British MP wants economic sanctions against Israel
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1075727.htm

A British Member of Parliament from the ruling Labour party, Gerald Kaufman, has called for economic sanctions against Israel, including cutting off arms supplies, to force it back to the negotiating table with the Palestinians.

"It is not enough for the world community, including our own Government, to condemn the Israeli Government's brutal policies of repression," he said, addressing members of his Manchester constituency.

Party...you know...a liberal... Wish the liberals in the US would

Sharon will be a guest of * in about three weeks. There will probably be a photo op in the Rose Garden after there meeting and all will be right with the cabal/PNAC world, as usual.

6. How many countries fall under "etc." ?
Must every oppressive administration get exactly the same treatment to make you happy ? In other words, so long as Israel isn't the only offender, it must not be singled out ? Perhaps Kaufman as a Jew takes a special interest in the Israeli situation. I think that's his right, as uncomfortable as this may be for some.
