Lieberman heckled at Arab American political conference
Lieberman heckled at Arab American political conference

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Lieberman was heckled Friday by several Arab Americans angry with his support for Israel as he spoke about restoring peace and trust in the Middle East.

"What about the wall?" shouted several attending the Arab American Institute leadership conference as they interrupted Lieberman's speech. The reference was to Israel's plan to build a barrier that juts into the West Bank

Lieberman, who is Jewish, insisted the wall is temporary.

Lieberman blamed the lack of progress toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians on the failures of the Bush administration. He received applause for some of his comments, including his calls for tolerance and unity.

Militarization of the US/Mexico border link:

EDIT: It is to stretch the entire border with few regulated openings and is made from retired aircraft carrier rails (if this is the correct term for what the airplanes fly take off from).

SECOND EDIT: The Israeli wall is taller than the Berlin wall ever thought about being ..

5. I was going to try to say something nice about Liberman today,
But the wall is "temporary?"

Until when, Uncle Joe? until when? Until the Palestinians great-great-grandkids finally re-occupy Palestine?

That mumbling stuttering prick.
