I guess when thinking of "savage" things, the author somehow forgot about the bombs placed in Israeli buses and markets.

I see a Zionist has wormed her way to this outstanding website. Let's get the history straight. Israel was created by world imperialism to protect the profits of the oil companies. Its creation was done by chasing 750,000 Palestinian Arabs off their land, which they owned for centuries. This is no different from the theft of the land by the European colonists from the Native Americans and the theft of the land of Africans by Europeans. Israel is a theocratic state where there is no division of church and state. It is a viciously racist, anti-Arab state and is highly militarized. It exists courtesy $4 billion annually above the table and $4 billion annually below the table from American taxpayers, while all our social services decline. Israel is now busy setting up an apartheid state that must make every racist in the world proud, separating Jewish villages from Arab villages. The Zionists have a history of supporting racism as in their collaboration with the Nazis on the Transfer Agreement, which allowed the Zionists to break the worldwide boycott of Nazi goods. Nationalism and racism are two sides of the same evil coin. This writer comes from a Holocaust family. We know that the future of all humanity lies in the class struggle, in the struggle of the workingclass to defeat capitalism, as epitomized by Israel, as well as the rest of the world. The only way there will be peace in the Middle East is when the workingclass of the Middle East unites to set up a secular, socialist Palestine. The war against the Palestinian people conducted by Israel, with our tax dollars, must be condemned. There is no justification for terrorizing Palestinian people, stealing their land, blowing up their houses, imprisoning, torturing and murdering Palestinian people. This is the stench of capitalism. We need socialism.

If you want to be part of the struggle for a secular Palestine right here at home, consider joining California's Peace & Freedom Party, a socialist electoral party that was on the ballot from 1968 to 1998 and needs just a few more registrations to get back on the ballot for the 2002 election. We came from the peace movement opposing the American war in Vietnam and from the civil rights movements of the 1960s. We have always supported the Palestinian liberation struggle. To join, check "Other" on your voter registration card and write in "Peace & Freedom Party." See our website at http://www.peaceandfreedom.org
