Another dumb Infidel Israeli Jew that doesn't seem to realize that it is the Islamic religion that is the major hindrance to all peace efforts.
And Islam is not going to go way.- Tom

The world loves victims. Specifically, third world victims. I always thought Israel made a mistake by not tying the Palestinian issue to the 800,000 Jews who were kicked out of the Arab world in 1948. By not doing that we made it easy for the Palestinians to portray us as foreign interlopers instead of indigenous
