Since 1967, Israel has come under both verbal and physical attack around the world for "occupying" the Gaza Strip. Now that Israel has presented a concrete plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and part of the West Bank, we are now being condemned by the Islamic Conference for that as well!. A case of damned if you do and damned if you don't if ever I saw one....

The Governator has announced that his first official visit outside of the US will be to Israel to attend the ground breaking ceremony for the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem. Ok - I know I shouldn't be excited but as celebrities come, Arnie's pretty high up the list and it's good PR for Israel. With Israel more used to being portrayed as a war zone, to have a huge A-lister visit for a ceremony of this kind can't fail to have a positive spin.
