  • PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW:Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so! Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts, as we love Israel with all of ours.! Let's teach each other how to win non-zero sum games. We are both great nations-let us never forget this!Let us nurture peace with both our enemies and our friends, and recognize that they are a mirror...reflecting light unto the nations.

  • The continuous applause and pandering to the crowd is embarrassing.

  • tunisia, egypt, oman etc. blah blah blah and women are still treated as second class citizens by their misogynist, backward women hater culture.

  • surely everyone knows that the problems in the Middle East and elswhere, start with Islam and end with Islam.

    Nice to see J street is being exposed for the frauds that they are

    go Israel !

  • fucking bitch to even acknowledge these zionists exist!

  • what a dumb rant

  • Is this the same whore who is spewing shit about bieng rapped in cairo by the riot police?!!!!

Now, there is talk that Syrian Regime does what Israel tells them to - not too long ago, it was about something/someone else. Propaganda takes all forms, and this is being used for more hurtful reasons. I am happy to see Egypt trying to do something for themselves. Democracy is not perfect - but a chance

  • It just isn't all about Israel, here - there is a time that Palestine has to define who they will be. Tons of inter fighting in Palestine. It has been going on for a long time.

Egypt's uprising was about Egypt. cont
