Let's do away with nations and borders types. Oh ok nevermind, utopian horseshit.

That would be racist and anti-Semitic. In any case, it is no longer feasible because the Israeli settlement colonies are all over the West Bank and cannot be rolled back. These colonies, as former president Carter pointed out, are connected by "for-jews-only" roads that Palestinians are not allowed to use or even cross, effectively trapping them in disconnected enclaves (read prisons).

You defend these Israeli policies and accuse anyone who opposes them of being an anti-Semite or a terrorist! What does that make you?

The solution is for Israel to give the Palestinians full citizenship rights including the basic human right to freedom of movement (including the right to use the "for jews-only" roads) and the right to vote. If this makes me an anti-Semite in your eyes then that is your problem!

George Bush is holding our troops hostage in Iraq. The ransom he demands from the American people is enough money to secure the oil fields long enough to divide them among his friends.

Someone better send out for pizza and cigarettes before he kills them all.

the one person who is legally responsible for the lies that (obviously) wag the dog is the man that starts the war. the commander of the forces. who is that again?

one clue: the whole story sounds like a clumsily written cowboy script with soldiers instead of western "icons".

was 43 thinking abramoff was going to produce it and it just happened to fit the pr need of the moment?

bad amurkin!

What did you do to mark the day on Monday? Wire up some Katushyas? Smuggle some guns into Gaza to use on other Palestinians. Set fire to a schwarma stand somewhere? Rape a Jew?

I can cite sources to counter yours. That's neither here nor there. Do you know what a white butterfly is? Look it up. An interesting piece of handiwork from the people you support.

BTW I am first hand familiar with apartheid. I'd love to explore in depth your ignorance of it but this isn't the venue. In either case, you'll get your Judenrein Palestine. That much is for sure. An ethically pure Islamic state cleansed of the 8% of the population it seems, you fear and hate so much. I too will celebrate that day. At least it will bring an end to your clamoring hatred (yeah I'm laughing too).

Oh and for the record you are an antisemitc racist. Straight up 100% textbook edition. Thanks for your implied agreement. I don't take it personally. I just like to point it out.

Lots of hot air, insinuations and attempts to smear (using the tired anti-Semitism charge) any one who criticizes the brutality of Israel toward the Palestinians.

Rather than responding to your silly charges and attempts to change the subject, I have these questions for you:

1) Did Israel ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their towns and villages to make room for European Jews? (hint: most of Israel's founders said this. I have plenty of quotes for you if you are interested)

2) Does Israel impose a total closure (i.e. completely prevent millions of Palestinians from moving between their enclaves which are surrounded by "for-Jews-only" roads) whenever Israelis have a holiday?

You know - even though you may not admit it - that the answer to both questions is yes. If so, I don't think you should be pround of Israel until it faces up to what it did - and still doing - to the Palestinians like South Africa had to do.

It's a tough neighborhood what with 400 million people wanting you dead. That posers like you clap and cheer for dead Jews is neither interesting nor even particularly unique. But again, what did you do? Did you burn some flags? Write in your blog about the evil Yid menace? Did you send money to help the nearly 900 dead Palestinians killed at the hands of OTHER Palestinians this year? Did you write a thank you note to the Hadassah hospital, who's organ transplant unit is run by Palestinian doctors (in Israel). Did you send off a missive to the 1.2 million Israeli Arabs who, unlike all the other Arabs in the mideast, get to vote in open elections?

No of course not. Reality never occurs to racist monsters like you. So blog your blogging entries. Send off a note to Mark Elf in England. I'm sure you'd be best buddies. Call up George Galloway. He like you sees a dark Jewish plot behind everything. You know a friend of mine actually left England to join the fighting in Iraq, FOR THE OTHER SIDE. Haven't heard from them in a number of years. I guess they're dead. Where's your courage, mate? Where's your suicide belt?

Realname, The question is not what I was doing on Israel's independence day. It is rather what Israel was doing!

On the eve of Israel's independence day, the Israeli army killed nine Palestinians, including a 17-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy in raids on Palestinian towns and villages (http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/852315.html). This is after a period of calm and diplomatic activity to re-start the peace process. A hell of a way to celebrate (and sabotage any peace efforts)!

Also, are you aware that Palestinians refer to the same day as the "Catastrophe" because 750,000 of them were ethnically cleansed in 1948 to make room for European Jews in Palestine? These Palestinian refugees and their descendants were never allowed to return in spite of UN resolutions that call for Israel to allow them to do so.

Also, are you aware that Israel imposes a "complete closure" of the big prisons called the West Bank and Gaza (i.e. completely locks the gates on millions of Palestinians)during independence day and other Israeli holidays?

You must be very proud of Israel's Independence Day! (almost as proud as you are of the neocons and their war in Iraq)

With a nod to author John Brunner...

The Bushies and the press have been feeding us this blather and bullshit since 2001. The little peckerwood's handlers know how to pander to the public's lowest common denominator.

We Americans do love our heroes. "You want a hero, get a load of this: An underfed hillbilly fightin' female dishes it out to Saddam's minions, and we've got it on tape!"

The government lies all the time. If they didn't, there'd be rioting in the streets. So grab a cold one and enjoy the show.
