The two wars on terror are the same.
Not really. Al Qaeda has embraced the Palestinian rejectionist viewpoint as one of its causes. This does not mean that all Palestinians should be grouped with them, any more than all affirmative action opponents should be grouped with the Klan. The justice of a cause should not be defined by the worst of its proponents.

Supporters of the hard core Israeli right try to blur these lines in order to promote their cause. It doesn't fly in mainstream Israeli circles (even Sharon has backed down from it), and its becoming less and less accepted around here.

Yes, really...

All you have to do is read the sermons coming out of the mosques, the state run newspapers and the fatwas from the many terror organizations to understand that there is only one war on terror being fought on many fronts.

The Klan has nothing to do with it. This is dilution of the facts.

And by no means would I ever think that Palestinian terror is a just cause. No more than I would think 9/11 was a just cause.
