NeoCon movement grew out of a group of New York Jewish communists in the 1930s who split from the left wing by the 1960s because of cold war differences. They advocate an agressive and interventionist foreign policy, especially in the mid east.

Now it includes radical christians that believe jesus will come back if Iseral secures all the lands to the river jordan. This is why they take a hardline stance on giving land back to palistine.

Nah, we take a hardline stance against Palestine because we've all got this pet peeve about suicide bombers.

Go figure.

The US took a hardline stance on Palestine long before there were any suicide bombers or the concept of international terrorism.

Suicide bombers are terrorists. That has nothing much to do with why the US has been supporting Isreal all these years.

Terrorism today... military threats 30 years ago.

When every Arab state in the region pledges the desruction of Israel - regardless of the weaponry deployed... be it 17 year old kids with TNT or uniformed, Kalashnikov toting lads - who are you gonna side with?
