I do want to clarify that the war I refer to above is the global war we are currently engaged in with Islamic fundamentalism.
However, with regard to the Israeli/Palestinian issue in particular, and however offensive these folks are in the video, there are valid issues to deal with on both sides of the equation. Israel needs complete security for its citizens and national interests, and the Palestinians need autonomy and must be dealt with in humanitarian ways. (I am NOT referring to the terrorist entity Hamas). It is interesting to note that one of the key factors in President Bush's argument in the spin-up to the war in Iraq was Saddam Hussein's failure to comply with certain UN resolutions, while, by far, the nation with the most egregious and numerous UN violations has been Israel.
