    You forgot to mention the type who support self-determination for all nations. In the U.S. I'm not sure most people even know what or where Palestine is. They are just told about the Terrorists trying to murder the "poor Jews". I'm no hater of Jews. I actually love Jewish culture (especially the cuisine), but love for the Jewish people (which in most people is more guilt or sympathy than love) is no excuse for allowing Israel to kill Palestinians.

    edit: I forgot to mention the Hipster types. The ones who wear Chinese manufactured Keffiyeh and call themselves radicals while never doing anything but sitting in Starbucks.

    Al Jazeera is probably one of the least-biased media outlets around..It's certainly better than the Israeli papers which describe hordes of unwashed barbarians with IEDs aimed at Jerusalem.

    so thats what hapened in jaffa right ? acre ? Jerusalem ? we raided your "perfectly legal cities" ? poor jews ... you did nothing .... nothing at all.... its us warmongering arabs that keep making conspiracies to hurt israel and cut water and electricity off so you can suffer as long as possible
    Ehm, no one has said the Jews are without guilt. Fact is that it was the Arabs who refused to accept the Division of Palestine. Now we can always discuss whether the plan was good or bad, but it was the Arabs who started the war.

    What history books do you read that claim we simply waltzed into Palestine and took over all the Arab land and possesions? A History of Palestine by Ahmed Jewhater? There were a few isolated incidents of Jewish terrorism, but you actually think all the Palestinian blogs that claim we orderedall of them to leave at gun point are true?

    I support an independant state for Palestine, and so did the Zionist leaders of the early 20th century. They could have had self determination but they chose not to.

    Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water.

    The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.
    Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.

    They did. ´

    The British Mandate over Palestine was due to expire on 15 May, but Jewish leadership led by Ben-Gurion declared independence on 14 May (because 15 May was a Shabbat). The State of Israel declared itself as an independent nation, and was quickly recognized by the United States, Iran, the Soviet Union, and many other countries. Within hours, Arab forces invaded the infant state. In an official cablegram from the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States to the UN Secretary-General on 15 May 1948, the Arab states publicly proclaimed their aim of creating a "United State of Palestine", in place of the Jewish and Arab, two-state, UN Plan.
    So, what's next? Claiming that Poland started WW2?

    And the Jews were completely innocent of doing the same as well. /sarcasm.
    Please stop with "Oh, we were just legally buying land!" bull, don't pretend this was anything other than modern colonialism. You're familiar with the Balfour declaration, don't act like you're not.

    I've yet to see a TWC Israeli other than Roy, offer an intelligent argument. All I ever hear from the rest is how Palestine doesn't/shouldn't exist and how the poor little Jews were surrounded and attacked by bloodthirsty, anti-semitic Arabs.

    Really? I have never heard of it.
    Probably because I'm an evil colonialist Israeli, though, but nevermind that.

    No I did not, they are indeed a nation and have been so since late Ottoman times.
    I don't see why this means the Arabs didn't start the conflict. Nor why the Balfour decleration was imperialistic, and how it concerns the Jews who legally bought land in Palestine.

    Not all Jews are bourgeoise, and hating Jews because of a generalisation is anti-Semitism. Saying this has nothing to do with religious/ethnic hate is like saying the Nazis weren't anti-semetic because thought all Jews were parasites. Not that I'm comparing Venezuela to Nazi Germany, of course, it's just an analogy.

    Its the flag of Hejaz

    and no we arent brainwashed, you are the enemy and we hate you, nothing is wrong with that, also how about you look at YOURS and USA's propaganda ? that one is alot more effective and its also allowed all over the world unlike our "propaganda" which is banned from many coutnries especially european ones

    theres no other point of view for me, your nation is the scum of the earth and I dont see how anyone can justify what it does... you should stop crying about arab governments kicking jews out because they didnt, america and israel "smuggled" jews from iraq and yemen, you cant deny that

    Quoted and sigged for idioticy. Is this really what you believe happend?
    EDIT: Not all countries in the Mid-East are Yemen and Iraq. They were smuggled in becuase the governments did something much worse than expel them - they kept them from leaving and unleased all their fury at the Jewish state onto them.

They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows.
    The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region—walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters.
    The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north.
    Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and around Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.
