gaza strip

Thought i'd post link to this article and this Chomsky blog on the subject. Having read a bit of Chomsky over the last few years i've been impressed with the way he has presented his arguments. Particularly in his books where he has the room to fully express his not inconsiderable intellect.

People can make up their own minds on this subject, but the few snippets of TV news i've watched of this has only reinforced my opinion that these people who live in these settlements are nutters. Bit of a sweeping statement i know, but they really believe God gave them this lands. I'm an athiest as i've mentioned before, so when people use the argument "God gave us..." whatever people claim god has granted them that argument doesn't hold water for me.

Get right back to the here and now and justify why Israel is entitled to occupy Gaza and the West Bank?
