First some good news Apparently the smoothing out process has hit a bump. I hope that neither side allows this to interfere with strides being made toward peace. Apparently some Palestinian police were moonlighting as fighters against Israeli soldiers. The PA denied it at first but then admitted it. Israel in response went and killed 8 Palestinian policemen. In other news Israeli settlers have been attacking and destroying homes of Palestinians. Israel needs to reign them in at the least. And move the settlers out at the best. Jewish settlers continue attacks on Palestinians link to the story here. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/E4D19123-9DD3-11D1-B44E-006097071264.htm There is another good/pro U.S. story at the same link, about the U.S. criticizing the human trafficking. That topic is another thread so I won't post the whole article. But I thought I would post the good with the bad.
