Helen, it's doubtful the author intended to point to a porn site. If you examine the page's code, the link actually points to a page at:

Steve, I think the link is supposed to be http://www.honestreporting.com I've emailed Rabbi Katz.
personally would enjoy seeing Diana or any other AW employee delete your account and ban you from coming back here again.
LoL Borillar. Why don't you concentrate on your porn sites that you seem to enjoy so much and keep your other fantasies to yourself. I was here long before you and no doubt will be around long after anyone even remembers the paranoid freakazoid known for his gloom and doom ravings.

I haven't a doubt that written complaints concerning your continued membership from various members of this board who are tired of your censorship and nasty attitude towards fellow posters would easily overcome AW's desire to keep you around, Katy.

Helen, click on the link I posted above..honestreporting.COM. I think that is the correct url that the Rabbi intended to post to. Warning! You probably won't agree with the content, but it does present an interesting point of view.

Bunni, you don't get it at all. The British gave Israel in its entirety. Then the U.N. came in and cut out huge portions. Then a half-dozen Arab countries attempted to destroy Israel completely. (Check the "maps" section of the page I linked to.)
For the third time, there would be no "occupied territories" without the constant attacks by Arabs. Your response that Israel itself committed terrorism in order to gain statehood is irrelevant, misleading and untrue. It is just a smokescreen.
Getting back to the original topic, FWIW, I have been to Hebron many times. There are many glass factories and glass artisans located there. Twenty years ago those were relatively peaceful times. I can tell you that the people living in Hebron are in no way oppressed.
What has destroyed that city is not Israeli occupation, but the serpent Arafat who maintains his power by sowing hatred and strife. Hebron is within Israel proper. If an Israeli can't walk down the street without meeing a hail of stones, machine gun fire or grenades, or if glass factories have been converted to bomb factories, then the inhabitants of Hebron are courting disaster.
If the Arabs of Hebron are concerned about their children, then let them keep their children at home. I wouldn't sacrifice my child for palestinian statehood. Under Israel, Arabs have democracy. Under Arafat, they don't have #*!@.

I still think that the funds used by the Palistinian Authority to purchase weapons and millitary supplies from iraq and Iran were funded by Saudis going both ways; both to Iran and Iraq for the weapons and supplies to send and money to the P.A.
Of course, that's just another paranoid conspiracy theory.

"Recognizing the opposing aims of the two national movements, the British recommended (1937) dividing the country into two states, one Jewish and one Arab."
...."Continuing large-scale Arab anti-Jewish riots led Britain (May 1939) to issue a White Paper imposing drastic restrictions on Jewish immigration"
....."After the war, the British intensified their restrictions on the number of Jews permitted to come and settle in the Land. The Jewish community responded by instituting a wide network of "illegal immigration" activities to rescue Holocaust survivors. Between 1945 and 1948 some 85,000 Jews were brought to the Land by secret, often dangerous routes, in spite of a British naval blockade and border patrols set up to intercept the refugees before they reached the country. Those who were caught were interned in detention camps on the island of Cyprus, or returned to Europe."
"Britain's inability to reconcile the conflicting demands of the Jewish and Arab communities led the British government to request that the "Question of Palestine" be placed on the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly (April 1947). As a result, a special committee was constituted to draft proposals concerning the country's future. On 29 November 1947, the Assembly voted to adopt the committee's recommendation to partition the Land into two states, one Jewish and one Arab."

Much is always made of the fact that the Arabs would not ever accept the decisions of either Britain or the UN. We hear about how it is all their fault that there is and has been conflict. But think. They were, essentially, given no choice--*their* land was being given away without their consent. Why should they agree to it? Would you? If you were told tomorrow that you must give up the place where you live because someone else wanted it, would you go quietly? The Palestinians are in the position today that Indians were in--and people feel great sympathy for the Indians. We are told now how "evil" our ancestors were to barge in and take over the Indians' land. But today, as in the past, the settlers feel quite justified in doing so and greatly condemn the displaced for their resistance. Ask yourself what lengths *you* would go to in the same position.

Ah ha - proof that others don't/won't follow UN decisions when they believe it's not in their best interest.

While you guys debate the history of this issue, all I can see is what's been occurring in the last few years. Even Clinton made an attempt to work out an agreement that both sides would accept. But to answer Helen's question in an earlier post, the reason is they've publically stated they won't rest until all Jews are removed....or killed.
