Israel ignores the United Nations and has weapons of mass destruction. So why all the fuss about Iraq?

"As the world debates the merits of another American-led war against Mr. Hussein, the idea
has returned in a new form. Israel has violated countless UN resolutions and amassed
weapons of mass destruction, say those who oppose this war. Why then is Iraq singled out
for yet more punishment while the Israelis get off scot-free?

This question is no longer being asked by Arabs alone. “No war against Iraq, Free
Palestine” has become the slogan of anti-war demonstrators in Europe and America. The two
conflicts have become entwined in the public mind in a way that the West's politicians can
NOT ignore."

Israel is acting arrogantly and irresponsibly and speaking like a superpower because it has
WMD's in their arsenals and know that "THEY" control America.

Most Successful Cabal in History

"Perhaps the most telling decision in the gang was the selection of Paul Wolfowitz over
Richard Haass. "It [was] a fight for the soul of George W. Bush on foreign policy in
general but also Middle East policy specifically," commented AEI's Middle East analyst,
David Wurmser. Haass is a Middle East specialist who served under President Bush as senior
director for Near East and South Asian Affairs on the National Security Council and
currently directs foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institute. He comes from the
branch of the Republican Party most closely identified with President Bush and James Baker,
a wing which opted against continued pursuit of Saddam Hussein's forces in 1991 and which
also clashed with the pro-Israel lobby over loan guarantees in 1992. This side of the
party, more closely tied to big business, and oil companies in particular, has tended to
prefer multilateralism and diplomatic engagement over simple military confrontation. On
Iraq, for example, Haass has argued against arming the Iraqi National Congress for fear
that it would trigger "a region-wide war with Syria, Iran and Turkey." He has also
advocated for a "more nuanced policy with Iran" and taking a firmer stand with Israel.

Wolfowitz, on the other hand, is a preeminent hard-liner from the Reaganite side of the
party which advocates an aggressive US policy of rolling back perceived threats. He is dean
of Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and former
undersecretary of defense. "Wolfowitz is one of the best representatives of the classical
neo-conservative Reagan Republicans. He believes very strongly that power can be used very
effectively to create more power," Wurmser told The Forward of New York. For years
Wolfowitz has been pushing hard to arm the Iraqi National Congress, complaining to the
House International Relations Committee in February 1997: "For all the talk about
supporting the opposition, the United States has yet to deliver a single rifle." More
recently, Wolfowitz has advocated the use of US ground troops to carve out pieces of Iraqi
territory, telling The New Republic in December: "It will take American forces to create a
protected area in which opposition forces can organize and to which units from Saddam's
army can defect." Gen. Anthony Zinni, commander of American forces in the Persian Gulf,
called such plans "a Bay of Goats" scenario."

"Buttressing Wolfowitz on the far right is Richard Perle, another Vulcan cold warrior and a
former assistant Secretary of Defense. Within the Reagan administration, Perle earned the
nickname "The Prince of Darkness" for being so hard-line. He is credited with bringing to
the Pentagon a number of staunchly pro-Israel activists who dramatically increased weapons
sales to Israel. In 1996, Perle gained the distinction of simultaneously advising both the
Dole campaign in the United States and the Netanyahu campaign in Israel. He was the
principal author of "A Clean Break," a widely circulated policy paper published by the
Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (Jerusalem) that advised Netanyahu
to cancel the Oslo accords concluded with the Palestinians. During the recent Camp David
negotiations, Perle came under serious fire for advising the Israeli delegation to prepare
to walk out, lest it become a pawn of Vice President Gore's campaign. Perle's statements
drew a harsh rebuke from the White House, which criticized him for injecting politics into
international diplomacy. The Bush camp quickly disavowed the remarks, claiming that Perle
had been "speaking for himself." For Wolfowitz and Perle, US might is best asserted with an
iron fist, without the velvet glove usually donned by the Baker-Haass wing."

NOT IN OUR NAME : JEWS NOT ZIONISTS

http://www.jewsnotzionists.org

http://www.notinourname.net

It is NEVER too late to make peace. What we are saying is STOP the centuries and millennia of
persecution and persecuting.Please Mr. Zionist.Come down to earth and join the rest of the
Jews and Christians who want to live in peace not rest in it. What you are doing Mr. Zionist
is stepping on the toes of a billion Arabs and Moslems and today ,the world! The world is
saying we can avoid a war and we do not want a war and its not JUST the injustice of
preempting Iraq, its US and our bully foreign policy that needs a major paradigm shift.

It is never too late to make peace Mr. Sharon. In your plight for security and fighting the
Palestinians, you have become the monster you rallied us all to fight in WWII. Can't you see
that? You cant see the forest from the trees! Can't you see that your actions today that our
children are doomed to inherit ,are going to become our worst nightmare? And that old self
fulfilling prophecy of a holy nuclear war and destruction is going to come true?

Twenty years ago when Nostradamus fans would say 'the next world war` is going to start in
the Middle East' 'Nostradamus said so', people would dismiss it as fast as they heard it.
Now Nostradamuss coltrains are coming back to haunt us. Are we going to let them?

Get down off your high horses for crying out loud already. The security situation is all in
the way you treat the Palestinians. Treat them like equal human beings and there will be no
more security situations. Get them out of the refugee camps (ghettos?) that you have
subjected them to for the last fifty years. Stop the ethnic cleansing. Learn to SHARE and
LIVE in peace. Goodness, Hitler never dropped one ton bombs on ghettos. What have you become?

You have proverbially become your worst enemy.

The Arab Leaders on the other hand are just as guilty and should take this as a
wake up call. This is the 21st Century and times are hard. The only reasonable and just thing
for the Arab Multi Billionnares Kings and Princes alike is to share the wealth. Its high time
to turn a new leaf and wake up to the harsh reality that the masses ARE hurting and that if
they do not want a revolution a la Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, they better get off
their high camels too or abdicate.

Abdicate or share equally.

When you come to think about it, the two MAIN ISSUES that Usama Bin laden has , Usama's Beef ,are:

1) Share the wealth of the Gulf States with its rightful owners, the people.

2) Treat the Palestinian like an EQUAL human being and give him his right to return.

Those two demands don't sound too fanatical.

We (ARAMCO) have been making untold billions and maybe trillions over the last 50 years is
our partnership with the Kings we installed and defend to this day.

Well, the party's over.

The people, the Arabs that we see on the street, not the ones skiing in St. Moritz and
swimming in Marbella, are hurting and want their share!Its only Fair. It doesn't mean that we
will be kicked out, it means that we have to take a cut our profits that's all. It's not the
end of the world. We can negotiate something that would still be profitable for all. We don't
have to go around the world imposing OUR will on THEIR land using THEIR oil forever when we have our own vast reserves untapped! We don't want to spend
the rest of our lives going around the middle east kicking sand in the Arabs faces and
watching our backs around the world.

The Palestinian is clearly getting the short end of the stick and has been getting the
short end of the stick for 50 years. The Zionist ethnic cleansing has not stopped. It has
been handed down from Prime Minister to prime minister and Its getting worse. Heaven help us
when Nethanyahu takes over. It's not just ethnic cleansing it's extermination. Human Beings are
being hunted down in Palestine this very minute with Made is USA weapons as we read this
smug in our middle class homes with our Electricity and our Gas and our Water and our
security and our suv's and our TV's and our three square meals a day and our nightcaps and
midnight snacks that we take for granted, but that is something the Palestinians and the
Southern Lebanese have been begging for for the last 50 years! And we refuse to let them.

We call the oppressor " A Man of Peace" while the Palestinian freedomfighter gets a steady
diet of rubber bullets torture prison bulldozing of the shack that he calls a home in a
squallid miserable stinking refugee camp. And to add insult to injury he is called a
terrorist because he is blowing himself up to return to the land that was once his.

How would you feel? Have you ever put yourself in the slippers of the Palestinian living in
a horrible refugee camp from the day you were born with no hope in sight with only Israeli
Sniper scopes in sight and apache helicopters hovering overhead in sight that can KILL ANYONE they feel like ,like wild animals calling them 'suspected' terrorists? The only
occupied territory on the planet in this 21st Century? Gee we don't know why they hate us.

Killing SUSPECTED terrorists? Just WHO is terrorizing whom?

How would you feel if you were sleeping with your wife and kids and someone drops a ONE TON BOMB on that ghetto of a refugee camp that you call a home and kills your entire family and
15 of your neighbours and critically wounds 150 innocent women and children in your godforsaken neighborhood?

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

HOW?

How would you feel if your 12 year old son is killed ,shot in the head, by a Black Hawk
helicopter that sprayed warning shots at the boys throwing stones at the platoon of Israeli
tanks (Made in USA). You just couldn't LOCK HIM UP AT HOME any longer and while he was out
doing what any red blooded  young Palestinian Boy would do, throwing stones at the
OCCUPIERS, doing what almost every single teenager living in your pathetic rundown
bulldozed stinking refugee camp that is being bombarded night and daily,where death
w/martyrdom is almost a welcome relief ??

You are lucky it's happening to him and not to you but it was HIS 12 year old son was murdered by Israeli Zionist using an American weapon paid for by you and me thru our yearly taxes.

HOW does that make you feel?

It is no secret that 100% of the suicide bomber see themselves as martyrs for
the Palestinian cause and 95% of Arabs see the Palestinian suicide bomber as a
martyr for the cause too. They do not see him/her as a terrorist. He/she is a freedomfighter
inflicting terror on the REAL TERRORIST to make him STOP the OCCUPATION terror and TREAT
him like an EQUAL HUMAN BEING. A balance of power. The Israelis have F16's, Tanks, Helicopters,
Nuclear Weapons, WMD's, and the Palestinians have the suicide bomber SHB's.

Once the Occupation Stops we can be sure the Suicide Bombing will Stop. No one wants to die.
But it is easy to die when life is not worth living. You would rather die than live the
rest of your life like your father did in a refugee camp.

It would be easier to comprehend this incomprehensible situation if only we could empathize
with the Palestinians who have lived as refugees for the last 50 years and see what drives
them to blow themselves up for a cause.

Both Israelis and Palestinians have to eventually burry the hatchet and truly forgive and
forget but the ball is in Israel's court. The ball is in the Zionist court. It has always
been in their court and it's time to play together as a team and share the future as one.
The two-state solution is a farce. A band aid solution to a major wound that needed surgery
yesterday. Two-state solution might work and bring peace for the short term but two states
would only breed more hate and intolerance that we will leave behind to our children to
deal with later. We don't want that. We want to deal with it now and as we see it the only
long term solution to the Israel-Palestine problem in a nutshell, is to tear down that wall and SHARE EQUALLY in one
federal state not unlike Switzerland.

Not Israel Not Palestine, Not Yours Not Mine.
