You mean you don't know.
Ok, Iwill tell you.
Because in American politics there are 3 ethnic groups that can bring down an administration and they are known as the three I's
Ireland
Italy
Israel
Notice Lebanon does not start with the letter I.
To put it simply, Bush, or whoever for that matter in the USA congress is pandering to the powerful Israeli lobby. Go against them and you will feel their very real rath.
Simple.
I heard a statistic once on Politically incorrect that a Palestinian spokeswoman threw out to which Bill Maher had no response and it speaks volumes.
For every Israeli killed by Palestinian suicide bombers, or in any other fashion for that matter, Israeli forces have killed 9 Palestinians.
Sobering.
So, you can blah blah blah about how the Palestinians are murderous bastards blowing up discos and the rest, the fact of the matter is that way more Palestinians have paid the price than have ever Israelis. Whether it's a suicide bomber on a bus in Tel Aviv, or a missile launched at a refugee camp, you are just as dead. I fail to see the distinction in the manner in which one person or the other is killed in the name of turf. (Which is what all this boils down to.)
I guess you can decide for yourself who has gotten the short end of the stick.
