yeah so when you decide to boycott Israeli products make sure you dump the firewalls and any IM software from your computers. and make sure to ditch your beloved cell phones while your at it.

My friend's father was in the Israeli army. They had to get through a narrow road, and an Arab child was cemented to the road. The Arabs had put him there so that either the Israeli's wouldn't be able to get through or they would have to run the boy over. They spent hours cutting him out of the cement.

These are the people we're dealing with. People think if we're nice to the Arab leaders they'll be nice back to us. THIS WAR ISN'T OVER LAND. It's a war of ideaology and religion.

@supersophiexx You did in fact say it was bad in the comment after, but it doesn't matter. I get your point anyway. But again, there's no reason to get into it and people outside of the countries involved generally don't know enough regardless (I'm not saying you specifically, I'm saying most people,) and I have no interest in a discussion because, well, I think it's a boring topic. Nice speaking to you, though. Enjoy your life xx xxx

@aceandalsostuff I never said the regulation was bad, I said 'unfair', and since Palestinian's don't have equal rights to Israeli's I consider that to be the definition of unfair, but, obviously it is a complicated issue in that neither side is blameless or 'innocent'.

[aceandalsostuff]

@supersophiexx As with every government, of course. And yes, this video does fail to acknowledge that, and it's a bit too up its own ass. But I would also argue that whether the regulation of Palestinian zones is "bad" is also entirely up for debate, considering how many lives it has saved. And I'm speaking from the point of view of someone whose sister has the job in the IDF of monitoring a Palestinian zone 24/7 (with other people, of course, they take shifts.)

[supersophiexx]

@aceandalsostuff Of course, but the point I was making was that this video only shows the Israeli side, it makes no attempt to acknowledge that there are bad things the Israeli government does, as well as good things.

[aceandalsostuff]

@supersophiexx Two sides to every issue, my friend.

Thought this video might at least mention the Israel Palestine issue. I bet most people don't know about the way Palestinians are treated in Israel, or the way that Israel unfairly regulates the Palestinian zones to prevent them from becoming self sufficient or independent.
