You are the mental pygmy for allowing your ridiculous prejudices to blind you to the obvious truth that Oslo led to the deaths of many hundreds of Jews. Oslo in case you have forgotten was the inspiration of Bush 41 and his sidekick James Baker. You also seem to have fogotten that between 1948 and 1967 America didn't lift a finger to help the State of Israel. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if she turned on a dime out of self-interest and because that's what gentiles generally do.

And, by the way, I never did say that America actually wants to kill Jews but I wouldn't expect much else from a man who can't spell "ally" and refuses to capitalize the word "Jew."

Now, now. No need to get nasty about our President or Americans in general. When you calm down, you'll find that we're pretty good-hearted people who generally try and do the right thing.

I don't understand how the US government -- even the State Department -- can believe that it is in our national interest to create a state for the Palestinians when they are demonstrating for Saddam and actually sending busloads of soldiers to fight for Iraq!

IMO, the right course of action is to take the west bank "refugees" who have refused to resettle since Israel was founded, and who live in refugee camps maintained by the UN (and our tax dollars), and to ship 'em off to live with their brethren in the Palestinian kingdom of Jordan. The other non-Israeli residents of the west bank already have Jordanian citizenship, and they should be permitted to stay in the west bank and continue to hold their Jordanian citizenship. However, they should be repatriated to Palestine/Jordan if they commit acts inconsistent with recognition of Israel. Finally, I think that Israel should become a federated country, with the west bank and Gaza being one or two states among six or so -- the galilee, the heartland, the negev, etc.

"It wouldn't surprise me in the least if she turned on a dime out of self-interest and because that's what gentiles generally do."

The bigotry and inaccuracy of this statement is an insult to every "gentile" who fought and/or died battling the Nazis, or to any "gentile" who has an ancestor who did.

If you possess any integrity, a sincere apology is in order.

I can imagine the outcry if someone described hypocritcal self-promotion and said "that's what Jews generally do."

Newbie, don't come here with your insults against gentiles.

There are those of us gentiles here who are more adament advocates for Israel than many liberal Jews.
