Reader comment on: On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda
Submitted by Pamela Chicago, Mar 25, 2009 22:53
Compare the productivity between the Israelis and their neighbors on all sides while having one arm tied behind their backs with security related issues. If only the arabs would mobilize their populations (all men and women) toward positive productivity instead of hatred and violence toward Israel,the west, and often their own people, their lives would rapidly improve. Israel is far from perfect and security actions are often ugly, but these are required to protect itself. Israel has given back a hundred fold in science and arts compared to it's neighbors that comprise over 300 million more in population and all the rich natural resources of the world... Eventually all people will recognize Israel's great contributions toward improving the world and end the irrational hatred. It is toward this end that those on college campuses should strive... see the positive achievements from the tiny state of Israel and ask what the other side has contributed toward improving their own lives.Note: Comments are screened, and in some cases edited, before posting.

U.S.: Israel's Prosperity a Problem
by Shoshana Bryen
Under the circumstances, the U.S. would do better to tell the Palestinians there is no deal to be had unless they -- both the Fatah and Hamas -- demonstrably accommodate the reality that Israel is a legitimate, permanent part of the region. Otherwise, it is for Israel to determine how best to defend itself from those "challenges over the horizon."
The New, Improved Axis of Jihad
by Clare M. Lopez
Two years into the seismic shift that brought the forces of Islamic jihad and Sharia law to power in country after country in the Middle East and North Africa -- with the astonishing and extensive assistance from the U.S. -- Iran, Hizballah and al-Qa'eda apparently judge that the U.S. and its Western allies still need another nudge to ensure their complete retreat from "Muslim" lands. That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

Why Doesn't the EU Condemn Palestinian Torture?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
Who is Really Desecrating Holy Sites?
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The ultimate goal is to turn the conflict into a religious war between Jews and Muslims. If anyone is desecrating the holy site, it is those who smuggle petrol bombs and stones into the compound to use them against visitors.
