There's no easy answer here, but I really don't think letting Israel do what they do without any consequences is helping matters. Whether we like it or not, their actions are feeding the machine of hate creation. I'm not advocating ignoring the entire situation of the middle least, I'm just not convinced our constant bending over for one country is really that productive.

So what was
Jihad Jane's problem and roots? I am thinking F.I.T.H.
If the Israelis didn't give the Palestinians a cause they'd make one up. Ex: The Last Intifada.
