To me his isn't legitiment. In my book that right there, is cause enough to get rid of him. It kills me to hear people call him a LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT!!! ....

Neither was Bush!!! Okey maybe not from a point of a gun but those 2000 elections were really spooky

And by the way, Israel army is not defending their own land, they are defending a part of palestinian land they occupied in 1967, breaking just abut every peace contract there was about not moving civilans into occupied land. The palestinians are trying what they can to get back their own land.[/QUOTE]I believe I said they should abandon Gaza and The West Bank in an earlier post in this thread. There will be no peace until then. Of course that leaves the problem of Jeruselem. I think it should be declared an international city like the Vatican is.

One historical fact about Gaza and The West Bank. The Israelis didn't seize either area from the Palestians. At the time of Israeli occupation, Gaza was under the control of the Egyptians and The West Bank was under the control of the Jordanians. According to the UN mandate in 1948, I believe they were to have been under the control of Palestian people. That never happened.
