I don't believe this answer is going to satisfy anyone really. That to me is like saying if the US were taken over by Canada that it would be o.k. because Canada is a christian state or that many Americans originated in or migrated to Canada at some point. |

I have found this to be a very good article presenting rebuttals to all of the accusations against Israel that we have heard here in this topic, as well as in the mainstream media.

There is nothing "untenable" about Israel's policy. In fact, it has been an amazingly successful policy since the earliest Zionist activities at the end of the 19th century. As a state, Israel has pulled off bona fide miracles: defeating armies five times the size of its IDF; integrating and rehabilitating a refugee population (c. 750,000 Jews driven from Arab countries between 1949 and 1954) larger than the population of Israel at the time; draining swamps and making the desert bloom; creating the second most successful hi-tech industrial complex in the world (second only to the USA); and creating the only functioning democracy in the entire Middle East, in which the Arab citizens of Israel have five political parties (four more than they can vote for in any Arab state in the entire world) and twelve members of Parliament. |
SHARON FACING THREAT FROM FAR RIGHT
Amid escalating far-right rhetoric branding him a Nazi collaborator and a traitor for his Gaza withdrawal plan, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was asked in the Knesset last week if he wears a flak jacket under his shirt to protect him from assassination.

Should they move from the Gaza? Some are saying that Sharon is a trator because for years he was telling his own people to settle the land in Gaza and now he wants them to move out obviously in preparation for the new Palestine State. I have no opinion about this really, but I wondered what others thought about it.
I think it is really a move to show the world how unreliable and wicked Arafat and the Palestinian Arab muslims really are. The Palestinian and Arab news are already proclaiming that what Sharon has offered is insufficient, and that they will not make peace with Israel.
Although I am Israeli, I do believe that the palestinians are the rightfull owners of the land. So Israelis lived there fivethousand years ago. So what? The Palestinians were there only a hundred years ago. What right did Israel have in husghing them out? It is the holy land of judaism, but so it is theirs.

I do think that Palestine should be independent, get rid of Arafat and have their own land far away from Israel. |

As crazy as it may sound what Stranger wrote it's very true. I deeply believe that both sides love 'blood' they really live, breathe to kill each other, they don't want the peace and they will never get it, I'm not trying to be negative but realistic. Sad but true |
SHARON WINS OK ON GAZA
Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, won what he called the most important vote of his political life on Tuesday night, as the Israeli Parliament approved his plan to remove all Israeli settlements from Gaza.
