    good morning all.
    What you folks would not get from our MS media are news like;
    " violent terrorist attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians have increased by 150% since 2009" And the US State Dept has now been compelled (albeit shaking in its boots) to call them acts of terrorism.
    Just on Friday a 17 year old was lunched by Israeli youths in Jerusalem and a fire bomb injured 6.

      Saywhat... As long as the Palestinians are willing the war against Israe lto continue it means that they're happy with the results (including the settlements and everything else you love to complain about).
