I wont post from the Jerusalem post (again) if you refrain from posting from Al Jazeera. I see they're still whining about things done in the 1970s so I guess I could list all the terrorist attacks from hamas, hezbollah and islamic jihad for the last 40 years with no objection from you, can't I? So many here just seem to get it. This country will NEVER side with the Palestinians over Israeli's. You want to know why? Well I guess I'll just post this story from TODAY:

Like I said, I'm agnostic about the deal - one senator in my state is supporting it, the other is not - I'm not planning on punishing either one. But you STILL seem loathe to admit that Iran is not the historical non-violent entity you wish to pretend it is.
