GAZA CITY, Gaza, Oct 19, 2001 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Israeli troops on Saturday entered the West Bank town of Tulkarem An Qalqilya, which had been under control of the Palestinian Authority. Israeli troops now occupy the towns of Jenin, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour, and have seized additional positions once controlled by the PA.

How many wars do you think we can fight at once?
The World vs. Taliban is much more attractive than US/Israel vs. Mid East.
I have no problem with assasination justice, but the land grabbing is embarassing.
I Love Lucy, CBS.
What the heck are you talking about?
I can't believe it took you 56 posts to make your Joooooos= Nazis comment. Fred...you're slipping!
BTW, are you and LLAN-DUESSANT sharing the same cubicle of hate?
I think maybe you're partially right. I DO think you have irrational anti-Jewish beliefs BUT I have put you in a box. When I make statements, I know full well that I am painting you with a brush. Without knowing you, I can only go on what you post. Yes, like the Muslims who say "I condemn terrorism, BUT..." you make statements that show your "evenhandedness" but I just don't buy it. The sources you give and the generalizations you make just don't allow for nuanced understandings of your views. You've spewed some awfully vile stuff on this thread, and it makes it difficult to swallow your more moderate statements.
More importantly, you aren't using Occam's Razor. I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT about the lack of movies about Communist atrocities and the overexposure of Holocaust movies. However, you attribute it incorrectly, I believe.
I think the reason there's a dearth of anti-Communist films is that the strength of the Left's cultural poisoning. These leftists are sometimes Jews, but often are WASPs, blacks, etc. You should be well aware of Gramsci's call to change the culture to make it ripe for revolution. The Leftists simply followed his model and infiltrated and have mainstreamed many of their views, while hiding the ugly truth behind Communism.
I actually am working(slowly) on getting involved in film, and maybe I can help change that. Also, there have been some anti-Communist films, but they've usually been more of the "independent" variety.
Dumb and blind.
So glad to know that FreeRepublic is accessible to the retarded and disabled.
At the turn of the century, publications such as Harper's Weekly and the North American Review reflected the anti-semitism of the day when they printed articles accusing Jews of being non-patriotic, of not serving in the armed forces during the Civil War and of being peddlers, who followed the Army for the purpose of making a profit off the soldiers.
Mark Twain even joined the libel, saying that Jews did not participate in the Civil War.
Statements such as these led to the formation of the Hebrew Union Veterans Association of Civil War Veterans March 15, 1896. Seventy-eight Jewish veterans who were tired of hearing anti-Semitic rhetoric formed the organization, which today is known as the Jewish War Veterans of the USA, said Robert M. Zweiman, JWV's national centennial chairman.
Their first order of business was to prove that people of the Jewish faith were patriotic and did go to battle to defend the values and principles on which America was founded, he said.
After examining irrefutable facts such as six Jewish soldiers receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor, Mark Twain retracted his previous remarks and apologized, Zweiman said. In fact, historian and archivist Sandy Cohen said, the best figure on participation in the war is around 12,000, including between 3 and 4,000 in the Confederate Army. This was about a tenth of the Jewish population in America.
* Adm. Hyman Rickover, the father of the modern Navy;
* Maj. Gen. Julius Ochs Adler, who served in both world wars and later as the general manager of The New York Times;
* Sgt. Maj. Lawrence Freedman, Army special forces. The first American killed in Somalia in 1993, he was nicknamed ``Super Jew'';
* Judith Resnick, mission specialist on the Challenger space shuttle, which exploded during its 1986 launch.
Also buried there was a key non-Jewish influence on the fighting forces that led to the Israel Defense Force. Maj. Gen. Orde Charles Wingate, of the British Army, trained early Jewish settlers in Palestine in defensive battle techniques. Although British, he was killed on a U.S. plane in Burma and buried with the 12 others who were on board the place.
* The highest-ranking Jew buried at Arlington is Adm. Jeremy Michael Boorda, chief of naval operations, who killed himself in 1996 amid revelations that he had worn medals to which he was not entitled. While his headstone bears a Jewish star, a miniature Christmas tree decorated his grave in December.
It used to baffle me when the "anti-semites" would say that Jews don't serve. My father, both uncles, and my step-father all served. Not to mention numerous other Jews I've known. I would have given anything to, but I had a physical disability that prevented me from doing so.
