U.S. cites China, Israel, Saudi Arabia for poor human rights

Sharon should call on Bush to exercise "restraint?"

LOL! He better hurry up. The Indians did so already.

[Sabertooth]

How about telling the Pali's to stop "occupying" Isreali land. What about a little clarity here?

Hypothetically: how about telling the Jordanian Hashemites to stop occupying the real "palestinian homeland?"

I don't actually support doing this now, but neither should we lend an ounce of credibility to the lying, false claims of the genocidal "palestinians." That's the problem I have with the current comments by Bush, Rice, and Powell.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Israel gets it again. Gotta love our State Department, they really know how to stab an ally.

PC nonsense from idiot bureaucrats.

[bribriagain]

Do you support rewarding terrorism?

No. Answer my question.

That's what our policy regarding Israeli settlements does.

Then I assume you are at odds with our country. "Do you support the occupation of the true "palestinian homeland?" That's what our policy regarding the peace process does."

OK, you've established yourself as opposing the US. Sad. Here's another question: is Yasser Arafat a palestinian?

Answer: Why should I care?

[bribriagain]

"I don't support a 'Palestinian state'"

Sorry, that's not my question. Again, do you support US foreign policy?

[Slings and Arrows]

Israel gets it again. Gotta love our State Department, they really know how to stab an ally.

The State Department is Saudi-occupied territory.

[bribriagain]

"On this matter, of course. Now for some questions of your own... Does "palestine" exist? Where? Why? Is it occupied? By whom?"

Guess you don't understand: Are you with the US or against the US? Pretty straight forward question. BTW, I asked you first.

[WarSlut]

If there's a point you'd like to make, spit it out.

[bribriagain]

"State your position. Then I will respond when I come back later."

I support US foreign policy with regard to the ME. You?

[joesnuffy]

Israel?....toro caca...
this is pandering to the arab muslims again...imo
getting ready to force Israel to appease terrorists by cutting up her already diminished land and giving it to those who blow up their own children to kills others children..

If anyone is guilty of human rights abuse its the so called palestinians imo

"terrorism flourishes in free societies when it is tolerated and fostered"

The idea of blaming external forces for causing terrorism is to not hold people accountable for their actions and excuse them..it also is statist as it puts the onus on the state to take care of the problem by changing society...as if this will make the problem go away..

Terrorists kill because it is what they do...and what is in their nature to do..

They refuse to live in peace...they are envious and angry which is also in their nature and believe they have the right to steal kill and rape...this I know because the Koran tells me so..

Appeasment will not work...ask the Israelis instead of calling them human rights abusers
what will work...and then help them...had they not blown up that Iraqi nuke plant..and with Billy boy in the white house OK City wouldnt have been blown up with a fertilizer bomb or the WTC with a hijacked commerical air liner..
It is stupid to appease them what is needed is to hammer them imo

[yonif]

Wow. I don't recall "Palestinians" being a nation. Typical CNN bias.

[WarSlut]

I support US foreign policy with regard to the ME. You?

So you support a Palestinian State.

Me? I only support a Palestinian State under the condition that it be invaded and obliterated the moment it's created.

[bribriagain]

"I don't expect this to happen in my lifetime."

While it may not happen in your lifetime, maybe it will happen in your childrens. May G-d happen if not.

[bribriagain]

"The State Department is Saudi-occupied territory."

Are you calling George Bush a liar? That's his policy.

[Sabertooth]

Why should I care?

Because it's important; because you give every indication of not knowing the History of the region.

Arafat is an Egyptian, So were his parents.

There is no such thing as a "palestinian people," it is a fiction concocted by Arab terrorists, and bought by far too much of the world at large.

Even so, a "palestinian" homeland was established in 1922 by the League of Nations, when the Jews gave up 78% of the land granted to them by the Balfour Declaration in response to Arab atrocities, in return for peace. The Arabs are never held to account where Israel is concerned. They can attack and murder, and then try again.

I don't support a US foreign policy that incessantly rewards "palestinian" terror by putting pressure on Israel to give up so much as a pebble of their land.

It would be sad, truly, if I did.

Guess you don't understand: Are you with the US or against the US? Pretty straight forward question. BTW, I asked you first.

You're question isn't straightforward, it's simplistic.

I support the War on Terror. We'll win the war, but if, as with the last Gulf War, we once again punish Israel in our victory, then we will most surely lose the peace.
