'I suppose that Golda Meir might say that since the Palestinians aren't really a people why bother to count them at all?'

Golda's not around no more, so perhaps SecState Clinton can propose an enlightened American-style compromise. Quoting from the original U.S. constitution:

'Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned ... by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.' [i.e., Negro slaves were counted as three-fifths of a white person.]

Of course, it's gonna take some hard bargaining, since zionist doctrine holds that a Palestinian is only equal to one hundredth of a Jew in value.

Hillary: 'I see your hundredth, and raise you a hundredth.'

Livni: 'NO-O-O-O-O-O-O .... too much!'

Hillary: 'Give me a hundredth!'

Livni: 'Ninety-five!'

Hillary: 'I won't take under.'

Livni: 'Ninety-five.'

Hillary: 'But the bus's a wonder ... it ROLLS ... like thunder.'

Oops, sorry. Listening to 'Live at Leeds' and typing at the same time. My bad.

This reminds me of Bolshevik juggling of census figures for the Ukraine after the terror famine. I'm pretty sure that I read about it in The Harvest of Sorrow.

Phil previously wrote of reading some of the work of the great man Israel Shahak.Anyone who is intrested in Jewish history,Israel,Orthodox Judaism or Jewish influence on American culture and foreign policy should immediately pick up one or more of his inexpensive books at Amazon.You won't find his work at your local book store because of the thought police.He survived the camps in WWII and went to Israel,surved in the IDF and went on to get his PhD.He was a great scholar and human rights activist.I promise that if you read some of his work he will profoundly impact your thinking.You can also access much of his work on the internet.

Most people can't locate Israel on a map anyway because it's just a sliver of land. Trying to find Gaza on a map is like trying to find Monaco on a map.
