i'm ashamed to be israeli nowdays

MEANWHILE, Israel, so short on HONEST history, has pilfered Palestinian history and is whoring it as GREAT JEWISH ARTIFACTS from ancient times at the ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM in Toronto starting Sept. Now who is pathetic? This show is from the Tanenbaum family who paid for the creation of Canada Park in Israel at the cost of 3 Arab villages. Now Who is Pathetic?

French may be arrogant, but they sometimes can be.

How can Israel do such an irresponsible thing?

I understand better the leitmotiv "No peace without justice"

I am ashamed that the US supports a political system that is so repressive.

If you're country is France, you have reason to be proud in this case.
