7. anti-semite?
why do you say that? :shrug:

surely you can distinguish between criticism of the Israeli government, and the Jewish people. One need not put them together in every utterance.

I guess when they have elections in Israel, the candidates can just follow this example and accuse their opponents of anti-semitism?

3. Did anyone see the anti-semitic column on the
GOPUSA site? Can't believe the GOP would endorse a site like that.

4. Wean Them Rapidly
I have to agree. Cut them off, not instantly, but over the course of less than 2 years at most. In the end not matter how you slice it most of this countrys real problems overseas stems from our undieing support for Israel.

This is not a matter of love, hatred, or even indifference to the Jewish people and their homeland. This is simply a matter of our nation following the best course for its own interest.

5. Easy
Make all further aid contingent upon Israel compliance with international law. That means withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and West Bank (including East Jerusalem), getting rid of the settlements, no more assassinations, no more collective punishments, no more torture, no more political prisoners, and no more apartheid wall.

8. You suspend all monies to them until a Palestinian State is made
And then start freeing it up as conditions stabilize between the two nations.

Nothing short of a free, secure and independent Palestinian State will ever change a damn thing over there. It's that simple, and I support it.

Long live the Two States.
