Yes it is interesting how liberals just sort of clam up when the subject of Israel-Palestine comes up.
Just thought I would add to this after reading Pat's remarks
Again they are the products of lack of information.
There is no comparing the Israeli and Palestinian situation. The Israelis, who left the Gaza, were paid handsomely, up to a quarter of amillion each. Most were re-settled in the West Bank. The week of the "pullout",
Isral re-settled 8000 Israelis on the West Bank. In the last five years, the IDF has demolished no less than 4000 homes. The Palestinains have demolished none of the Israelis. The death toll in the Intifada is 6 Palestinians to 1 Israeli. The PA employess in the West Bank have not
been paid since February of this year. They have been subject to mass arrest. In the Gaza, Israeli policies are genocidal, including mass starvation at this point.
Amy Goodman is slick, but actually covers up most of the Israeli atrocities while pretending to cover the story evenhandedly.
Israeli crimes against the Palestinians are too numerous to itemize here but to get an introducion, read my books
