Your link is broken... Sorry. Had to do that.
.
On a more serious note, I would like to say that I am very happy that some of the older members, like whodey and jay, have come back, and I am very...

What they are worried about is simply that the 2 peoples will end up at all-out war, instead of returning to the negotiation table. That's all. I am fairly confident, based on what I know about the...

Yes, but if you notice, the comment within itself was ONLY clarifying my position on the acts of Islamic Jihad, the PRC, and Hamas, and had no bearing on the general Palestinian population. If you...

Like I have said in earlier posts, I am not excusing Israel for the acts of terror, and racism that they continue to perform, and I do believe that the government should be held responsible, and some...

Why would anyone want to jump on Fatah's bandwagon -
they are widely acknowledged to be corrupt, and not representative of the Palestinian people.[/quote]

Hold on a moment before you come up with...

I would like to see this succeed, but also, I would like to see Hamas, IJ, and PRC just jump on Fatah's bandwagon, for once.

Of course Israel can't. Politics is a machine. Assuming the vote does go through, I can't necessarily see Israel downplaying it or ignoring it. I think currently many are in denial, however, that...

@K,
I am just commenting in general, regarding the flow of general conversation on the forum. It isn't just you, nor is it mostly you.

Oh come now! This is the wrong mindset!

I like Al Jazeera very much, because as new information comes up, they reformat their articles in a threadlike way, in order to accurately summarize the entire subject. They also tend to provide...

The other day, I was leading a class discussion on democracy throughout the world. We went over the full spread, touching upon anything from Parliamentary governments to direct democracies (the...

Joe,
By Eugene Rougan, you do mean the author of the book "the Arabs"? I have indeed read it, and found it to be accurate on most accounts, but it is unfortunately, also formatted as a narrative. I...

Where is Khalil? He was a great asset to this forum, and could settle an argument like this even-handedly.

We actually already discussed this. If you remember, one of your beloved and trusted sources claimed that some, even most, of the Palestinians who left,fled because arab armies asked them to get out...

It was my retort to liberaljoe, not to you. I apologize if there was any confusion. The fact is that Joe has accused me of being a apologist for terrorists, and a bigot, on multiple occasions, so I...

Hello all.
I first want to make clear that I do not, and have never condoned the actions of the Irgun and Lehi. They were wrong entirely. I also wanted to note that via the UN partition plan of...

I have opened this as a thread, really to discuss interesting things we've heard as of late; quotes, situations we have been in, etc... They don't necessarily have to do with the issue, although many...

I do respect your opinion, Joe, but you are a little too far to the left for me. I prefer a more centrist, moderate approach; "The Israeli government proves to have many rightist policies, some of...

The general understanding I have is that in some countries, women have to wear them (via custom or law, and mainly in theocracies, in particular, Iran), in others, they wear it because they want to,...

Violet - I simply say that because I am under the belief that No source alone is completely reliable. It has nothing to do specifically with Haaretz. Also, I tried, and could not verify most of the...

I would not claim that "Haaretz" is necessarily a reliable source, but I just thought I'd share this article, as long as we are noting people's opinions of the Statehood Bid. If anyone could help me...

Define "Doing nothing", as this seems to be your central point.

Are you suggesting that anyone's point of view is grounds for them to be forcibly removed from the forum? Fortunately, the privilege of freedom of speech can be easily exercised on the internet. If...

That's right Joe, I forgot that it is the policy of some here to attack others, ad hominem, without knowing who they are and where they stand. Also, I would prefer if you made your points clear and...

Yes, in fact. I believe it would. If it couldn't, it wouldn't be the widely accepted definition, would it?
