Please forward widely. West Bank and Gaza. Occupied since the 1967 war.
This may be offtopic in some email lists, but I believe the USA is at risk right now.

The rest of the world seems to get this. But not the USA. The hatred engendered by almost 40 years of Arab land being occupied by Isarel is being increased by the unconditional US support for Israel no matter what Israel does, no matter how many civilians that Israel kills in Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza, etc.. Nothing threatens the USA more than this increasing hatred. 9/11 may just be the tip of the iceberg concerning future terrorism against the USA. It is NOT in the interest of the USA to remain anywhere in the Middle East. Israel has nukes and does not need the USA to defend itself. It only needs US help
to continue occupation.
Almost 40 years of bloody Israeli occupation paid for with much US help and arms.

Past Israeli "peace" proposals offer to remove many of the Israeli settlements on stolen West-Bank land only after decades. In January 2003 Secretary of State Colin Powell said in Switzerland that Israel must offer Palestinians more than a "phony state diced into a thousand different pieces."

-----Excerpt from July 24, 2006 Canadian newspaper article begins:---------

Until now, in spite of the daily rocket attacks on Israel, no Israeli civilians had been killed. The rockets fired by Hamas were simply an irritant, which gave Israel an excuse to torment the Palestinians. Every day Palestinians were killed, but everything was par for the course until Israeli soldiers were captured and Israeli civilians were killed. The world never questions the misery and death of Palestinians.
Are we surprised Hamas abducted a soldier after the killing of an innocent family having a picnic on a beach in Gaza? And then came overkill, or maybe a better word is barbarism, from Israel. The Israelis killed an innocent family; Hamas captured a soldier. Dont forget the sequence. No one batted an eyelash when Israeli razed Gaza in retaliation for a captured soldier.
Did the Israelis expect to be able to kill Palestinians at will forever? Is it any wonder that finally the unjust nature of the Arab-Israeli situation is echoing around the globe, through the efforts of ordinary individuals?
The Israeli excursion into Lebanon is, according to the media, in retaliation for the abduction of more Israeli soldiers. This time Hezbollah are the culprits. They attacked Haifa. Wait a minute. Does no one remember why Haifa was attacked? It was after Israeli warplanes savagely bombarded Lebanon for five days leaving 130 civilians dead.
Hezbollah says it captured the soldiers in order to secure the release of Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails. Whatever the reason, they captured soldiers. Soldiers are fair game, Yet now, dead Lebanese women and children and even Canadians on holiday are casualties of war. Their lives are empty of meaning.
How is it possible we know the names of every Israeli soldier and the names of their brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles and ignore the Lebanese?
Contrary to what the G8 and the press feed us, the actual timeline of events indicates Israel attacked first and also committed the first acts of terrorism. As well as killing the family of seven on the beach on June 9, Israel clearly killed 11 Palestinians, including nine civilians, in Gaza on June 13 using a missile strike on a van.
Israelis argue there were terrorists in the van and that the civilians just happened to be in the way. If Israel can use that argument, Hamas can claim that its later June 25 killing of two Israeli soldiers and the capturing of another was an attack on legitimate targets in retaliation for the first two Israeli actions.

Excerpt from this page:
The United Nations Security Council (in Resolution 446, Resolution 465 and Resolution 484, among others), the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention[4], and the International Committee of the Red Cross[5], have each resolved that the territories discussed in this article are occupied and that the Fourth Geneva Convention provisions regarding occupied territories apply. In its decision on the separation barrier, the International
Court of Justice ruled that the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem are occupied.[6]

Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36:
"The most recent evidence comes from autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S. custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke [spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support at 63 percent. A month after Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the revelations."
