Muslim Palis don’t like Christian ones, either.

It is amazing how the world's opinion of Israel has changed since the 1960's. In 1960, the film Exodus (based on the Leon Uris bestseller) was a celebrated film, and everyone loved Ernest Gold's main theme, which was played by all the "pop" orchestras and even turned into a song - "This Land is Mine". Now, all liberals and rest of the world is united against Israel. One would think that after watching Saddam Hussein lob SCUD missiles into Israel during Operation Desert Storm, and after countless acts of terror by Muslims that the world would rally around the one democracy in the middle east while telling the Muslims to pound sand. The world is simply insane, I guess.

these steps were intended to please Netanyahu’s own political base at home.

And who should they have pleased if not his own constituents?

Netanyahu pointed out that in 1929, the Arabs massacred the Jews in Hebron; in 1948, Jews were expelled and murdered in Gush Etzion, Kalya (near the Dead Sea) and Atarot, north of Jerusalem.

obama and John Kerry and the democrat party response:
