    Fluff crap

    This article is so full of crap - where to begin?

    In the end, when Hamas is beaten and the evidence is released, cowards like this writer will melt away back to mediocre anonymity.

    BTW, when compared to the money the US has thrown at the Arabs, the support of Israel is the cost of a Mars bar. Don't forget all the oil money that supports "progressive sheikh society".

    And the Arabs have been a huge success at State building, no?

    Dismantling Israel is latter day Nazis wet dream - but that's all it is.
