    425 palestinians
    13 israeli arabs

    80 israeli jews


    225 years ago we fought for our own independence from an occupying army.

    the more headlines i see, on a daily basis of "Israel pounds..."; "Israeli gunships attack...."; "Israeli soldiers fire on...."

    the more I am for an all out war.

    I don't play into the ideas of zionism.

    This conflict has surpassed religious idealism, and is simply about one group of people dominating another.

    It seems the Bush administration has not stood behind Israel as much as the Clinton administration did, and Powell has been more openly critical of Israel lately. I hope this trend continues.

    The death toll speaks for itself.

    "the more I am for an all out war."

    in all out war, israel will crush the palestinians.

    unless the arab world assists.

    US backing of the palestinian cause is almost necessary for this to happen.

    yeah i realize that. but i never underestimate the the native people in a situation like that. Vietnam, Chechnya are good examples.

    The arab world is pretty well armed. Oil money buys a lot of toys. Iraq would undoubtedly dive into the hoo-ha.

    iraq is crippled beyond effectiveness.

    We make sure of that on a daily basis.

    As long as no one wants to piss off the multinationals, we're probably safe.

    If some is crazy enough to try that, well, good luck fighting off the death soldier cyborg battalions and the sludge bombs. Then they get their McDonald's taken away, then their Gaps and Starbucks and Pizza Huts until they capitulate.

    yeah, like, war and stuff.


    puff, puff.


    what's the score?
