Charles Krauthammer wrote in TIME that the Arab rocket shooting from the Gaza showed Arab perfidy, since the Israelis had closed the settlements (in Gaza). The Arabs in one area should only think about the nearest 50 kilometers, what happens in Hebron or Nablus is no concern of theirs. Ah. Israel bonds are sold in Australia and America, but caring for other Arabs is not fit for faraway Arabs, who should look away while Israel does violence for land, and the US does violence for oil. And all the bribe money in foreign bank accounts for Mubarek, and Abdullah and Hassan and Allawi never mind that. The US has a right to reward its friends. It needs to, to get the ruler friends to betray their people.
