I just can't work up a lot of sympathy for the Palestinians these days, especially after seeing the reaction in Nablus and elsewhere to 911. It left a coldness inside.

Your reaction was formed through exposure 24/7 to our controlled news media. It is an entirely one sided version of events.

One would think that American Christians would show a little sympathy to their Christian brothers and sisters in Israel/Palestine, but apparently not. "Judeo-Christian" Zionism trumps everything.

Also our tax dollars are going to fund and arm the state which is raining bombs, guided missiles, and bullets on women and children, and justifying it in the name of these religious myths. Small wonder if these Palestinians don't care for us.

Be that as it may, it would not matter to me who was killing who, or what demonic purposes these religious myths were being put to, if I was not being forced to support these myths with my tax dollars, and if these myths were not being used to drag us into an inevitable series of wars for an empire which the American people do not want to have, paid for with the lives of their sons.

It just isn't something you should want, even if you despise every Palestian that ever drew breath.

It figures you're a Dem.
