AMERICA WAKE UP!! This single bit of news can be a measuring tape against which all politicians, news outlets and forums can be measured as to who is who. Who is on the zionist payroll and who is not. This is an outrage against the people of the US, why bother voting. So whoever is friends with the US and support US policies are really supporting Israel even if they are Muslims like Pakistan, etc. What a joke. This is the biggest revelation coming out of this war.

Once upon a time there was a concerted effort to take back the Holy Land. Went on for a considerable chunk of time, cost oodles of lives and served no real clear function since the folks who controlled the place ended up...you got it. Still controlling it.

When does the mandate expire on this Holocaust ? The victims have now become the tormentors. Olmert is nothing but a Nazi as is Barak, Livni and of course Ariel Sharon who openly declared in October 2006, “Don’t worry about the Americans we have them in our pocket.”

When are we going to rid ourselves of this artificial and troublesome country, called Israel, and throw it back on the Eurpeans who lit the fuse of its illegal existence in the first place.
