With their concentration in these refugee ghettos, most Palestinians here live in limbo, caught between the dream of returning to their Palestinian homeland and the nightmare of their current status as non-citizens. Strange how our government doesn't give one rat's about these people, and bringing 'democracy' to them.

12-28-05 - Spielberg on Munich: the humanization of Israeli killers, and the dehumanization of Palestinian civilians Did you notice how one lone critical opinion of the movie by one Israeli diplomat, which only mildly criticized the movie, got so much press in the US?

12-28-05 - President angers Greek patriarch by inviting his predecessor to bash Theofilos, 53, has said he will not recognize any land deals signed by his predecessor.
