On a side note, I found this link and thought it was funny that, as much as you don't like Bush and think he is taking a pro-Arab stance, this author doesn't like Bush and thinks he is taking a pro-Israeli stance. (Note that I do NOT agree with what he says, I just find it amusing that both sides feel that Bush is on the other side.)

That link is full of crap. We don't get 5 billion a year, but only 1.2, which is still a lot, but is less than the 2 billions Egypt gets. Of course, proportionaly we get more because Israel have 5.8 million population and Egypt have about 100 millions or so.

I'll tell you why. A couple of minutes ago I was sent a photograph from the Reuters News Agency that showed a seven-year-old boy laying dead on the ground. The caption read, in part: "A neighbor watching 20 meters away on his balcony told Reuters that an Israeli tank crewman had beckoned a group of children to approach his vehicle, and Mahmoud was then gunned down by four bullets of the tank's machine gun when the party came near."

This is pure Palestinian propaganda. You probably remember when they claim 5000 masacred in Jenin, and they consider part of their war to desacredit Israel with any lies that they can get away with, and justify that saying that Israel have tanks and planes and they don't. Basicly, I don't believe one single word that comes from the Palestinians. For them lying is a weapon.
Check out this link: Mohammed al-Dura

Then, one day as I sat at a table for a radical group in front of the University of Maryland Student Union, some rather menacing college students came up and asked me why I had literature supporting the Palestinians on my table. I began to explain that the Palestinians deserved a hearing when suddenly I was struck in the chest by one of the students. It turned out that these guys were members of the Jewish Defense League.

The Jewish Defense League's party in Israel was declared illegal by the Israeli goverment, and their HQ in the US were taken over by the FBI.
Still, this guy story looks to me like inventing something using an already bad name, so everybody will believe it, but since this guy have already said several lies, and hidden several truths, I don't belive this story, though it could have happened, I'm not gonna tell you is impossible that it happened. Using the the JDL to show how bad Israel is, its like using the KKK to show how bad the US is.
