Reader comment on item: Pretending There's a Country Called "Palestine"
in response to reader comment: Palestine, the country
Submitted by Linda Haslam (United States), Mar 17, 2008 at 12:33
Excuse me--did you forget about all the rockets fired into Israel by Hamas? Did you not remember all the suicide bombers killing Israelis? If you really want to learn about the history and nature of the conflict; may I recommend Walid Shoebat's book Why I Left Jihad.
