Why is it such a big deal that Israel and Palestine are at war over Palestine? I thought that Jews were only 3% of the US population, therefore they are such a small minority that their problems don't matter to AMERICANS!!! How about the American Indians, they were slaughtered and are almost extinct and have still not recieved proper reparations. What about African Americans who still are forced to live in the Ghetto, did not recieve their 40 acres and a mule each and are descriminated against on a daily basis. Also just how many African Americans are in jail under unjust rulings...too d@mn many. I have no sympathy for Jews who live in the most expensive neighborhoods and survive through nepotism and again are only 3% of the US pop. It is about time that we start to see who the real victims are and start worrying about AMERICA first.

A good deal of people may think it's a big deal to worry about any war that occurs in which innocents on both sides are slaughtered on a daily basis. Also, Israel is the United States' main foothold in the Middle East, so that could be another possible reason to care. The nepotism statment is just plain silly. I only wish I could own a business that was able to succeed and continue to grow by handing it down to members of my family. Alas, I fear that Matty's Brothel 'n' Wicker will die with me as I have no one to whom I may bequeath my hookers and wicker ottomans.
Amerika has enough footholds around the world....

Not only does the Imperial United States of Amerika have footholds all over the middle east, Amerika still occupies, or has a strong military presence in Japan, S. Korea, Germany, England and a large chunk of South America. My point is that America was not supposed to become an empire. America is a republic and should listen to the majority, ie. whites, blacks, hispanics and the terribly downtrodden Native Americans. Israeli intrests are of no concern to these groups, jobs and the well being of OUR country is our interest. Anyway the Jewish people do not belong in Palestine and should have built a reservation in NY or something since they needed a homeland after WWII.
If anything the Jewish people are making the same mistake that the early American settlers made when they colonized this country.

Oh and if you still think that I'm a stupid gentile, then answer me this...why would a group censor this site
http://www.jewwatch.net
are they scared that the truth gets out? are they against free speech? if they are so smart why don't they debunk the accusations and theories, it seems to me pretty cowardly to silence someone because you disagree with what they say. Maybe they themselves are too brainwashed to tell what the truth is when they see it.
Also I would like to hear from some non-Jews to see what their opinions are.
Shalom my niggah
Oh Jewwatch still lives because it is cached in several locations around the globe

Thank you Indymedia for an open forum such as this,
I can't say the same for cybersquatters against hate, who hate by censoring sites instead of showing by example what they believe.
Let's be real

Let's get real ! No offence against Jews or Israelis. However, you might also call it a myth that the land was given to the Jews by the english occupants. Instead of being content to finally have a place to be, Israel expanded, taking what was not theirs. Now, I still have a problem to be concerned when more people get killed on a daily basis in countries that noone talks about, but the Israeli publicity machine manages to keep Israel in the world news. Here is a myth for you: Israel is of internationalimportance.
