there are undercurrents of hate against many groups in the US. I am not insulted when one points out that fact as I have nothing to do with such hatred

yes, I do believe there are those that are glad in Europe as well as in America when a Jewish child/person is killed - not to believe that is not to see reality


Cause I mistranslated "undercurrent".
I'm sorry ,please accept my apologies.

In the ISRAELI investigation that followed the massacre it was readily accepted by both those responsible in the IDF and the politicians involved that it was obvious to all that this would happen.

And if it wasn't for the Hague, were would Milosevic be right now?

Now go read a book or something

I believe that peace in the middle east will come some day, but it will take a very long time (if ever) before muslims accept Israel and the Jews. But it is likely to not happen at all.

To many in Europe there seems to be little difference between the Palestinian Terror Groups - Hamas et al - and the current Israeli Government.

So sad.

Are you talking of Israel's wish to eradicate the Palestinian people or the Palestinians wish to eradicate the State of Israel?

If Israel truly had such a wish there would be no Palestinians left on the earth.

Well, here's your source:
Professor Department of Political Science, Purdue University, Ph.D. Princeton 1971, and author of many publications dealing with Middle Eastern security issues.


One presumes that the Professor has a name and that the article quoted was perhaps part of a paper? If so plse furnish the details.

Saying it was written means nothing, if you wish to have an intelligent discussion behave in an intelligent fashion rather than being so defensive.

The "data" is meaningless to anyone with any form of tertiary education - it agrees with your narrow minded view of world events and therefore to you is "accurate"

It's just the ravings of a right wing loony that another little right wing loony has copy and pasted.

Personal attack instead of debate. Wow. So professional.  Don't bother to debate the topic of an author of several Mid East books, just attack the messenger. hehe. Much easier to respond that way.

anyone sympathizing with those monsters should go to Israel and ride a bus for a year.


We'll see who they end up cheering for.

The only thing that will spark the emergence of a "moderate Palestinian Party" is the destruction of Israel.

Well said

Hamas targets civilian targets (buses, etc) and the world seems to sigh and accept another pointless bombing.  Israel pops a leader of Hamas with a very precise missile strike that manages to take a few innocents with it too.  Yet, the outrage is on Israel's actions, not hamas

Its a tiring cycle to watch on the news.  Funny how many of the fellow Arab states declare the Palestinians need their own state, yet wont volunteer the turf.  Its nice to rally for your friends, yet quite different if you'd have to host them.
