33% of Republicans aerocontrols - 25/04/2004 12:09:58 PM

Yet all they get in the administration is the position of Attorney General, who has no say on the Israeli-Palestine issue?

Seems to me like such a powerful interest group could get a Sec. of State who agrees with them.




George says:

"To understand what is happening in the Middle East, you must first understand what is happening in Texas. To understand what is happening there, you should read the resolutions passed at the state's Republican party conventions last month."

I would like to read them, but it appears that the Texas Republican Party convention is in June. So what is Monbiot talking about?

edit: Here is the Harris County Republican Party calendar of events:

http://www.harriscountygop.com/sections/calendar/calendar.asp

I don't see a state convention meeting during the month. The closest one comes is the State Senate district 13 convention. Maybe that's what he's talking about?

/edit


and this:

They batter down the doors of the White House as soon as its support for Israel wavers: when Bush asked Ariel Sharon to pull his tanks out of Jenin in 2002, he received 100,000 angry emails from Christian fundamentalists, and never mentioned the matter again.

It's interesting that in 2002, The Guardian reported this number as 'alleged', but Monbiot is now certain. Perhaps he's actually done some investigative journalism.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,820528,00.html

Maybe the reason why Bush stopped demanding that Israel withdraw their tanks is because the Jenin 'massacre' turned out to be a bunch of crap. Maybe he stopped demanding that they withdraw their tanks because they finished their operation and then... um... withdrew their tanks.

No, it was probably the alleged 100,000 emails sent by those fundies.
