So You STILL Think Bush is a Friend to Israel?

Well, in the latest, he has demanded Israel end its "OCCUPATION" of the West Bank. Occupation? From the Reuters article:

U.S. President George W. Bush, hardening his tone towards Israel on Thursday, urged an end to "the occupation" of the West Bank and pushed for a peace treaty to be signed within a year to create a Palestinian state.

The United States rarely uses the politically charged word "occupation" to describe Israel's hold on lands captured in a 1967 war. It is a term Palestinians seeking a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip employ frequently to describe their plight.

"The establishment of the state of Palestine is long overdue. The Palestinian people deserve it," Bush said in a statement he read to reporters in a Jerusalem hotel.

"There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967," Bush said.
The Palestinian people (a made-up term, by the way - there is no such thing as a Palestinian - this is a fiction created by an Egyptian Arab, Yasser Arafat, when he created the PLO) DESERVE a state? What have they done to deserve a state?! Kill Jews? Exploit Israel? Exploit world sympathy? Accuse Israel of being an Apartheid state when all Israel tried to do before the Intifadas was help the "Palestinians?" What, EXACTLY, have the "Palestinians" done to deserve a state?! Have they shown they can be responsible to their land and people? No. Have they been one of the most corrupt government on the planet? Yes. How is it they deserve a state?!

This is just ridiculous!
