1. The irony is

That while any thinking person knows that the US-funded atrocities committed by sharon regime gunmen in the glorified military base that many people who live there were really hoping for a nice little Middle Eastern country, the policy of those who benefit from the conflict of shrieking "anti-Semite" at anyone who expresses opposition to the Policy of Starvation or the Torture Lottery does nothing but feed the heads of the ignorant and uninformed that war crimes and child torture is somehow associated with Jews.

And the US media, as I said in another post, is one of the worst offenders.

Israelis, even American Jews, are invariably portrayed on the CrusadeNets as wild-eyed extremists.

When do they ever have Uri Avnery on CNN? When have you ever seen them go to the trailer park and ask the Ethiopian Jews what they think about peace?

When sharon's US-funded death squads go into one of the most crowded residential areas on earth and shoot heavy weaponry into the little houses, does MSNBC have someone from B't Salem on?

No, they have some shrieking old fart with a Russian accent who thinks Ovadia Yusuf is an appeaser.

That's it for the "Israeli point of view."

Today, 100, 000 people in a country with a population of 6 million marched for peace, to end the occupation.

Did I miss the live continuous intensive coverage of that?
