Back in the nineties palestinian school children threw stones at 60 ton israeli tanks... The israeli state told thier army to catch these kids and use rifle butts and boots to break thier arms... it did so, too dozens of them... and in front of tv news cameras which we in Europe certainly saw... (if you in the US didn't perhaps you might wa nt to ask who is controlling the flow of news and information on which you make your decisions and choices).......that didn't stop the "terrorism".
in the latest intifida it decided first of all to use snipers to kill the stone throwers... dozens of kids were shot dead.. that didn't work......the "gunmen" came out and fought for thier childrens lives .....so the tanks went in and killed scores of them... that didn't work...........so now they used american made Apaches and F16's on policemen................that didn't work.... by now we had people so desperate they would die to hit back so we have suicide bombers. .... and Jenin..
The Israeli Government is the only one in the world that passed a law formaliseing the use of torture in its state apparatus.
The so called "Moderate force" law.
The Israeli people chose as president the man who oversaw the rape and murder of thousands of unarmed women and children and old men at Sabra and Chatila in the eighties... they chose another as minister for (I think Tourism) who described palestinians as "Lice".
And they did this.. because (God help us) the alternatives (Netanyahu, for instance) are even worse.
I regard the current Israeli Cabinet to be a gang of racist criminal thugs engaged on a program of ethnic cleansing restrained only by the need to represent themselves as a civilized democratic nation... if they can't pull that particular trick off, then the billions The US government sends them every year could dry up ( Israel is by far largest recipient of "Aid" from the US, apparently nations such as Malawi don't need it as much Israel)
Israel has taken... at the point of a gun and bombs... 78% of the palestinians historic homeland.... and now want most, if not all, of the rest.
The present leadership of the Israeli nation regard Palestinians as dangerous sub-human vermin.
I regard the Israeli cabinet as the greatest threat to global safty and peace. Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, thier ideas and beliefs, THRIVE because of what Israel is doing.
