Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem awoke to a suspected price tag attack Sunday morning. The vandals slashed the tires of seven Palestinian-owned cars, spray painted another and spray painted price tag on a wall.
The slogan painted onto the car makes it appear to be an attempted act of revenge after an Israeli soldier was murdered in the central West Bank over the weekend. The Palestinian man accused of killing the soldier is not from Sheikh Jarrah or Jerusalem.
Residents reportedly videotaped the attack and handed it over to police, who asked that the video not be released so as not to harm the investigation into the price tag attack.

(14,851 posts)Does anyone who is not marginal or radical extreme right or way ultra extreme left believe Israel or The Jews had anything to do with the Iraq wars?
Does anyone in our Democratic Party believe that ? Can you find me a link ?
Saying that Israel or the Jews caused the USA into Iraq wars is in the same league as saying Jews stayed at home on 9-11 or run Hollywood the White House and Wall Street ...
Marginal extreme ....
Obama or any of our Democratic Party representatives reject this our of hand and only the marginal extremists continue with this agenda.

Moving on. Are you saying that the excerpt below is in fact a lie, that the claim was never made by Sharon?
Israeli intelligence officials have gathered evidence that Iraq is speeding up efforts to produce biological and chemical weapons, said Sharon aide Ranaan Gissin.
"Any postponement of an attack on Iraq at this stage will serve no purpose," Gissin said. "It will only give him (Saddam) more of an opportunity to accelerate his program of weapons of mass destruction."

"If the Americans do not do this now," said Israeli Deputy Defense Minister and Labor Party member Weizman Shiry on Wednesday, "it will be harder to do it in the future. In a year or two, Saddam Hussein will be further along in developing weapons of mass destruction. It is a world interest, but especially an American interest to attack Iraq."
<snip>
"The more aggressive the attack is, the more it will help Israel against the Palestinians. The understanding would be that what is good to do in Iraq, is also good for here," said Ezra. He said a US strike would "undoubtedly deal a psychological blow" to the Palestinians.

This was terrible news for liberal/progressive Israeli's and Jews abroad. If there is going to be peace, these NGO's were going to play a huge part in making that peace possible.
btw thanks for the welcome
