The illegal "settlers" work night and day to drive the Palestinians off Palestinian land. Their government not only allows them to commit crimes against the Palestinians, but aids them in this nefarious work. Ethnic cleansing at its worst. "Cleansing" the land of anyone who isn't Jewish. This does not bode well for the people of Israel. The world has changed, Israel. Change with it...or live with the consequences of your racism.

The company's subsidiaries include Agrexco (France), Agrexco (US), Carmexco (Italy), Eclectic, Carmel Cor, LACHS and Dalia (Germany). For more information on Agrexco, see here.

The wall isn't really to keep "terrorists" out--it's to keep Palestinians walled in the way the 1.5 million are walled in in Gaza. Israel is simply building another huge prison around Palestinians. But the wall will fall.

Yea right, like that's gonna happen. Maybe they could convince 1.5 mil Americans to take the place of the Palestinians in Gaza. Then we could see how well the Americans get along with Israel.

Israel wants all non-Jews out of Jerusalem so that it can have an all-Jewish Jerusalem to go with its "all Jewish nation." No non-Jews wanted (except as tourists.) This is worse than south Africa ever was.
