I haven't got the resources of CATO, though I do trust the organization.
Get a grip. I have no dislike for the Jewish people.

Yes it is. And it's not something that is good for Palestinians as is obvious by Sharon's response. I find it amazing that you and the other seminar posters seem so unable to recognize that any criticism of Israel's actions in this regard is not the automatic praise for Palestinian actions. Why is that?
More than likely the story is a plant meant to discredit the sailors who had to live through the attack. Bringing up the Liberty was appropriate as it is obvious that Israel ( NSA information from aircraft that recorded the event) knew that they were attacking an American vessel and instigated a campaign of smear against those sailors who wanted the attack to be investigated.
It's similar to what's going on here at FR. Anything critical of Israel is denounced as "anti-Semitic" even if the information itself cannot be refuted.
This is a canard. It is not the first place I run to for information. Can you refute what I have posted or will you continue to discredit yourself by insisting I am an anti-Semite?
Get over it! There are a lot more serious issues here than women being offended by something as minor as this. Looks like you are looking for a reason to hate Bush. Have at it.
By the way, have you noticed all the actions Bush has taken for women. Have you noticed that he has Condi Rice as his top foreign relations expert, Karen Hughes as the top woman in his inner circle. Have you noticed that he alone has been trying to protect the unborn from the women who would fight to kill their own sons and daughters for "choice". Have you noticed anything about Bush or are you merely trying to incite hatred over a stupid feigned insult?
If this is all you have to be insulted by - you should thank the Lord that you are in a country that esteems and protects its women instead of one where they are made to cover their faces, are sexually mutilated as young girls, and are forbidden to get an education or even be seen in public.
Now, who in the world freed these women from such an existence in Afghanistan - George W. Bush. Now try and incite people to hate this man. Makes you look like a selfish, hate-mongering liberal trying again to "pin" something on Bush to get the liberals elected.
This is by your own admission sometime after September 11, 2001.
This speaks volumes as to your motivation for being provocational as regards Israel, and relentlessly attacking same whilst not finding much to fault the Palestinians on.
Terror strikes in Adora: Danielle Shefi will never return to kindergarten
Five-year-old Danielle Shefi usually arrives at her kindergarten in the settlement of Adora, west of Hebron, every morning at seven a.m. But this morning she did not arrive. Rivka Muali, assistant kindergarten teacher, knew that today she would have to tell the young children in her care that Danielle would not be returning. "It's hard to speak of Danielle in the past tense," Rivka told Army Radio.
Danielle was murdered, along with three other Israelis, when at least two terrorists infiltrated into their homes early Saturday morning. Initial investigation indicated that the terrorists cut through the settlement's security fence, and began shooting with M-16 and Kalashnikov rifles at homes in the community. The terrorists, who were wearing IDF uniforms and flak jackets, broke into at least two homes, and fired at residents from close range. Danielle was hiding under her bed, but this didn't protect her from the terrorist's bullets.
Neighbor Anat Harari was standing at her window and speaking to her parents on her cell phone when she was shot. Bleeding profusely, Harari managed to crawl into her bathroom, while her parents offered words of encouragement by phone. Harari said the terrorist fired at her front door but wasn't able to get into the house. "I was alone, and if the terrorist had managed to get in, he would have found me on the bathroom floor and killed me," she said.
One terrorist did manage to enter the nearby home of Katrina (Katya) and Vladimir Greenberg. The terrorist fired at the couple while they were still lying in their bed. Katrina, 45, was killed, and her husband was seriously wounded. Their son, Natan, 15, was also injured. "I went into my brother's bedroom and saw that he was covered with blood," said Ilya Greenberg. "I ran to my parents' room and they were lying there injured. I tried to save my mother, but she was dead."
Residents of Adora, a small community of 50 families, heard the early morning shooting. The community's emergency response team ran in the direction of the gunfire; some of the team members were praying in the synagogue and hurried home first to pick up their guns. When they first saw the terrorists, wearing IDF uniforms, they shouted, "Don't shoot us, we are from the community." Only when one of the men spoke quickly in Arabic was it realized that he was a terrorist.
At this point terrorist gunfire mortally wounded Arik Becker, 21, a resident of the community who had just finished a stint in the reserves during Operation Defensive Shield. Becker's father, Moshe, said his son was about to celebrate his 22nd birthday. "Instead of a birthday cake, we will have a grave for him," he said.
A police patrol unit arrived at the settlement, and opened fire on the terrorists. Community residents and police began to chase after the terrorists. Adora resident Yaakov Katz, 51, was hit during the gunfire exchange and killed. During the battle, the terrorists managed to escape through the break in the security fence. Army units arrived at the scene, and a massive manhunt was launched. Security forces encountered armed terrorists near the village of Tufah and killed one of them.
Danielle wanted to go to synagogue
"Danielle was a smart girl, very sociable, and loved to help her friends," Muali said. "I don't know what else I can say."
Danielle's father, a policeman who serves in the Hebron district, was at Adora's synagogue when the terrorists infiltrated into the community. "Danielle said she wanted to come with me, so I told her to get dressed and come afterwards," Yaakov Shefi said. "A few minutes after we began praying, I heard gunfire."
"I heard gunshots but never dreamed it was an attack. Then I heard bursts of gunfire and became concerned. I raced toward my house and saw two people near the dining room door - they wore army uniforms and flak jackets, and I asked them what had happened. They didn't answer and began shooting at me," he said.
Danielle's mother, Shiri, said she had just finished preparing chocolate milk for her daughter when the terrorist attack began. "When I saw them, I took Danielle and her brothers Eliad, 4, and Uriel, 2, and we hid in the bedroom. I told them to be quiet and to get under the bed, but the terrorist came into the room and began shooting in all directions. I tried to push him out, and after a few seconds he escaped," Shiri recalled.
Uriel was injured in the attack, and Shiri thought he had been killed as well. "They murdered my two children," Shiri said over and over, as she was being treated for her injuries at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. Only later, when Uriel was brought in to his mother's room, did Shiri Shefi realize that only her eldest daughter had been murdered.
Nope, you know the USS Liberity is a big neo-nazi white supremecist "buzz word". Heck, it gets used here in the same way all the time. Look at you, a thread discussing the murder of innocent Israelis, a multitude of your falacious points exposed, along with your posting of a distateful revisionist web site, so what to you do? Drag in the USS Liberty. I know, it's out of your concern for America.
Why would you bring that unpositive info they post over to FreeRepublic and taint this site? Are you trying to further promote their information? Are you a plant? How much other stuff do you "bring over"?
Hmmm...I will remember this as I read your future posts.
Take your meds.
Psychotic, heal thyself.
