"Also: I'm aware of what a lousy job I've done of monitoring comments, reading them. Very unprofessional. It has in part to do with time/pay. I might be getting paid for some posts before long, who knows..."

Actually Phil it is because you are a wussie and are afraid of reading your comments section. You told us that before, don't you remember?

I really dislike when the term "evil" is used. I hate it when Syria, North Korea, Iran are described as "evil" empire. I hate it when Israeli settlers are described as "evil".

The whole point of Zionist campaigns like the recent one against CNN's Christiane Amanpour is to make sure that ambitious reporters leave juicy stories like this untouched.

But activists in the Palestinian cause have long known about this kind of behavior--

The interesting question is, are the CAMERA and HonestReporting campaigns aimed at keeping the gentile population in the dark, or is it useful idiots like Richard Witty that they're trying to keep on their side?

" None of this would be happening if our country did not sign off, year after year, on this criminal, despicable behavior."

Exactly right.

We have our own "axis of evil" cooperating on this...the Israeli lobby, our congress and the media.

"I hate it when Israeli settlers are described as "evil".

Neither Weiss, nor Margalit, nor Shulman called the Israeli settlers "evil". All of them called Israeli's settlement policy "evil". They are aptly describing evil conduct, not the all-too humans that perpetrate it. Do you object to the word being used to describe abhorrent behavior?

Screw those sheep and goats. They are not God's chosen goats. God made it very clear, he wanted JEWISH sheep and goats on those rocky pastures. Otherwise God wouldn't have written the Bible in such a way that a bunch of opportunistic Zionist gangsters in the 20th century could seize the idea that all that land was due them. God is very careful about that kind of thing; he almost never lets himself be misinterpreted.

And another thing. Why don't Jewish settlers just poison the HUMAN population of this wasteland and get the damned thing over with. Again, God is on our side, that is clearly evident. Otherwise he would have provisioned the tanks and helicopters and fighter jets and nuclear weapons to the other side. Instead, all they've got is dynamite and enlarged bottlerockets, oh and rocks and sticks. Wouldn't God be a little more helpful if he wanted the Arab side to win, think about that.

Therefore, since the legitimacy of the state of Israel is based in impenetrable logic and flawless righteousness, we must not worry about "perceptions in the Arab world." Let them discuss it with God. In fact, with adequate clusterbombings, home demolitions, and assassinations, we can facilitate these very conversations. God won't mind fielding the complaints, since we will be doing his exact will as we construct the Greater Israel that liberal Zionists mostly pretend not to notice (those ungrateful, secular punks).

Evil Hell the settlers were sired by the devil and born of jackals. They killed Jesus and will kill you too. Or so they say.
