ghostq   (12.06.10)
residenses from Israel moved inside Israel the so call east jerusalem just inhabitate it this year, this means nothing since palis think they can be part of Israel, all the funding to his equipment comes from Israeli source, so to be a hero on someother people expense isn't much heroism, more like opertunist.
