#2 Fire all of them. The State Department is full of sellouts and treason.

#3 There are no Palestinian terrorists because there are no Palestinians. The term "Palestine" was used by Roman Imperialists to name a province that covers much of the region on both sides of the Jordan River. It was revived by British imperialists to describe the Holy lands, in which members of the 3 Abrahamic faiths resided. Ergo: Jewish and Christians were both classified as "Palestinians." Arab residents are certainly a settler class, unrelated to Assyrian, Hebrew or Phoenician peoples. The above were all settlers, with Hebrews migrating from the upper region of Mesopotamia. Arabs - which should not include Egyptians, Berbers or any of the current Arab speakers of the Levant - migrated with the jihad conquests. The actual homeland of Arab speakers, on the West Bank or in Israel, is the Red Sea gulf region, to Yemen.

By the way, the only means against Arab terror that have ever worked is: disproportionate retaliation, targeted killings and punitive destruction of family homes of terrorists. It is State Department pressure that prevents further Israeli use of those tactics. I thought that the Vietnam experience would anathemize unwinnable-war.

#5 AT8133, can you point to a definitive source. I beat liberals up with this all the time, but I would like to really nail down the facts.

Thanks!

#6 I don't know Anginens Threreng8133's source, Fur Trapper, but a good broad history reference is the British historian Paul Johnson's A History of the Jews (ISBN # 0-06-015698-8). He also wrote a really good history of Christianity, although doesn't spend much time on Orthodox Christianity. You also might check out the Israeli embassy's website, although I'm sure your opponants will claim their information is fatally biased. ;-) Good luck!

#7 First we won't classify the Taliban as terrorists (the protectors of Osama Bin Laden). Now we won't call the Pallies terrorists because a reward isn't offered? Somebody at State is trying mightily hard not to offend; that's a PC maneuver straight out of the EU and UN handbooks. Sounds like we're taking marching orders from others in this WoT.

Refusing to identify the enemies of America and our allies puts more American lives in danger. Hope somebody is documenting this stupidity and treachery.

#9 I label the state department as terrorist sympathizers. Freeze their accounts and jail them just like the islamic charities.

#11 Fur Trapper:
Sorry for the delayed response. Although Jewish histories rely mostly on the Old Testament, the fact that that document sources Jewish culture in Mesopotamia and accurately names the old cities of the region, leads me to believe that accounts of a massive population shift to the Levant did occur. ("Hebrew" means: he who crossed the river) The Assyrian shift towards the Mediterannean is known through tablet sources. There are references to Roman and Byzantine trade contacts with what is known as the "Hijaz" region of what is now Saudi Arabia, although most contacts were with Bedouin Arabs who encroached on the Empire. Muhammad, the self-proclaimed "prophet", was an Arab trader with the Byzantines, whose contacts with Christians and Jews furnished his concoction of the Koran fiction. Arabs have never had a homeland in the Levant.

A "Palestinian" is a UN invention, propped by the West's refusal to properly put down Arab belligerence.
