A little bit of justice...

....could we see a little more please. See link here for story.

The mere fact that the Ariel Sharon is Prime Minister when he has been found to be personally responsible for the massacres of Sabra and Shatila says a lot about the political climate in Israel. Israel is a repressive and murderous state that has done as many inhuman acts as any 'official' rogue state or member of the 'axis of evil'.

It's always a controversial subject, to criticise the state of Israel is often seen to be anti semetic. Personally as an athiest i don't give a rats ass about anyones religion, believe in whatever god you like, worship in your own way so long as you don't use it as an excuse for killing people or oppressing others. In the post war period after everyone became aware of the holocaust anyone with a shred of decency must have been sickened at what happened. I wouldn't be an enthusiast of any state being a religious enclave as it were but who would deny jewish people the right to a state after that, not to mention many years of persecution before that. But the way it has panned out not so good.

It's long past time that the extremists were reigned in and let both the jewish people and palestinions live in peace.
