Mary (and David), please reread my #42 and see if you can provide a more
thorough response to what I said. Not just about the distinction between
outposts which are illegal under Israeli law and "settlements" which are
allegedly illegal under an international law that no one can find.  (If
others said the earth was flat would you also blindly believe them? If
a former Israeli minister of defense said that the world is flat in some
places would you also misconstrue this to mean that he said the earth
is flat?)

And that was but my first paragraph.  Can you explain why the US was
hated by tyrannical Arab regimes who turned their backs on America
long before the US provided Israel with more than a token amount of
primarily economic aid?  Complete figures are provided in #42.

I'm also awaiting a response to my comments in #40:

| Any thoughts about the hypocritical invocations of international law
| in this theater?  (See #36)

| Talking of hypocrisy, and assuming that you support the so-called "right
| of return" (for Arabs into Israel), how could it be "illegal" for Jews
| to return to Judea?!

Can it really be the case that international law requires that Arabs
"return" to Israel but simultaneously prohibits Jews from returning to
where they lived prior to the illegal 1948 Arab invasion which ethnically
cleansed ALL Jews from Judea, Samaria and Gaza?
