General Fraser is George Bush’s envoy monitoring compliance–non-compliance–with the road map. Yesterday the religiously-crazed Jewish colonists of Hebron rammed the envoy’s convoy with another vehicle. There is just this sketchy report, which I gather comes from Haaretz. Can you imagine how big the headlines would be if Palestinians did this to American officials? Our journalism is broken.
Speaking of Haaretz, here is Bradley Burson reacting to the latest destruction of a Palestinian family:
It is time for us to stop "understanding" why we kill so many Palestinian civilians. It is time for us to stop explaining away the deaths we excuse as the unfortunate and incidental by-product of a terrible war. If it had been only an isolated incident, a tragic aberration, I would have kept my peace, said nothing, just moved on. But the same crime, the same – let’s call it by its real name - atrocity, has been committed time and again, under the same circumstances, for the same reasons, with the same indefensible result.
Meanwhile Jimmy Carter is isolated in our country for describing Israel’s actions as state-sponsored terrorism, while Slate runs a story on a week-long "terror tour," approved by the Israeli government, to show how they are fighting the evil Arabs. This is the essence of the Israel lobby: a newspaper there denounces Israeli atrocities, here we get spoonfed propaganda about the war on terror.

Richard Witty has an answer for you Phil:
"The issue is the common fraudulent means.
Most frauds derive from lack of confidence in some way, as does most polemic. The truth must be told, not the embellishment of it."
You need to go on a terror tour.
Here is the tour:

For those who vehemently object to Carter's use of the term "apartheid," what would you suggest is an appropriate term to apply to what Israel (funded by USA at expense of, e.g., New Orleans) is doing in the West Bank? Please define a privileged protectionism for a few thousand Jews in the West Bank over a separate and unequal existence for over two million Palestinians.
How about isolation? Would that be too harsh? (I got isolation for a day in high school for being late three times in a semester.) Isolation would be too harsh. How about we just call the whole sixty years one big time-out?
Phil, you have a short memory. Three American diplomats were murdered in the Gaza Strip a few years ago. Everyone knows those who did it were IIRC FATAH people, everyone knows who did it, but the Palestinian authorities refused to arrest them. Then, don't forget that Arafat ordered the murder of the two US diplomats in Khartoum, Sudan in 1972. That didn't prevent Bill Clinton from inviting Arafat to the White House more than any other foreign "leader" and from hugging and kissing him.
Knowledge will set you free.

Yep, knowledge will set you free. Look at the US Congress's completely slanted resolution praising the creation of the State Of Israel, as if that had no cost to innocent non-Jews.
Sitting Bull would understand.
Throwing Bull continues as he always does.
So as not to be without context, consider how long it took for
the original Americans to put the natives on plantations, and then, the relative couple days it took for the Israeli's to put the Palestinains on their's.
Goys should look into the guilt complex that allowed this.
The U.S. government's actions towards the Palestinians would have any nation branded as a supporter of terrorism, or a member of the axis of evil if directed towards the U.S. or Israel.
Actually, that's most of the World's opinion. Of course, they are just anti-semites.
