This is one of the most horrifying things I've read in a while:

And I have to say, as a Jewish woman, I am increasingly sick of saying "Israel should know better." Hell, Israel should do better. Gah.

They're all citizens and Israel is the biggest welfare queen sucking on the public dole we're ever likely to have. I think the state department could you know... make a few phone calls, exert a little pressure, do its job.

ya know the US just sux. And Israel has been doing so much wrong for years I don't know who to be more angry at, the US for giving them more weapons or them for discriminating people that share 99.9% of their gene pool.

Anyone who says that Israel doesn't practice apartheid is full of it.

Wow, that's completely outrageous behaviour from both governments.

"Bedier, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said the family was told the problem could be solved if they signed a paper renouncing their Palestinian heritage and all future intention to become Palestinian citizens."

Wow. I think I would throw a fit if someone asked me to renounce my Swiss heritage and all future intention to become a Swiss citizen, and that's at about zero personal cost to me. Wtf?
