Dear Sir,Israel deserves greetings on its 60th birthday.Israeli founding fathers and subsequent leaders with vision and hard work made the country a strong military and economic machinery in the region.The Israelis should be proud of achievements their country has made.The only thing missing is the sense of permanent peace for the present and coming generations of Israelis and Palestinians.Unfortunately absence of peace in the region is as old as the birth of Israel.The ideal situation should have been peacefull coexistence of two independent and sovereign states of Palestine and Israel.Is it because of absence of visionaries or intrasigance that peace is elusive in the region?.The asnwer has to be found by the present leadership of Israeli and Palestinans.
Ayaz Ahmed Pirzada,New York
Much is made of the remarks of Iran's president, and mostly it is twisted to support a point of view that rationalizes violence. But I think he may be right, the promise of Israel is showing itself to be nothing more than a dream.
Bush is more than happy to rattle the sabre at Iran in Israel and Saudi Arabia, as this unholy alliance is certainly anti-Iran.
Whereas Iran is seeking energy independence with nuclear power, all we hear from the Israeli-Saudi-US trio is how they are building nuclear weapons. It's ironic how we complain about Iran not following IAEA rules, but we don't follow them, and Israel has nukes, but there has never been an international accounting of them.
The spin is out of control...
Israel the democracy. What a joke. For Palestinians, born, raised and working in Israel, it is not a democracy. Only Jews can vote in Israel... it's an apartheid theocracy, not a open democracy.
Hamas was elected democratically, but that Hamas is not recognized either by Israel or the U.S.
So much for democracy.
Unfortunately, Israel is turning out to be a failed experiment. What they have done to Gaza and the West Bank is criminal. Nearly 40 UN resolutions against Israel for apartheid behavior were passed by the UN General Asssembly, but vetoed in the Security Council by one country over the last decade, the US.
We are the Israeli apologist. Israel always has the right to "defend itself" regardless of the disproportionate response. The most recent example being the crackdown on Gaza... withholding food, water and fuel. Then the attacks. OH, the Qassam missiles that for the last seven years have rained down on settlements in the West Bank... yes, in seven years they killed 13 Israelis.... and how many Palestinians were wiped out with Cobra and Blackhawk helicopters??? over 100 in the two day attack.
We hear about the "target militants" being killed, but then the funerals always seem to include women and children.
The days of US the apologist are going to come to an end. While certainly not on the scale of what the Nazis did to the Jews, the Jews in spirit are doing to the Palestinians as was done on to them. Most of the occupied territories Gaza and the West Bank are little more than concentration camps... the walls, the checkpoints, the indiscriminate killing, etc.
Unfortunately for the Jewish people, if they had a "true" democracy in Israel, they wouldn't have Israel, because the rules they've created for themselves are not sustainable. They are holding land that is not theirs, and the right landowners will never give up. That's why the Jews are heading toward employing the same kind of "ulimate solution" against the Palestinians that Hitler had envisioned for them.
Since Shia's are not like by the Sunni's the Saudi's are also behind the destruction of the Shia'a religion, Persia, Iran. Why the US is lying about Iran to favor curry with the Saudis, who are responsible for 9-11 and continuing to side wholly with the Jews (one of the 3 reasons for 9-11, according to UBL) is not the best place for the US to be, as I don't want to fight WWIII for the Jews or Saudi's and I don't think most Americans do either... thus the lies.
I think that all these nations wishing Israel a happy birthday are deeply insensitive to the plight and pain of the Palestinian people who lost their freedom, homes, land and loved ones 60 years ago. It's glaring bias is totally unjust. Why has the rest of the world followed Bush's new America in supporting the oppresser instead of the victim?

Dear Sir,Israel deserves greetings on its 60th birthday.Israeli founding fathers and subsequent leaders with vision and hard work made the country a strong military and economic machinery in the region.The Israelis should be proud of achievements their country has made.The only thing missing is the sense of permanent peace for the present and coming generations of Israelis and Palestinians.Unfortunately absence of peace in the region is as old as the birth of Israel.The ideal situation should have been peacefull coexistence of two independent and sovereign states of Palestine and Israel.Is it because of absence of visionaries or intrasigance that peace is elusive in the region?.The asnwer has to be found by the present leadership of Israeli and Palestinans.

Much is made of the remarks of Iran's president, and mostly it is twisted to support a point of view that rationalizes violence. But I think he may be right, the promise of Israel is showing itself to be nothing more than a dream.
Bush is more than happy to rattle the sabre at Iran in Israel and Saudi Arabia, as this unholy alliance is certainly anti-Iran.
Whereas Iran is seeking energy independence with nuclear power, all we hear from the Israeli-Saudi-US trio is how they are building nuclear weapons. It's ironic how we complain about Iran not following IAEA rules, but we don't follow them, and Israel has nukes, but there has never been an international accounting of them.
The spin is out of control...
Israel the democracy. What a joke. For Palestinians, born, raised and working in Israel, it is not a democracy. Only Jews can vote in Israel... it's an apartheid theocracy, not a open democracy.
Hamas was elected democratically, but that Hamas is not recognized either by Israel or the U.S.
So much for democracy.
Unfortunately, Israel is turning out to be a failed experiment. What they have done to Gaza and the West Bank is criminal. Nearly 40 UN resolutions against Israel for apartheid behavior were passed by the UN General Asssembly, but vetoed in the Security Council by one country over the last decade, the US.
We are the Israeli apologist. Israel always has the right to "defend itself" regardless of the disproportionate response. The most recent example being the crackdown on Gaza... withholding food, water and fuel. Then the attacks. OH, the Qassam missiles that for the last seven years have rained down on settlements in the West Bank... yes, in seven years they killed 13 Israelis.... and how many Palestinians were wiped out with Cobra and Blackhawk helicopters??? over 100 in the two day attack.
We hear about the "target militants" being killed, but then the funerals always seem to include women and children.
The days of US the apologist are going to come to an end. While certainly not on the scale of what the Nazis did to the Jews, the Jews in spirit are doing to the Palestinians as was done on to them. Most of the occupied territories Gaza and the West Bank are little more than concentration camps... the walls, the checkpoints, the indiscriminate killing, etc.
Unfortunately for the Jewish people, if they had a "true" democracy in Israel, they wouldn't have Israel, because the rules they've created for themselves are not sustainable. They are holding land that is not theirs, and the right landowners will never give up. That's why the Jews are heading toward employing the same kind of "ulimate solution" against the Palestinians that Hitler had envisioned for them.
Since Shia's are not like by the Sunni's the Saudi's are also behind the destruction of the Shia'a religion, Persia, Iran. Why the US is lying about Iran to favor curry with the Saudis, who are responsible for 9-11 and continuing to side wholly with the Jews (one of the 3 reasons for 9-11, according to UBL) is not the best place for the US to be, as I don't want to fight WWIII for the Jews or Saudi's and I don't think most Americans do either... thus the lies.

I think that all these nations wishing Israel a happy birthday are deeply insensitive to the plight and pain of the Palestinian people who lost their freedom, homes, land and loved ones 60 years ago. It's glaring bias is totally unjust. Why has the rest of the world followed Bush's new America in supporting the oppresser instead of the victim?
