OneFatAmerican - don't waste your time opening up a debate with the likes of those commenting... Don't you know they are they always right (!!!), with unbelievably and unquestionably accurate knowledge (!!!) on this entire issue.

I'm embarrassed to be a Westerner right now, with the tirade of anti-palestinian nonsense allowed on this website at a time when people are losing their lives. You're all so so brave behind your PC's aren't you!

Everyone is allowed their view, but I find it quite amusing that PM particularly makes a point from a hugely patronising and condascending starting point. I would even doubt PM is a muslim - you ought to be deported from this Country and made to live amongst those you hold so close to your heart... the Zionists.

And BritExpat - I take exception AND offence at your evident praying at the alter of the evil, murdering Tzipi Livni. Though I suspect your sources of information on the entire conflict are pretty right-wing anyway...

Thank the good lord there are many many americans and brits on here NOT supporting your/PM et.al's warped views - so the Palestinians and indeed the Arabs reading this can be assured we're not all butt-kissing the Neo-cons and Zionists....
