Sorry you feel that way.
Everyone ...Empress Trudy<br /><br />Sorry you feel that way.<br /><br />Everyone is entitled to have a say in the direction they want their lives to go.<br /><br />If they want to continue to oppose and reject the right of the Jews to have their own state - then let them say so and continue to live with the consequences of such a decision.<br /><br />Let Carter fly in and declare the elections free and fair. That will prevent the people saying the vote was unfair.<br /><br />Just keeping people muzzled indefinitely is a poor option.<br /><br />Would you stand for it here in Australia or wherever you happen to live?David Singer -https://www.blogger.com/profile/18281274914728257734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-84410254461697457182013-02-08T02:28:40.702+11:002013-02-08T02:28:40.702+11:00I have to disagree.

The west is enamored of pictures of all Arab ladies holding up their purple fingers. This to the west is the alpha and the omega of 'democracy.' They had a vote of sorts, not a large number of people were stabbed or shot, the ballots were reasonably well tracked and Jimmy Carter swooped in an blessed it. But all this does is certify the mechanics - something any high school election could pull off. It should matter who's running, what they want, who's being threatened, bribed or tortured to vote or not vote a certain way and it should matter when various political opponents are found dead in a ditch from a suicide 8 shots in the back hanging. No the Arabs don't need elections. What they need is to be ignored. They need to squat in the dust banging their begging bowl for another hundred years until the gap between us and them, between what they want and what they have is like the gap between moon landings and Borneo cannibals.
