U.S. funds horror
A Baltimore Sun news story by Peter Hermann reported in the Journal Star said, "`The terrorists were shooting from heavy machine guns and they were throwing grenades,' an army spokeswoman ... said. `After a while, the soldiers got to be in serious jeopardy.'"
The story went on to explain: "Thursday's battle comes after a series of Israeli army raids in the Gaza Strip -- home to 1.2 million Palestinians and 7,000 Jewish settlers -- in which many civilians were killed. In July an F-16 warplane dropped a 1-ton bomb on an apartment in Gaza City to kill the head of the militant wing of the Hamas group, but also killed 15 bystanders, nine of them children."
The army spokeswoman explained: "Our forces try to avoid hurting the innocents, and of course we express regret if we have." Most of the injured were children near a United Nations school that was hit by gunfire. No Israeli soldiers nor civilians were injured during the fierce gunbattle.
How much more do we need to understand that the Israeli army and government, supported by $5billion a year in aid, both military and economic from the United States, is intent on euthanizing all Palestinians, who are called terrorists for fighting back to keep the tiny scraps of their own country not colonized by Israel's settlements, bypass roads and gigantic concrete fences to keep Palestinians out of Israel?
How much longer can we citizens of the United States play passive victims of our right-wing foreign policy which supports only Israel in the Mideast -- and Saudi Arabia with its huge oil reserves -- pretending we know nothing about the massive imbalance of power in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
The root cause of misery and war in the Middle East is the Israeli brutal domination and now ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Palestinians. The United States supports and funds this horror. For how long and at what cost?

Generic bubble-headed feminazi.
It's hard for me to imagine that this woman has met too many of my co-religionists.
That said, a few years ago, I passed a group of Nebraska fans in full regalia, in NYC for a game at the Meadowlands. When I shouted "GO HUSKERS!", they just glowed. It was very touching, and it's hard to imagine such decent folks allowing such hatred to fester in their community. Oh well.
