      frank T why can not u debate on points & facts rather than calling any one who opposes Israeli aggression & oppression an ANTI-SEMITE, i guess your argument can not stand up to factual questioning ? unless you think that occupying,suppressing,oppressing,degrading,humiliating treatment of PALESTINIANS is just? which in fact may be a more principled stance,since we all would know that u r nothing more than a HATE-MONGER!!

      And the anti-Semites spew their poison.

      The biggest problem in the Middle East is Israel

      We should be more concerned about the United States Blind support of Israel!

      Why would the United States expend United States Citizen's Blood and Treasure to defend a county that is in Violation of International Law, Violation of United Nations Resolutions, and Treats the Palestine People inhumanely?

      Here are some of the reasons why Israel should not be on the face of the Map.

      1. Israel was created to pacify the Zionist Terrorist upraising against the British Mandate of Palestine.

      2. The creation of Israel was rammed through the United Nations by the United States to Pacify the Zionists in the United States.

      3. Israel invaded its neighbors in the Middle East and still occupies these ill-gotten gains in violation of International Law and United Nations Resolutions.

      4. Israel threats the Palestine People Inhumanely

      5. Israel refuses to allow the Palestine People to return to their Land, their Homes, and their Livelihood.

      6. Israel has Unregulated Nuclear Weapons which should be enough to stop the United States from being a Sugar Daddy to Israel. Israel has stated that they will take on the whole world if necessary to get what it wants. Is this someone that should have Nuclear Weapons?

      7. Possible Massacres by Israel have not been investigated due to a likely whitewash like the Red Cross got from the Nazis.

      8. Israel kills women and children with secretly provided cluster bombs.

      9. Israel assassinates leaders of other countries and people while they are in prison.

      The United States must become a Nation of Laws ENFORCED equally on all people instead of being a Nation of Hypocrites.

      When the Nazis Terrorists continued to violate International Law after Land was taken from Czechoslovakia and given to them, they were forced to accept unconditional surrender. Nothing less must be accepted from Israel.

      Khalidi is no different from the general run of blame-throwing Palestinian hacks. One of the (many) reasons Palestinians have marched themselves down so many dead ends is the abject failure of their intellectuals, who've been so busy speaking "truth to power" that they've forgotten to speak it to their own people. Khalidi is no exception, and as someone who's fed Palestinian mythology for decades, he's just as thoroughly implicated in the mess as any masked gunman. (His rants are virulently anti-Israel- and anti-American - propaganda.)
