those Muslims, especially the hunnies.

Are you really going to compare the persecution of Muslims in Israel to the treatment of African-Americans in America?
Can you please provide me a source stating how many African-Americans are being held in jail FOR YEARS AND YEARS
without trial?
You may also include in your sources all of the African-Americans that have had no contact with their family, or been granted an attorney, since they
were arrested.
Now, to the point, I believe that Israel has no right whatsoever detaining people, any people, without trial or charge. I further think that the
United States is a hypocrite for not addressing this issue and/or passively accepting it. But, since that is exactly what Gitmo is, perhaps we are
not hypocrites after all.
You should also know that this is in no way a new topic, however it will be covered more and more as Obama tries to show the world that we are not as
tied to Israel as everyone thinks. Mind you, we are -- he just doesn't want to admit it -- at least not to Russia, China, and Iran.
