Puleez Bowser,

I know you are well intended, but don't be sucked in to the PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION.

Israel has every right to existence--including legitimitation from the surviving governments of WWII, the United Nations, the US, and the mandate from the Balfour agreement.

This legitimacy was re-affirmed in 1948, 1963, 1967 and almost daily since.

Palestine has no such mandate as a nation. The only claim is adverse possession as a hang over from the Ottoman Empire.

There will be no peace in this area until the Palestinian people repudiate Hammas and Hezzbolah. Abu Nidal may be dead but the PLO carries on the same only under Arafat.

Let the Palestinian people elect a leader and submit to democratic principles instead of mindless intifada and then the world will listen to both sides.

Until then, stand back and hold back the tears for the innocent that a rudderless state stirs.

Publius
