US Envoy Says Anti-US And Anti-Israeli Terrorism Are Different
War On Terror Won't Protect Jewish State

Jerusalem, Occupied Palestine -- State Department spokesman Richard
Boucher yesterday stated that "terrorism
against America" and "terrorism against Israel" are different things, and
that
the US will not list anti-Israeli groups among those it is targeting in
its "war on terrorism."
Stating that terrorists who are attacking America are "seeking to destroy
it",
while those attacking Israel are "seeking to resolve political issues",
Boucher
went on to say: "Essentially, there are, on some planes, two different
things.
One is that there are violent people trying to destroy societies, ours,
many
others in the world. The world recognizes that and we are going to stop
those
people. On the other hand, there are issues and violence and political
issues
that need to be resolved in the Middle East, Israelis and Palestinians."
The Zionist Organization of America immediately launched a press released
denouncing the statement, and calling on its members to protest the
statement --
and, to make them seem more numerous than they are, to open multiple
email
accounts under multiple screen names and send a separate email from each
account.
The statement and the controversy show the continuing growth of divide
between
America's Zionist lobby and the actual positions of the US government.
