Add to your list of “radicals, terrorists, and ignorant people” every U.S. administration (including GWB) who have advocated a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. They certainly believe that their are “Palestinians” and that they deserve their own nation.

And as for “oppressing Jews, Christians,” etc., there are millions of Palestinian Christians living both in Israel and Palestine–who embrace their Palestinian identity. Having traveled to the region numerous times, these are facts that are quite obvious to anyone even casually acquainted with the region, and are certainly not marginal views, Golda Meir's infamous quote notwithstanding.

Denying the identity and existence of an entire people group–regardless of when that groups identity was formed and solidified–is a dangerous path. One that often leads to its own unique and ugly forms of oppression.

I'm glad that they are coming out, and maybe my response was rather harsh. We will have to find a way to lovingly and rationally deal with these people.

Are you serious or just nuts? I love how crazy people with off the wall hermeneutics that skip love, always preface their scriptural reference with "...a proper interpretation of scripture....says..." Sorry, but when I read Deuteronomy and see "When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you may nations...then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy," I don't get a wild hair to go and smite foreigners. Your hermeneutics are driven by a xenophobic obsession, and it is dangerous. Please get help.

It is a shibboleth used by radicals, terrorists and ignorant people to kill and oppress Jews, Christians and their fellow citizens.

We must defeat the Islamist extremists by both force of arms and preaching the Full Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ, including the Law of Liberty, Love, Self-Control, Truth, Justice, Righteousness, Grace, Purity, Patience, Goodness, Gentleness, Peace, Joy, and Faithfulness. As a proper interpretation of Romans 13 indicates, God has given the West, including the United States, working with Russia, China, the government of Pakistan, Israel, and the new government of Iraq, the power and authority to punish these evildoers, and establish a true and just peace that allows the Full Gospel to be preached throughout the land, in liberty, righteousness and truth. See <a href="http://www.americanvision.org" rel="nofollow">www.americanvision.org</a> for pretty good, truthful and fair Christian analysis informed by the Word of God. Get rid of your Christophobia and lead our government to do what it has been given the authority and power to do, with help from the true Body of Christ, of course, informed by the Word and the Holy Spirit.

Too bad it hasn't happened since Newt Gingrich sold out to the Clinton Administration and Congress demonstrates no new concern about sacrificing their role in our Constitutional form of government. “If the administration vacillates, Congress must hold it accountable.”

I agree. Too bad it hasn't happened since Newt Gingrich sold out to the Clinton Administration and Congress demonstrates no new concern about sacrificing their role in our Constitutional form of government.
