Ravi, for someone who doesn't like Israel you certainly spend a lot of time reading and commenting on this site. But let's get to the heart of it– if Israel were to withdraw to the 1949 armistice lines and allow the creation of a Jew-free State of Palestine in those territories that were under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation, would you then support the right of Israel to be the state of the Jewish people? Would you support its right to defend itself against rocket attacks and terrorism?

Do you have any sources that prove India cooperated with South Africa? From my understanding, India was among the most anti-apartheid countries in the world.

If Mr. Ravi Singh would take a few minutes to check the legalities affecting the so called settlements, he would note that according to international law, Israel is quite within it's rights. If he would like to check this out, let him go to Maurice's article which can be found at http://truthandsurvival.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/more-sober-voices-out-of-israel-maurice-ostroff/ There is an old saying that if you tell a lie often enough, people will begin to believe that it is true. This seems to be the basis for Mr. Singhs comments.

No mention of the occupation and the settlement enterprise.. Why
Israels lousy reputation world wide is 90% due to the occupation/settlement enterprise. Don't intelligent people like Ostroff get it.. or do they wilfully choose to ignore reality?
