AddReply(308519,"so, what is Hamas/Gaza?","yvonne","cary","05/19/08","Has Israel refused to recognize Hamas as a valid government? Of course, then Israel can also NOT DECLARE WAR on something they do not acknowledge. The same applies to Israel and the Arabs. Arabs refuse to recognize Israel, therefore, Israel does not exist (in their books). Hence any agreement, negotiation is null and void, but, hey if the U.S. or Israel want to hand over money, services, weapons, ammunition, a whole army, they will take it, of course. They probably say Allah provided them with it ;)! Different mindsets, and you have to know them. I spoke to a gypsy, half a century ago, actually longer than that, and he told me that gypsies do not acknowledge that people can own the earth. So, if you leave your clothes out on the clothesline, or anything else in your yard, they will *find it* and it is theirs. Of course, the *regular* European residents in that area saw things differently. You just have to know things!  Let us find out what we are talking about first, shall we?");

Eventually, they expose their true nature.\n\nSame thing goes for Israel\'s peace partners -- the Arabs.  They all \'want\' peace, but what they actually want is \'pieces\' of the Land of Israel.\n\nWithout being judgmental, one has to see into the motives of people\'s actions.  It doesn\'t take long for fakes to expose themselves.");
AddReply(308355,"The Corrupt Crew & Their Supporters","Adina Kutnicki","","05/19/08","The most cogent point discussed in this article posits - what type of society elevates leaders like Olmert and his crew.\n\nA normal society would be very hard pressed to point to ONE position taken by Israel\'s leadership over the years which can be termed moral, non self serving, and beneficial to the people they serve.\n\nAnd this is precisely the point. Israel\'s leaders (for many and varied reasons) have NO national allegiance, (not to be confused with their allegiance to corrupt party lists & assorted syncophants) other than to their hedonistic lifestyles. \n\nThis is why their obsessive reliance on spin is their life source. When one is a hedonist, one does not have a moral compass. Enter the spin doctors.\n\nLeaders bereft of any national conscience perenially require large contingents of wordsmiths to explain their non policies/strategies (in a word, their gobblygook). This takes alot of time to do. By the time their PR machine winds down from explaining away one disaster after another, there is NO time left to deal with the state of the nation.\n\nThe very fact that there are still even a fraction of a percent of citizens who still support such a crew bespeaks of problems which are insidiously more serious that of the corrupt crew running the country into national calamity..\n\n ");
