By the way, doma, the US press does seem particularly partisan when questions of Israel are involved.
For myself, I think Palestinians should be permitted to demand rights and interests for themselves as well. And I should like to see them given by those who withhold them now.
Not because they are Moslems, but because they are human beings. I tend to lean towards their side of the argument largely because they clearly are disadvantaged by the status quo. In the same circumstance as them, I suspect I would do things I would not otherwise.
