from the graphic novel/investigative journalism piece by joe sacco (READ IT):
"And what were the options of the Palestinian refugees who had lost their homes and land with Israel's birth and found themselves roaming the sands of Gaza?
Of them, an Israeli Foreign Ministry report in 1949 predicted that 'the most adaptable and best survivors would manage by a process of natural selection, and the others will waste away. Some will die but most will turn into human debris and social outcasts and probably join the poorest classes in the Arab countries.'"
and a headline from Friday:
"U.S. Blocks Security Council Censure of Israeli Settlements"
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/19/world/middleeast/19nations.html?_r=1&ref=middleeast
"The widespread eruptions of antigovernment protests in the Middle East have focused on domestic issues and have not been tinged with anti-American sentiment. The Obama administration said it hoped that the veto, which it has as one of the Council’s five permanent members, would not change that public sentiment."
and today:
"Jordan slam US veto on Israeli settlements resolution"
