    Jonathon,

    I wouldn't give the so called Palestinians anything. I think Israel has given enough back to a race who can only see their death. As I stated in a previous post, the Palestinians have not earned the right to statehood since they are unable to throw off the shackles of ignorance and barbarianism.

    I'm certainly glad the US is supporting you in this fight and am constantly preplexed at Europes appeasement toward the islamic terrorists and the states that sponsor them. I'm worried about our next administrations approach to the middle east and the strength to our one ally, Israel.
