And the Israeli fascists propagandists throughout the land stealing and wall building and claimed continue to claim to be Liberal Democrat and brethern to western (so-called) christians.

Thoreau rejected religious beliefs and I'm totally sure the Israelis wouldn't have considered large parts of the great western conversation as carried out by Thoreau and the likes of Newton, Kant, Russell and Rand.

Zionist inspired Israelis are a bunch of closed-minded bible-bashing hypocrite liars. They have very little in common with the two great strands of reason and justice entwined throughout Western Liberal Democratic thought.

I find something incongruous about “anarchists” having a “committee”.

Mind you, “Palestinian violence" represents a basic tautology.

Palestinians have consistently brought the troubles they complain about down on their own heads.

Palestinians were exiled from Jordan by King Hussein because of their continued acts of terrorism.

Palestinians survive, by means of terror and intimidation, in Lebanon, from where they also reign rockets down onto Israeli soil.

The father of (what passes for the current version of ) the Palestinian state, Arafat, was a procrastinator, liar, whiner and terror–master to his band of thugs, who now, since his death are the fomenters of cross-Palestinian blood shed.

There is nothing over the past 40 years or so of my watching, which suggests anyone will benefit from offering charitable support or political sympathy or benefit to a Palestinian.

All that is likely to happen is a letter bomb or worse for your trouble from a competing Palestinian band of thugs or terror group.

Since before the aircraft hijackings of the 1970s and the Munich Olympic terror attack, the Palestinians have been a lost cause.

The only way to bring them to any peaceful outcome will be to ensure they do not congregate in groups of more than three.

The only resolution to the Palestinian problem will be when they have all been wiped off the face of their earth, either by their own maniacal suicide-bombing attempts or by denying their Palestinian background and assimilating into a positive, progressive and peaceful community, instead of retaining the violent and negative culture they have carved out for themselves and which they now carry as a yoke about their necks.

Yes, a good article.
Anyone other than the rabid right can understand the situation of Palestinians and judge for themselves just what the Zionists have created during the 60 years of their illegal encroachment and theft of land for their expanding settlements.
As more facts emerge with the aid of internet technology, the world will realise that the sympathy the jewish survivors of the holocaust once relied on has been squandered with the brutality they continue to mete out to Palestinians.
The operation 'cast lead' has vividly illustrated the overkill used by Israel in response to the short range amateur rocket launches into israeli illegal settlements.
Until more people force western governments to review their support for Israel, civil disobedience must remain a valid tactic.
Viva Palestina

*Col Rouge*
" ... The only resolution to the Palestinian problem will be when they have all been wiped off the face of their earth ... "

Whilst not condoning in any shape or form what *Col* has said I do believe that his view is representative and in some ways he, unwittingly or otherwise, alerts us to the "highly strained" reality of the Middle Eastern situation currently.

I've just watched an Al-Jazeera interview here with 3 parties plus the interviewer.

The English representative and also the International Lawyer, amongst other things, strongly expressed the view that *Ehud Barak* should be arrested and tried for war crimes on the grounds that neither he nor anyone else is above the law.

Further, that notwithstanding the deplorable activities of militant Palestinians terrorizing and otherwise attempting to kill Israelis and Jews, that collective punishment and war crimes is also abhorrent and not to be tolerated, pursuant to the post WWII principles.

The 3rd participant was an Israeli Professor from Haifa.

He expressed the view that the self professed desire of some Palestinians to wholesale slaughter Jews and wipe the Israeli/Jewish state off the map classifies them as other (could that be interpreted as dehumanization?) and that they are no longer worthy of being afforded any "consideration" whatsoever.

Further, he went on to add that if the Palestinians begin to "terrorize" Israel again then what happened in the last Gaza war will pale in comparison with what will happen next.

So, coming back to *Col* I am reminded of the ritual of the Tibetan Buddhists when one monk offers himSelf up for temporary "Spiritual Inhabitation" by the so-called forces of darkness, that communion may be had with a view to gaining some insight into the wiles of the "Enemy."

;-)

So, whacha reckon *Col,* should the Israelis throw all the Pali's over the wall, especially from East Jerusalem, send the Gazan's to the desert, raze the place to the ground, extend the wall and take out the Iranian nuke material production facilities? Maybe a significant scorched earth border between the north and HezboAllah? Hmmm?
