If Bush Deserves Israeli

Thanks, What Does He

Deserve from Us [Arabs]?

"For the sake of Israel, he launched racist bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and put Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan on the road to division and disintegration. He also sought harm to other Arab nations in an effort to weaken Arab unity; Arab unity that lost its eastern wing after the fall of Baghdad."

President Bush landed yesterday in Tel-Aviv to receive a flood of thanks and appreciation (in Hebrew) from Israelis for everything he's done for them. What he has done for Israel surpasses the acts of all former U.S. presidents. Since the onset of Arab-Israeli hostilities after he entered the White House, he has ignored the commitments of all of his predecessors, which were put in place to maintain room to maneuver within the Arab world to protect the web of U.S. interests in the region. 

President Bush has flouted all past U.S. reservations about the conflict and has given Israel his unreserved support. For the sake of Israel, he launched racist bloody wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and put Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan on the road to division and disintegration. He also sought to harm other Arab nations in an effort to weaken Arab unity; Arab unity that lost its eastern wing after the fall of Baghdad.

This is to name only a few of the deeds for which President Bush deserves thanks from the Israelis - and this is a man who claims that he supports a "two-state" vision?

Given all this, what does Bush deserve upon his arrival to the other side (the Arab countries)?!
