“Palestinian Farmers Fear Advance of West Bank Wall”
Imperialism, unilateral setting of borders....these words aren't normally used, but is there really any other way to describe's Israel's actions? From the article...
“Last week Israeli military forces dropped leaflets on the residents of al-Khader village informing them of plans to confiscate another 100 dunums of land. “
I wont lie, i had to Google a dunum. Apparently its about ¼ of an acre.
Anyway, if i was a Palistinian, i wouldn't recognize the people stealing my land either. It's notable that this was on the fifth page of the paper, well behind the daily rabble about terrorism. I think the US should promote obliterating the Palestinian Authority and Israel and make an international religious zone. Or better yet, nuke the whole area and leave nothing left for anyone to claim. Seems like that's the inevitable outcome anyway.
On a different note, I'm admittedly behind the entertainment times here in Europe. I just recently saw the ads for the new World Trade Center movie. I don't really want to see it, i saw the real thing. But what does interest me is what they are doing with the money it makes? Probably lining the pockets of some Hollywood but i was thinking what if they made an offer to the public. An offer that any bounty hunter, mercenary, redneck or other gun toting American that captured Osama would get all those profits. It'd certainly be an interesting twist, i might even go see the movie if i know that was where the money was going. I might even see it twice! I realize the government's already got a reward out there, but this would be an interesting twist.
