British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has now done what French Prez Sarkozy has done, and Obama and Bush are incapable of doing: demanding an end to the settlements. This is clear evidence, if any more is needed, of the role of the Israel lobby in our politics.

It counts it as a victory when most Jews say that Israel should give up “many” of the settlements. Oh yes, reform Islam. And reform Judaism too!

The numbers that are only slightly or not bothered at all, according to option 2, signal hope.
Has anybody listened to the audio of the May 16th telebriefing, the most interesting questions come at the end.(OK, admittedly I would have asked the same) I understand the name of the "male voice" as "Amy Eden", and that does not make any sense.

England is a country where they apologize to the local rag heads for using a dog in a police awareness add. Churchill and Marlborough are long dead and appeasement and Arabism has always run the show in white hall. But come to think of it appeasement is running the show in Jerusalem these days.
