"No danger of guarantees cut because of fence"

[Herschel]

Senior Israeli officials said today that there was no danger that the US loan guarantees to Israel would be cut because of the separation fence. The optimistic assessment followed talks in Washington between Prime Minister's Bureau director Adv. Dov Weissglas and Ministry of Defense director-general Amos Yaron and senior Bush administration officials.
Israel Ambassador to the US Daniel Ayalon told "Globes", "The talks have created a basis of understanding between Israel and the US regarding the fence. The subject of the loan guarantees never arose in the talks, so consequently there is no reason to fear they will be cut."

Wonderful news. Two great allies come to an understanding. Israel is not undermined. Yet some will wail at this. Oh, my.

1. so the fence acquires moral legitimacy simply because it won't...

...stop the blood money from the U.S.? I don't think so.

2. Bush*, as usual, is insincere...

CUT AID TO ISRAEL NOW.

3. The Aparthied Wall should not be funded

from the U.S. propping up Israel with our tax money. We have enough problems with the Arab nations without adding the Palestinians into the mix.

Just another in a long list of reasons to dump the Bushistas.

4. I think that was clear from the get-go

as soon as the word leaked the government offices were occupied by AIPAC.

There will be no more mention of it. The less the public knows about this, the better.
