Re: Americans Support Cutting Aid to Israel

[Anthony Nelson-Smith]

It's encouraging to learn that some 'ordinary' US Americans are at least
criticising Sharon's Israel, if not offering much support to the
Palestinians.  The Brits (and probably a majority in much of Europe
generally) are much more supportive of the Palestinians:  we deplore the
bombing of civilians, but at least understand the desperation of the people
behind it.  TV news a couple of days ago interviewed a group of Russian jews
who had arrived in Israel six weeks previously.  An elderly man proclaimed
that, if he could, he would join the army to protect 'his' land - from Arabs
who were born there, but are now herded into a refugee camp.  By this
measure, the French resistance fighters during WW2 were 'terrorists'?
