Christian arabs butcher Islamic Arabs and the Muslem whine that the Jews did it.

never a Palestinian The memoir 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' refers to the Palestinians. The leaders of the Saudi Arab rebellion sought the Palestinians' advice. Denying Palestinian national identity is the same psychic act as denying the Holocaust, and must be condemned as racist.

To the victors go the spoils and the re-writing of history books. Suppressing thought about the Naqba will come in very handy when Palestine has finally been completely cleansed.

Morris's racist passages are no different than standard NAZI tracts of that period. Does he really need to have someone point that out to him? Why isn't he attacked more as a run-of-the-mill racist? And Yale U Press publishes him… Obviously we have double standards operating here.

The proposal of this law furthers the idea of the necessity of Israel as a Jewish state, which is clearly going to be a plank in the two-state solution. The new Ambassador's writings further this concept. It's part of the hard-line strategy that will be brought to bear in the peace process.

Because you invaded their lands. They didn't invade 'your' lands. You have no lands.

You can be blind or chose to be deaf, but 700,000 people existed and lived in the land that you chose to ignore. If they didn't exist, then all US govt, including Bush, many Israeli govts, including the last one under Livni, have been pushing the idea of a PALESTINIAN state. Were they seditious. I find your comment about availability of health services, pensions, child allowances to be ridiculous, it implies that you can BUY any people if you offer these services. I guess you're rich since you think money can buy even national identity. open your eyes, and your ears.

I would prefer an unbiased discussion. What about the Hebron Massacre, Hadassah Massacre, Kfar Etzion, Sbarro's Massacre, the Passover Massacre. The list of Arabs slaughtering Jews is very long, but totally ignored by the "progressives". Jewish blood is cheap to them. Phil and his crew also ignore 800,000 Jews expelled with only the clothes on their backs, from Arab countries. When are they going to be reimbursed? Why are the "Palestinians" the only group in the world that the descendants of refugees are considered refugees?

I agree with jacobwolf. We need to toss out the word "anti-semitism" whenever facts get in the way otherwise how would we survive, keep our continuity? The word is as precious to us as our welfare dole from the Americans and Germans in each generation.
