(K): The hypocrites that are the U.S.A. are 'mulling and reviewing' the
fence that is being built by Israel deep into Palestinian territory and
in many cases separating the homes of Palestinian farmers from their
fields. This is ANOTHER land grab by the zionists of Palestinian land.

Yet the U.S. doesn't dare offend its American-armed, financially-supported
country in the middle east. They NEED a nuclear-armed, highly militaristic
American satellite to maintain an intimidation amongst Arab lands.

So stick your 'mulling and reviewing and comtemplating' up your American
asses, Powell. You're fooling no one with your tsk tsk rhetoric. You
could have stopped the Israelis long ago if you wanted to. You're the
most dispicable country on the face of the earth now.

U.S. Mulling Responses to Israeli Fence - Powell
Sat October 04, 2003


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration was engaged in "intense
discussions" about how to respond to the barrier Israel is building in and
around Palestinian territory to prevent suicide attacks, Secretary of
State Colin Powell said in an interview published on Saturday.

He told The Washington Post the administration, 'unhappy' with the
construction of the barrier Israel calls a security fence -- was reviewing
the construction process, where it was being built and what U.S.
obligations were under the law, among other issues.

"If you want to put a fence on something that is a recognized border, the
Green Line (which separated Israel and the West Bank before 1967), then
put a fence on your property line," Powell told the newspaper.

"But the more you intrude in Palestinian areas and the more it looks like
it could be contiguous intrusion around large sections of Palestinian land
that would prejudge subsequent negotiations as to what a Palestinian state
may look like, that's a problem," he said.

Palestinians have described the barrier -- consisting of ditches, high
electric fences, concrete walls and dirt and asphalt roads -- as a new
Berlin Wall that grabs territory and reflects an attempt to create a
political border.

Israel has said the barrier was meant to prevent attacks by Palestinian
suicide bombers, but another struck on Saturday at a crowded Haifa beach
restaurant, killing at least 18 people and wounding dozens.

A State Department spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the latest attack.

The United States could subtract barrier construction costs from U.S. loan
guarantees to Israel, something the administration has indicated it would
do for settlements Israelis are building in Palestinian territory.
