Of interest and related ...
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satelli...=1138622572920 (teaser) "The former archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday he was "ashamed to be an Anglican" following Monday's vote by the Church of England to disinvest from companies whose products are used by the Israeli government in the territories. " Wonder if they'll do the same to Hamas and Iraq etc.?

Every time I see the title of this thread, I get a visual of Israel and Palestine in bed together, making love, and Israel remembering to "pull out" before accidentally getting Palestine pregnant. Is that bad?

Maybe subconciously you think that the Palastinians are being screwed by Israel.

I saw you posted here, inked, and I was going to make some comment like that ... but you beat me to it!
You should know! ah well ... you guys will never know the joys of pregnancy and childbirth! (I'll never forget that nurse telling me to push - I felt like yelling back at her, "No, I think I'll just stop and have tea instead!" or something like that)
