    Less than 30 minutes ago you had no clue,
    Remember this?
    And NO you don't need to post twice, but it wouldn't hurt if you had a little beforehand knowledge instead of learning as you go.Unless of course you want to look like a fool ie:xexon.

    i didnt learn anything new... i just read that his parents were christian from wikipedia... i didnt even open the link u posted.. admitting im wrong is a good thing, its shows im not opinionated, so dnt attack me for it... again u didnt teach me anything, i assumed his parents were jewish cuz his grandfather was jewish, but after i read his bio, i realised that his dad turned into christianity... in the end we both agree that judaism is a religion not a race...

    The Bush/Rice Bullshit Squad was big on democracy for the Palestinians until they elected Hamas. For more on the US promotion of democracy in the Mid-East google Operation Ajax.

    Oh really, so those are democratically elected rockets they are firing at Israeli civilians? How does that make it any better.

    That was an acceptable form of protest. They came and made their point. There have been many demonstrations by Jews who don't support Israeli actions. None of them have turned violent.
    Don't think these people support Hamas. They know them for the evil that they are. They don't want to see civilian lives lost and are willing to act to bring about peace. It is an act of charity on their part for the Palestinians.
    This does nothing to prove you point. It proves that there are Jews who love and care for the plight of innocent Palestians.

    First the three amigos visited the Middle East before all this broke out, now they send in their henchman. Yeah I view that as balanced and accurate, as much as the reports of WMD in Iraq were. Funny how McCain made so much out of Biden's comment that Obama would be tested. I think the three amigos insured that he would be.

    They are probably clasping themselves and screaming Neenner neenner!

    It's easy for the Israelis to say all sites targetted were because the other side hides behind innocents. It's hard to support that view when they targetted and killed their own soldiers with friendly fire. Makes one ask just how accurate their intelligence is.

    Is he going to be allowed into Gaza by the Israelis, as a demonstration of balanced coverage? I hope so! Or will he be hosted in Telaviv and simply spew the party crap from a comfortable hotel room? Perhaps embedded with the Israeli civilian killers, complete with flack jacket and Blackwater bodyguards.

    Just who are the Palestinians supposed to elect? The PLO hasn't always been viewed favourably by Israel. Remember how they wouldn't allow Arafat to receive medical care when he was dying? Maybe Joe the Plumber?
