Who is it who wants to wipe Israel from the map?<br><br><br>1.Withdraw from Gaza but not back to the recognised lines - that is to say Israel is in breach of international law, even by the US, in that it should be at the borders as drawn up in 1967!! That is to say that all Israel did in withdrawing from Gaza is to withdraw from land that it has zero claim to!! Absoluely none.<br><br>2.Who is it that kills thousands of palestinians? That question works both ways. The problem lies with journalists who claim that all Israelis who die at the hand of palestinians die as a result of terrorism whereas any palestinians who die at the hands Israelis are said to die in nondescript clashes.<br><br>3.That was the claim by the Iranian president. An absolutely abhorrent statement and there is no excuse for it. To deny the palestinans a claim to their own state, within borders internationally recognised by the UN from 1967 is a disgrace. Israel have ignore that resolution and since built a huge wall well into palestinian territory. This is nothing more than colonialism.<br><br>NiallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813200618742996845.post-39462183217696597852007-04-18T21:33:00.000-07:002007-04-18T21:33:00.000-07:00Why this fixation on the year 1967.
