can I ask an ignorant question from a middle ground?? How do you know which sources are accurate and which are not. Obviously each side will try to present its view in the best light, but how do we know which one to believe or start our "education" with. Just as an aside though, there is an article on the number of deaths of each side...Accurate or not it is interesting : http://www.ict.org.il/articles/articledet.cfm?articleid=440 Thanks, Kunal Bhatia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 1 July 2003 11:57 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Hudna? > Did you know that Israel allots 85% of the water resources for Jews, and > the remaining 15% is divided among all Palestinians in the territories?

I'd like to see proof of this as Israel (under signed agreement) pumps a ton of water to Jordan even during droughts. > Did you know that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that > refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and bars international > inspections from its sites? Did you know that Israel is the only country in the middle east that was attacked as it was being created by all of its neighbors and has had to defend itself alone multiple times. That has accepted EVERY Jew expelled from Arab countries since its creation (where the Arabs have yet to accept a single Palestinian). In all that time it has never launched a nuke at anyone. I'd say that is both deterance and restraint. > > Did you know that Israel blew up an American diplomatic facility in Egypt > and attacked a US warship in international waters (the USS Liberty), killing > 33 and wounding 177 American sailors and the US did nothing about it? Did you know that the investigation into that by congress showed it to be a tragic error and not a premeditated act. I love how people come forward with this one without looking up the congressional record. Instead they point to racist sites with their 'slant' on the story (no, you didn't point to a site). > > One of the justifications that shrub gave for the Iraqi war was Iraq's defiance of a UN Security Resolution, yet Israel stands in defiance of 69 United Nations Security Council Resolutions. And that does not count the ones that the US used their veto power on. Did you know that just about every other week there's a new resolution that unfairly condems Israel while ignoring the same exact events everywhere else. Did you know that Syria has been occupying Lebanon for the last 20 years. Did you know that despite being an indiginous and set people, the Kurds are still denied a state and they've wanted one longer than there ever was a 'Palestinan' (a rather recient term). The UN is a joke. They have no power and no moral grounds. > > All I ask is that those who would wish to have an opinion on this matter at least have an educated one. Educated. How about this. Since the Hudna started, these are the attacks that have taken place: 29 JUNE 29 June - IDF troops during the evening hours began a troop withdrawal from Beit Hanoun which was completed later in the night. **Gunfire directed at soldiers in Rafiach. N/I (20:09) **Firebomb hurled at soldiers in Balata. N/I (20:32) **Israelis injured in stone-throwing attacks in Jerusalem's Old City. (21;43) **Soldier lightly wounded in a Hevron shooting attack in the Givat **HaAvot area. (22;11) **Bomb detonated against an IDF vehicle near Sanur. N/I (23:11) 30 JUNE **Anti-tank fire near N'vei Dekalim (03:33) **Soldiers targeted with a firebomb near Kedumim (05:20) **Jeep involved in an accident after foreign object was hurled at it (05:44) **Explosives belt found Tul Karem (07:07) **Fatal shooting attack near Yabed in the Shomron. A foreign laborer was killed. (13:34) **Gunfire directed at soldiers near Netzarim. (15:57) **Gunfire from Kalkilye directed at seamline road workers. (16;15) **Soldiers targeted in 2 bomb attacks in Schweika (21:48) **Firebomb attack in Tzur Hadassah (22:07) Since the PA accepted the roadmap over 30 people have been killed by terrorists. Since the PA accepted the roadmap they have yet to arrest a single terrorist or confiscate a single weapon. I can easily go on but the facts seem to be in my favor here. Israel is trying to exist and the Arabs are trying to destroy it, even in 'peace'. And I woun't even go into things like weapons shipments paid for by Saudies and passed through by Egyptians to terrorists. That's just to easy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
