Annapolis Conference or The Same Old Song

I've been to busy wallowing in my personal life to listen to news this week. However, the embarrassing Annapolis Conference is under way and it's the usual song and dance: Israel will give the tiny amount of land they have for peace to be further bombarded with rockets from Gaza (and now, with 70% more probability, from the West Bank!). What makes different this time is that they are talking about dividing Jerusalem up, and that is unacceptable. It seems Bush buckled under and decided, like so many others before him, to throw Israel under the bus.

Syrian delegates received warm handshakes and words of thanks from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whose administration has largely shunned Syria since early 2005.

Dividing Jerusalem puts Israeli lives in danger and rewards palestinians (once again) for bad behavior. Look Jerusalem is a holy city for three major religions, the Israeli government treat the holy sites with respect and security. Look there is already a natural divide in Israel, but relinquishing all sovereignty to the palestenians, means that everything will remain the same except that Israel will be more threatened because it won't have the authority to protect itself.

Anyway, if you are as annoyed as I am - you can do the following:

I don't how effective this, but it won't hurt.
