Free to vote for us

Sadly, America and Israel have shown their commitment to democracy.

Meanwhile, Israel continues with plans to annex the Jordan Valley, which will make whatever shattered remnants of a Palestinian state entirely encircled by Israel.

And America continues to occupy a country whose people largely want it gone, claiming to be spreading "freedom" and "democracy". But not freedom to vote for who you want. And not democracy that does not elect its clients. Why not start saying what we mean? Do what we want or suffer. Do what we want or be attacked.

I note that Hamas are turning to Iran for funding. I am surely not alone in believing this to be the aim of the Israeli action. Drive Hamas towards Iran and away from moderation. What nutters would do that? Nutters who are not interested in negotiation, only in Palestinian surrender, bantustanisation and, secretly, transfer. Does it not look like the Sharon party want to make life untenable for the Palestinians? Hasn't that been the aim of their policy? Am I missing something?
