On the Night of Spetember 11th, 3 Palestinian villiges where invaded at
night, 30 people killed and dozens injured all with American weapons and TAX
money, It only took some serious phone calls to Sharon and Gang to cool it
down....

So, What do you mean?!! The Palestinians have creative places, films, arts
and so on but they have brutal Military occupation and a raciest state
called Israel backed by US Tax money to deal with, they have apaches and
F-16 bombing there towns every night and every small town is cut from the
outside world with big holes on the roads and military forces, how creative
can you get? Its very simple Israel needs to Pull out of the west bank, east
Jerusalem and Gaza in accordance with UN resolutions, Illegal settlements
needs to go, very simple, but as long as there is no one to stop them the
bloodshed will keep going and extremism will grow on both sides.
