... to ANSWER's mailing list, and you get the inside scoop on what George Bush is really up to. Learn about the insidious capstone to the Balfour Declaration, and how the current assault in Fallujah is really a massacre designed to cement colonial interests:

In response to the most recent declaration given by President of the United States, George W. Bush, to Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, on April 14, 2004, at the White House, we, the undersigned affirm the full individual and collective inalienable Right to Return of the Palestinian Arab People to their homes, property and land of origin. We assert in no uncertain terms that such a fundamental right is inviolable as it is based on the unbreakable natural belonging of a people to their property and place of origin, as enshrined in international law. Accordingly, we hold that the Palestinian Right to Return is an indispensable obligatory prerequisite for the achievement of any justice and peace.

On November 2, 1917, Great Britain issued the Balfour Declaration that promised Palestine to a European settler colonial movement, amounting to the inevitable dispossession and exile of the Palestinian people. Today, at a time when another Deir Yassin massacre is carried out in Fallujah in an attempt to cement the US occupation of Iraq, the Bush Administration is simultaneously attempting to complete the Balfour project of 1917 by nullifying the Palestinian Right to Return, and by giving an international cover to the creation of a truncated and walled collection of Bantustans that would normalize and legitimize the process of ethnic cleansing.

Recognizing this existential and imminent danger, we stand against this new Balfour Declaration, and reaffirm our unwavering position that the Palestinian Right to Return is an inextricable anchor and prerequisite to full Palestinian self-determination, freedom, and liberty.

No word yet on whether Americans of various races should cede the Continental United States back to American-Indian control. And remember, those anti-war angels at ANSWER want to "bring the troops home." Even though they are committing a "massacre."

Okay, maybe I'm just ignorant, but... what's a Bantustan? I'm not even sure I can guess what that means from context.

Sort of shitty "reservations," like what we did to the Indians: "Here here's a nice piece of arid desert for you to live on. Enjoy!"

The term is of South-African origin.

Ah, yes. That makes sense. It fits in with the whole "the white man can never, ever do anything helpful, virtuous, or good" meme.

Thanks.
