I'm STILL waiting for Gilad Shalit to come home!!
Go Israel!
The EU can suck it. That's what I think. They criticize Israel as they take secret payoffs from surrounding Arab countries who are looking to continue this "situation." It's sickening how these terrorist countries use the Palestinians as pawns in their repulsive game of trying to destroy an entire country. They will never succeed and it's time they realize it.

I agree with iloveisrael's comment, and I also believe the Arab/Palestinians are being held hostage to extremist Islam. I have not been able to find one bit of evidence to the Arab/Palestinian claim that Jerusalem/Israel belongs to them. In fact, Allah says in the Quran it is the Land of the Jews. The 7th century Muslims who conquered Jerusalem were kicked out by the Persians and the Ottoman Empire who ruled from the 1500s to WW I were kicked out by the Brits. The Brits ruled as a mandate until the Jewish state was declared in 1948. Muslims have not had control of the Holy Land of the Jews and Christians in almost 100 years.
Jerusalem has been conquered about 25 times since antiquity. It seems to always come back to the Jews. It's my opinion the Arab/Muslims are using Islamic Jihad to try to conquer the land for themselves. Jews and Christians will not allow this to happen.
iloveisrael, please give me some sources for secret payments.
