Real support for Palestinians would be geared toward their continued existence


That would mean disarmament, massive humanitarian aid to correct the atrocities that the Palestinian government has committed against its own citizens, and equally massive affirmative action and de-Russification to try to get it close to an actual democracy as opposed to the gunrunner paradise and weapons depot it is now.

If Palestine wants to be located in the Middle East, no one who really wants it to have a future is going to encourage it to be a mafia hideout and an international pariah best known for its various means of killing children.

Palestinians' best chance for a future is as a responsible, respectable, law abiding member of the community of nations, with friendly, productive relations with neighbors that are not kept under the iron fists of corrupt terrorists for the convenience of corrupt Islamic government interests.

How does that sound? Your complete contempt for Israel shines through every time you type.

To me, support for Israel means removing many of the settlements and restraining new ones. I await Dean's clarification of what he means by being more even-handed and hope that he doesn't get pulled into supporting Sharon who, if the violence ever stops on the other side, would be gone. The support of Israel, generally, is something I expect from all Democratic candidates. That doesn't have to mean that we are glued to them, but that we are committed to Israel's success, which may mean saying no on some issues. I know you'd like to paint me as a Likudnik, but you know you'd be lying if you did.
