10-29-06 - Open door Some months ago, the Guardian published two articles dealing with Israel's apartheid-like system. It is a well-respected news outfit of Britain.

Looks like CAMERA had a complete sh#t fit about those reports since it couldn't get away with what it does in the US MSM. My how the tables have turned over the centuries, eh? America has (silently) become (re-)occupied territory. And if the American people knew what grip those people have on our government..
