Politics

Gaza & the Palestinians
In Aug 2005, Israel left behind an infrastructure upon which Gazans might have built a nation. Instead, in free & fair elections, they overwhelmingly chose to be led by a terrorist organization, dedicated to destroying a neighboring country. Hamas attacks Israeli civilians, as it routinely uses Palestinians as human shields, maximizing casualties by siting rocket launchers, weapons stores & booby traps in and around their businesses, homes, schools, and mosques. All this is politically & theologically justified. Israel has the right & responsibility to defend its people. It must make reasonable efforts to minimize Palestinian casualties, but Hamas & the Palestinians themselves are ultimately responsible for the "martyrdom" they have engineered.
"Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" by Jimmy Carter – Unable to fathom Mr Carter's motivations? See the Carter Center Annual Report 2005-2006 (pg 37), which cites the following donors of more than $1M: His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Fund, The Sultanate of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bakr M BinLadin for the Saudi BinLadin Group, The Saudi Fund for Development, and the Government of the United Arab Emirates. And there is more . . .
