No one seem to be paying much attention to what Israel is doing in Gaza and elsewhere among the Palestinains.

1. Wait until Bush/Cheney start using these WMDs on the American

...people.

2. These people, on both sides,

are hopelessly bent on killing each other. I gave up caring one way or the other a long time ago. And apparently it's also too much to ask that they do it with their own money, not mine.

5. well then I'm also an anti christian, anti muslim,

the list goes on and on. If I don't care to see my tax dollars used for religious wars is a bad thing then so be it. That word gets less meaningful by the day as it is thrown at anyone who disagrees with Israel. I have no belief in any invisible cloud dweller so I guess that makes me an equal opportunity anti___________. (fill in the blank)

6. Lucky for us we can borrow $trillions to develop weapons to kill third-

world peoples with startling efficiency.

7. It sounds like an "assassination weapon."

Yitzhak Ben-Israel, major-general in the Israel air force, formerly head of the army's weapons-development programme, was also quoted in Haaretz as telling the Italian journalists: "One of the ideas {behind the weapon} is to allow those targeted to be hit without causing damage to bystanders or other persons."

Just another advance in mankind's quest for happy, fun wars where only bad guys get hurt.

8. US "dime" bombs are humanitarian. Cynicism.

They restrict their killing to a smaller circumference. Therefore, fewer innocent civilians are murdered. Allegedly, from what I understand, Israel has gotten the kill ratio of innocent adults/children to Hamas militants below 2. Not verified yet who is and who is not a militant. In the past, overall Palestinian kill ratios have been as high as 8, but usually around 4-5. This is progress through science brought to you by American arms manufacturers and our government.

It is also a relatively calm period. Aljazeera reported that only eight Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and Gaza yesterday. No Israelis died or have for some weeks. Since Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the State Department, you would think that the administration would be trumpting these kills as a successful part of the war on terrorism.
