Bush 'tilt' to Israel provokes Arab world

The Bush administration is increasingly blaming the Palestinians alone for the Middle East violence

[DonQ]

The Arabs were accusing and insulting the US under Clinton's administration, so for them to continue doing so under Bush (who actually seems more pro-Israel than Clinton) is not a surprise. What would be a disappointment would be Bush knuckling under to the Arabs, who seem to think that a combination of insults and threats is an appropriate way of persuading the US.

Hisbolah (sp) is not only a state supported terrorist group but they have seats on Parliament in Palestine. The "Army of God" is in league with the legislative Government. How can such a country be considered working towards peace? Palestinian politicians must bend to the religous fervency of fanatics. Israel seems less bound to fringe groups. If there is any leaning to the Israeli side, it is because they have stayed autonamous from terrorist groups.

[No More Gore!!!]

The Bush administration is being completely unfair here. How could they possibly expect Arafat to keep his word? Don't they know that the Clinton administration only made him say the words. Actions were unnecessary. Even worse, how could Bush abandon the tried and true policy of moral equivalence. After all, the death of a baby in a pizza parlor is no worse than the death of someone carrying a bomb that will kill more children. < /sartcasm >< /sarcasm > [Just had to make sure that the sarcasm was actually turned off. ;-)]
