Raoul : f America the super power cannot control or force Sharon out ....who can ?
I guess there was a big march (or gathering) in D.C. today.
mathiaslg:
The public forum in Fresno is the corner(s) of Blackstone and Shaw Avenues. That's where folks gather with signs/whatever to state their cases--whether is was opposition to the Gulf War, farm labor/Caesar Chavez issues, or other political debate. The Arab-Americans (and friends) have been out in force for several weeks now, waving flags, holding up signs that call Sharon "Hitler," and, in general, having a fun time asking folks to "honk" in support of the Palestinians in their plight and for the elimination of the Jewish state in general. Although we don't have the sheer numbers that will gather in DC, I do live less than 1/2 mile from the major mosque/Islamic culture center in northern Fresno, so at times it seems like it. Temple Beth Israel is a bit farther away (and on the other side of me from the mosque.

I read that there were some big names at this pro-Israel gathering, such as Wolfowitz, Gephardt, Netenyahu etc... Big croud too apparently.
If anyone read about the demonstrations in Vienna, little old me was walking by exactly when they were going on.

If anyone read about the big demonstrations recently in Vienna (in regards to the World War II Exhibition), little old me was walking by exactly when they were going on.

Giuliani was there as well.
Its probably the result of Netenyahu's propaganda mission to the states during the incursion. Seems that Sharon sent him over smooth US public opinion via the US talkshow circuit while he (Sharon) sends the tanks into the west bank. Netenyahu and Alon Pinkus have been on seemingly every talk show. Same goes for Hassan Abdel-Rahman for the Palastinians.
Anyway...I'm off to watch Crossfire.

Enjoy, I'm off to bed. Later all.
Raoul : Sharon was elected democratically by israelies & so is arafat.
trying to tribute america's full support to israel to the fact that israel is a democratic country ...is not accurate,,,remember both india & pakistan(before musharraf's coup) were considered democratic countries & that fact didn't stop america from imposing sanctions on both n the late 90's .

India and Pakistan aren't exactly western style democracies. There's alot of corruption in both of those countries.
