Who runs the country?

Amira Hass, Haaretz, October 20:

"The IDF's Central Command has decided to cancel the military escort for Palestinian children on their way to school in the south of Hebron, Haaretz has learned.

"The military escort, which was introduced about a year ago, protected the children from repeated attacks by Israeli settlers near the Maon and Havat Maon settlements.

"The escort was cancelled yesterday following the murder Sunday of three young settlers from the region at the Gush Katif intersection, because settlers began to gather in groups on the roads and the IDF is reluctant to clash with them.

"Palestinian and diplomatic sources told Haaretz that they feared revenge acts in the area following the murder."

Hebron personifies the immorality of the occupation. Hundreds of Messianic Jews living amongst thousands of Palestinians. Arabs are treated like third-class citizens. And Jews openly advocate ethnic cleansing.

Israel is serious about peace.

What an incredibly stupid statement. In a democratic and free society, all sorts of ideas are discussed.

Censorship is the hallmark of the addamos and other supporters of fascism.

Hello all,

I just thought I'd share this pearl for some light entertainment. It had me in stitches when I read it.

If there were any lingering doubts about just how dumb George W. Bush really is, let's revisit what he had to say in a White House speech given on July 2nd and broadcast live on C-Span. In this speech he mainly just talked with his supporters, instead of reading his lines from cue cards.

"It's good to have a wallet. Wallets is good. If you have a house you can put your wallet in your house. If you have a job you can come home from your job to your house. Americans love houses. Americans love freedom and they will not stand for terrorists stealing their wallets. The America I know will not let al-Qaeda in their houses. Americans will not stand for yellow cake from Niger in their wallets. Today Americans can be proud that Saddam does not have a job and does not have a wallet. God Bless America."
–George W. Bush

Not sure if the guy speaking was George Bush or Forrest Gump.

Do you have video footage of this speech/statement that GWB apparently made?

If there are any lingering doubts to the absolute worthlessness of an addamo post, they have been laid to rest.

Why not confuse them? Many supporters of palestinian suicide bombers state that Israel has commited genocide, indeed a palestinian holocaust, which incidently reduced the Palestinian population from 3 million to 9 million. (Reduced? Surely soming in my math is wrong)

Actually, under International agreements, the Palestinians have commited many acts of genocide.
