| While in Palm Beach, Kerry supports Israeli security fence |
| 2004-09-26 |
| EFL - wonder what his position is when speaking in Ann Arbor. Efforts to secure part of the Democratic Party's Florida base may cost Sen. John Kerry support from a smaller, but possibly vital, constituency: Arab-Americans. It's possible that his handlers have decided that the jihadi vote is in the bag, regardless of what he says about Israel. In a recent interview with The Palm Beach Post, Kerry reiterated his support for the Jewish state, including its right to built a security barrier through the occupied West Bank territory and its ability to buy advanced weapons, such as "bunker-busting" bombs. Israel used such a bomb two years ago to assassinate a terrorist leader in the Gaza Strip, but the explosion also killed 15 civilians, including children Kerry approves of military purchases as long as the US miliary is not the buyer. Kerry also said that, although he would encourage movement toward a peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians, he would not do so "at the expense of Israel's right to defend herself. Israel has to negotiate Israel's security, not the United States." Kerry's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict appears virtually identical to that of President George W. Bush, whom Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has called Israel's strongest supporter ever in the White House. |

#3 "bunker-busting" bombs. Israel used such a bomb two years ago to assassinate a terrorist leader in the Gaza Strip, but the explosion also killed 15 civiliansJeezus Christ on a Crutch! If they had used actual "bunker-busters" in the Gaza Strip, a hell of a lot more than 15 people would have been killed. You clueless moron. |

| #2 bunker-busting" bombs. Israel used such a bomb two years ago to assassinate a terrorist leader in the Gaza Strip, but the explosion also killed 15 civilians, LOL. I believe the article is referring to two (2) 500 lb. laser guided general purpose booms, which targeted Rantissi the first time... he was later done in by 2 lbs of molten copper shaped by 12 lbs of go boom. |
