Norman is an especial favorite of mine because he really has dared speak truth to power...but I am still surprised he doesn't at least mention the powerful incentive of just plain old money in maintaining this silly notion that by killing more Palestinian children Israel is furthering its security....does that not sound familiar? Didn't we claim that killing Iraqi children as an "acceptable policy"...because it is SO important to be secure??? Everyone knew at the time that Sanctions kill off the young, the old and the sick first...the last people they affect are the wealthy, who are in power...they know that yet they claim that it's a good tactic because the bereaved PARENTS will "rise up"....and in this case do America's dirty work for it.

The Occupation of the West Bank is the Pot of Gold for a certain American and Israeli class...as has been the "danger" to Israel of the stone-throwing Palestinians...is it so far-fetched that this class would do anything it could to KEEP Israel insecure?
