1. hmmm, i predict they will use this as another excuse...
mike ,   usa   (08.31.05)
to not fight terrror and build their country. nevermind they have more than enough to build 4 nations from nothing...
2. Just desserts
J K ,   NYC, USA   (08.31.05)
Maybe they shouldnt have chosen terror. Then they wouldnt be getting their asses sued and losing all their assets. Too late to cry foul now over the past. Best shape up in the future or you can be sure to have no money later due to your almost 5 year immoral terror war.
3. Deport the plo terrorists from America now!
Daisy ,   USA   (08.31.05)

5. Most Without A Conscience Will try And Stop The Courts

Finally, maybe some justice for victims of PA/PLO terror. It should be noted that Bush and the Arabist State Dept will do all in their power to prevent the freezing of these assets. Never mind that US citizens were murdered by these groups. They will do anything to keep his moribund road map to death alive. Sounds crazy, and like an oxymoron, yet it is very true. Let's wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if Sharon, Peres and their cohorts go to bat for the PA/PLO. They have many vested interests with these groups. Treason notwithstanding.
6. No justice for American victims of Jewish terror
DW ,   Springfield, USA   (08.31.05)
especially the 37 Americans (100+ injured) in Israel's deliberate attack on US Liberty.
7. The balance is off
Andrew ,   San Jose   (08.31.05)
What about Rachel Corrie, and what about Arab Americans who were killed by IDF in the 1st & 2nd Intifada

The difference between the Israelis and the pals,is quite simple.The Pals were stupid enough to steal the funds that the international community gave them for their people,to help them out of their misery ,imposed by Arafat & his militants.Putting these funds in the banks of the USA, was very STUPID indeed.Further more when charges are brought against the Israeli army,soldiers are either sentenced to prison terms,reprimanded, or even dismissed,yes believe me,this does happen,even though you would find it hard to believe.Where as with the pals,you are "juged sentenced and then released"you even pass GO & collect the 200$."So I think you should have a little more RESPECT and LOVE,for the Americans,for all the money that they gave you.even though you never saw a dime.So I don't think you should be laughing ,crying would be more appropriate.

As a retired military person (U.S. Navy) I can tell you this with a lot of authority... #1 It is NOT a terrorist act when a target is MILITARY. #2 The USS Liberty was a SPY ship. Get yoiur facts straight before you open your mouth.
11. daisy - THERE NEVER WAS A COUNTRY ARABIA!
mike ,   usa   (08.31.05)

12. Keep wondering Sami
???   (08.31.05)
That's about all you are capable of doing anyway. Canada.....home of the free and the broke military! I wouldn't laugh so hard at the US if I were you, your country is a prime target for attack and France isn't going to help out should that happen.
13. PALESTINIANS need a good lawyer
(08.31.05)
The PALEStinians have an incredible case against the state of Israel. Land theft, torture,occupation,abuse, bulldozing homes,. . ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE?? BRING IT ON.......................
14. 13 - PALESTINIANS need a good psychiatrist

Maybe you were lied to. There was a coverup - more is known of this now due to more declassified material and the freedom of infomation act. Its pretty much a given that Israel wasn't as innocent as we were led to believe.

Yonatan ,   Knoxville, USA   (09.01.05)
Yes, there was a coverup to make it look as if it was an accident. Both the US and Israel covered it up. Both sides knew it was a very bad situation considering we are allies. At the time, Israel was at war, we (the US) was spying. (Lets understand this is standard operating proceedure for any country we ALL spy on each other) Israel felt it's security was threatened. No, it wasn't an accident...But we can't point fingers. Another problem I had with #6 is that he called it a terrorist act. It's never a terrorist act when one military is targeting another. Military targets in a hostile situation are always legitimate targets. Thank you for your polite response.
