By the way, what is a "jewish war jet"? I never knew aircraft to profess any religion. I suppose it is any jet whose mother was Jewish. I find this choice of words revealing. It puts quite a damper on the "I only dislike Zionists" canard. > 3) Since you appraise [sic] so much US support to Israel, without which, > Israel could not exist MILITARILY nor ECONOMICALLY (this is also a > FACT), I do not understand why you are so insensed by the > information concerning the refueling of israeli jets.

One reason that certain parties insist this refueling took place is to denigrate the image of Israel as military capable of such an act. Obviously friends of Israel would not applaud this. Would you applaud charges that the Cardinals had bribed the World Series umpires just because you were a Cardinals' fan???!! andy lazarus
