Name:betz55
City: State: US
Sixty years of what? warmongering,apartheid,hate based racism towards the Palestinians?Good news? There will be when the Dem candidates force Israel to recognize a two-state solution, a separation between their country and this one,the United States.This panel could start the dialogue by stopping AIPAC aka "The Lobby" from practicing McCarthyism everyday day by stifling `free speech` that questions Israels oppressive apartheid policies. Let`s open that discussion up to the US and the US/Israeli media and watch how the jews encourage THAT discussion unharrassed.The oath of allegiance that I said everyday in school was not to Israel, or any country but the U.S. A true friend of Israel would force the Israelis to end the occupation of the West Bank,stop the apartheid,and stop repressing the legitimate national aspirations of the Palestinians.Only then will any "anniversay" be worth celebrating.
