The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Something Stinks Again

    The fact remains that you are wrong. Germany did not set up a "colony" in Palestine for all Jews to go to as you claim. As I said, Germany was British controlled. To the contrary, in 1933, through the Haavara Agreement, as it is properly called, a small number of Jews (that is all that could go) could leave Germany for Palestine IF THEY LEFT VIRTUALLY ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS in Germany. What a colony! What a nice people those Nazis were! Your point is well made! .
