"At a joint press conference Thursday with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, British Prime Minister Tony Blair refrained from criticizing Israel's policy of "targeted killings," saying that he could "understand the pressures prime minister Sharon faces and that of the Israeli people who see their people killed every day."
Bulldozing apartments, homes and businesses by Sharon's IDF is far from a peaceful gesture. The crack within Israel by Jews of various political persuasions is widening. If Sharon does not soon moderate his agressive policies, he will be history. He will be thrown out by his own people, those Israelis who are sick of the war mode that Israel has been in since Sharon took office.
As I remember recent events, it was the Palestinians who initiated the lastest "Intifada" and who have perpetuated it by refusing to honor any of the cease-fires that have been negotiated since.
Do you honsetly believe that the Israelis are going to sit back and allow the Palestinians to kill them with drive-by shootings, suicide bombs, mortars, etc. without shooting back?
You seem to have forgotten the bomb set in the traffic circle that blew up two traffic cops two days before Sharons pre authorized visit to the Temple mount, or the Jewish Police officer shot in the head at point blank range by his Palestinian "partner" the day before the visit. Somehow dead Jews make no impression on you, where kids throwing rocks does.
Collective memory loss is a thing you share with Clinton...
Repeatedly firing machine guns at passing cars from those buildings is a bit far from a peaceful gesture too. But then, in your view of the world, that is not worth even mentioning is it? Multiple Jewish dead dont compare to a Palestinian building.
Jews get gunned down every day over here. Mortars fly into housing areas almost every night, and bombs go off in cities all the time. Where are your complaints about terrorism? Strangely lacking. Better to knock a house down with a bulldozer than blow it up with a 500lb airdrop. You might just take out half a block of 'innocent' neighbors.
But if it really pisses you off, I guess you should suggest they do it your way. Obviously life means nothing to you, compared to land.
Indeed, how DARE a JEW or a CHRISTIAN, defile a piece of property holy to three religions by WALKING on the GROUND! Surely enough reason to start blowing up shopping malls and pizza parlors!. Besides Israeli pizza is not very good compared to Round Table. Mom's and Kids should DIE for that I am sure. Boy, you sure are on solid ground here.
Dan set up the image!
Nice decor.
And Blair's taking a Concorde to Washington!!!
The plane or Abdullah?
