Thread Name: BS: Congratulations to the Palestinians.
Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations to the Palestinians.
jpk, I would be much more interested in what you have to say if you would go live with them yourself for a while.

There are people from all over the world, some of them women, from all religions - including Jewish, who are currently living in Palestinian villages, in Palestinian homes, to help protect Palestinians from the dangers they face because of the occupation. All of the accounts I have seen about what it is like for those people, living among the Palestinians, have been positive with regard to what the Palestinians themselves are like. Some of the women have even married Palestinian men. They have less positive things to say about what it's like to live under the occupation.

But what an astonishingly un-American thing to say to me, jpk... suggesting that I should have to leave the US for committing the sin of practicing free speech.
