@rebekah: A person’s stance on Israel and the Palestinian situation is irrelevant in terms of this argument. A person’s level of awareness of the situation is also irrelevant. What is relevant is what is right and what is wrong. It is wrong for a government to use its police force to harass citizens for any purpose much less for political purposes.

The Israelis in the pursuit of security and peace are willing to do some pretty distasteful things to achieve it (checkpoints, racial profiling, incursions into Palestinian territory, and other unpleasant things. However, there are huge sectors of Israeli society who denounce all of this type of behavior. For more proof, read the newspaper Ha’aretz and you’ll see how conflicted Israeli society is about their security measures.

However, extreme Palestinians aren’t without blame either. Launching rockets from Gaza into Israel, car/bus bombings, and other acts of terrorism are some examples. The peaceful (which is the majority) Palestinians are complicit because they don’t denounce and root out this type of violence among their own.

although i first wanted to like rebekah because she’s one of the few “non-guanabee-brownosers”, girl, you’ve gone off the deep end.. come back to the light!

her justification of this attack is like saying we should all be against catholics because the spaniards came over to the new world, raped our people, and forced it upon us! lets raid the catholic masses! or…lets raid all the mosques cuz ..HELLO TERRORISM!

To attemp to explain an illigal raid on a group because you don’t like the group’s affiliations (as the Chavistas have apparently done) cannot be justified because that group has committed wrongs in their own past. Rebs, why are you compelled to argue in favor of such nonsense?

If the Venezuelan police are true Latinos, they probably left the wedding party with a plato wrapped in foil and a table centerpiece as well.

Which leads me to discuss Palestine and Israel, one of my favorite international topics! So Chavez aligns himself with Iran which in turn supports Palestine… in case you didn’t know (I’m actually sure you didn’t) Israel is one of the MOST oppressive, brutal, and racist states in existence… Am I advocating random raids of Jews? Hell no, but to look at one side and pick without knowing the whole story is dangerous and DUMB (but totally American as well, I guess)! But thats all for now, I have more important battles to fight… specifically the witch hunt happening right now against Latinos in Arizona (and many, many, many other places)! Ciao!

P.S. I can’t believe how many Latinos believe the crap media! You’d think by now we’d know it to be a little suspect…
