We are all in the same boat. I never suggested chastising only the Jews . I have always being very hash on Arafat after what he did in Lebanon to his hosts there (the Lebanese people) BUT and a big BUT

this time what Sharon has done is blatant aggression,disrespect for the UN and the whole world dismissing everyone as gentiles and he is the chosen messiah for the European settlers who converted recently to Judaism and were settled in what is now Israel/palestine.

by the way the first choice of the Zionist was Uganda ,second was tripoli (Libya)  and Palestine the third FYI. I am sure you know about the Balfour treaty  which also help divide Africa as we know it today. Remimber your namesake Yusuf (Joseph -the dreamer) He was set up by his own Jewish brothers . Violence and hatred  must be in their blood somehow
as they teach it daily by example - both sides

They are cousins after all. Descendants of Abraham- Ismael ( Sarah's son) the Arabs and Isaac ( hannah's son) the jews. We should balme them for starting this mess (laugh)

 

It is hard to sit down and not do anything to stop the violence. The least we can do is call the people in power to do something, write to the newspapers and speak out on Tv or protest in our forum

Best regards

Habib
