FUCK ISRAEL!!!

[bixby2000]

No. What happened in dec-january simply proved (if needed, as only hypocrits can pretend not knowing) what it means to be a Palestinian. What it means, living under the control of an enemy who absolutely doesn't care to harm, torture or kill you, even if according to Fourth Geneva Conventions, a population under occupation must be protected by PROTECTIVE POWERS. As WE are all guilty of not playing our role of protection for the Palestinians at the hands of a caracterial warden, we all must act !

what is it with everyone harping on gaza. there are bigger problems in other places of the world too.

you can have school almost anywhere. i know you need a specified area, but shouldn't Palestinians get decent homes first?

I do agree with you on one thing, whilst I sympathise with the Palestinians I would also like to see more coverage about the life of Israeli's- I don't know why there aren't as many videos or coverage on this issue, maybe because AJ is restricted in Israel but I think they should try and present a more balanced argument- however AJ is still one of the best reporting out there, they cover so many areas geographically, politically and socially- great journalism which albeit could be better

As will the the racists,bigots trolls and lurkers on Both sides. Either way, it turns This agency into a one way street and a propaganda organ. I was one of their 1st subscribers when they opened the profile. They were selling themselves as a forum where ideas could be discussed. Now, they are nothing but an outlet for anti-Israelis-Western hatred. No Balance.

[as2711]

Im perfectly aware of the hypocrisy of some (if not most) of the leaders in the Muslim world- Durban 2 has become a pantomime, with Israel at the centre stage- when in fact it should actually be about people who suffer discrimination in the WHOLE world- including Muslims, Jews, Christians etc. The point of contention with AJ's comment disabling is that their videos have become platforms of hate and not platforms of discussion, those wishing to debate issues will find other outlets i'm sure

[wideawake123]

Yes but they will have to do so on another forum. Open and free debates are against the policy of AJ. As for Western perception of Israel, I only speak for me, but on that note, I wonder if you were aware that today 4/21/09 as Ahmadinejad was ranting about Israel's "racist government", almost all of the Western delegates got up and left the room.

[as2711]

your opinion does not only oppose those held by the extreme ideologies in the ME it is also something which alot of people in the West also disagree with- you don't need to try and alienate both culture's perceptions of Israeli policy, you might be suprised to find out that MANY people of many religions share a common shock and disgust with the actions of both the IDF and Hamas- not all of us blindly support one side, some intelligent people are prepared to open their minds

[wideawake123]

IMHO, it has more to do with something else entirely. I personally find trolls and the like indentify themselves with their 1st comments. The whole voting thing is a joke too. You probably down voted my comment before you responded to it...Why vote a comment out of existance? I say let everyone have their say. For that, and my opinion, which differs from the Arab/Muslim paradigm, I'm attacked too. Free and open debate is a good thing. Clear voices are heard above the din of trolls and bigots.
