Settlements continue to be built (see http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105384977 - no one can accuse US media of being biased in ANY way on this subject, except perhaps in a pro-Israeli way). Palestinian land continues to be stolen by Israelis. For a map (admittedly old) see here: http://www.palestinemonitor.org/spip/IMG/jpg/Wall_Map_February2007.jpg This shows the "Green Line", the divergence from that line through the current and planned apartheid wall, and the VAST regions of Palestine that are occupied by hostile and illegal Israeli settlements.<br /><br />I am in no way anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish. I do, however, think it is unacceptable for a strong state, backed by untold millions of US dollars (another very strong state) to be stealing from another marginalized people. It disgusts me.<br /><br />And I'm not even the one being stolen from! I can only imagine the desperation under which the Palestinian people live. I can only imagine how that desperation might require me to act in desperate ways if I were the one being so clearly oppressed.<br /><br />If Israel needs a wall to separate itself from Palestine, that is it's own choice. But the minute that wall extends beyond the green line and the minute that Israeli citizens steal a single square inch of another people's land - I support the victim. Never the perpetrator.Jon M.

But please do not see my acceptance of this comment as an endorsement of the website that he is advertising.<br /><br />The website was sufficiently vague as to not attract too much attention, but through a quick Google of the comment's author I easily determined that he has anti-Islamic, anti-Arabic, (and it may be assumed, anti-Palestinian) motivations.<br /><br />Such position are NOT supported by this blog.<br /><br />But free speech is.<br /><br />So I let the comment stand with my personal objections.Jon M.
