Not reparenm in English ... smiles
I'm new to the site, I hope to be able to help.
Is that when talking of women, we are not talking about us men, the final, surely we are talking about human beings, the value of a human being as a whole.

I hope you can find something humorous in this column in today's Jerusalem Post on the wife of the incoming prime minister of Japan saying she has traveled to Venus?

Essentially, a Miss Universe contest entails parading women around for men all over the world. It is interesting to watch, sure, but some feminists and religious people have problems with it. I, personally, don't really care eithe rway, but I thin...
All I can add is that when I took the tour Breaking the Silence provided in July the young men who had served in teh Jewish military confirmed that their role was to protect the settlers NOT the Palestinians. I respect these young people for "brea...
Hi Basil,
I think that several times I have acknowledged here that some Palestinians were expelled in 1947/8.
The love-fests between 1929 and 1936 against Jews Hillel mentioned above are only some of the similar events from that time. To the bes...
Ray,
When did Jews start to attack Palestinians?
Hillel knows the history of attacks against jews and closes his mind to the history of Jews attacking Palestinians ... that's the tragedy of israel. Blinders when it comes to their atrocities, denial and counterclaims. I have never heard an Israel...
Blackwater USA is a terrorist organization and the news exposes on their actions are so common and available ... they are mercenaries killers ... low life scum ... your friend laughed because he knows in his heart how true it is ... look it up onl...

Palestinian activists cut their noses off to spite what's left of their face
Here's a letter I received from "Daoud"
It pretty much explains the insanity of some of the Palestinian activists in the United States who know how to say "No" but can't say yes to anything except their own failure:
# # # #
I don't support the Israeli labor party.
Do you support the Israeli labor party?
It is the party that is led now by Ehud Barak, the Israeli defense (war) minister.
It is the party of David Ben-Gurion, who gave the orders to ethnically cleanse
the Land of Palestine of its… Continue

Campaign to help Palestinian member of Knesset exposes problems facing peace
I knew I would open up a hornets nest with this one: I am organizing a benefit to support Nadia Hilou, a Palestinian Israeli Christian Woman member of the Knesset in her re-election bid ... with a comedy show featuring the Infidels of Comedy, the Christian Arab Comedy group I organized to help promote an awareness of Arab Christians in the United States.
And of course, I am getting calls from some Palestinians who say I am a "traitor" for supporting the Labor Party.
They always know what they… Continue

You have to join the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour GROUP to call me names
Hey everyone. Join the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy tour blog and you can post there and I will answer. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
I was in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic the past 10 days and while there it was funny that there was a huge mix of people. Russia. French. Polish. Some Americans. And, Me, the lone Palestinian, and a dozen Israelis and French Jews. I spent most of my time kibbitzing with the Jews and Israelis. We had a blast researching Cuban Cigars -- I didn't smoke them… Continue

Not that enthusiastic about the so-called peace proposal
It's always so depressing. And it just gets worse. Buidling walls may slow down violence between two peoples but it won't stop it. Peace will.
So Israel has proposed a peace plan to the Palestinians. The Israeli government wants to keep all of the major settlements in the West Bank and the land on the Israeli side of the Wall -- remember when everyone said the Wall wasn't permanent. It can be torn down. Don't worry! It's just an effort to stop violence and bring about peace.
Yea, right! It's a… Continue

Max S said… - Hi there Ray. It's you! I heard about you on the BBC. Are you going to come to London? I think you should. I had a look at your website today. Anyway, I am really glad you joined. Yeah, you are right some people do treat this website as their psychiatrist's couch and kick off but mepeace.org will change and become more organised. I am helping to organise the Peace Cafe in Beit Jala if you are ever in the Middle East we must have one when you are there. Cheers. Max.

I encourage you to continue the positive work that you do. Please keep in touch via e-mail if you so chose as my time on this site is over.

- Thanks everyone. I wanted to "lurk" and learn about MEPeace.org's "customs" ... I don't think people should barge in and just start doing whatever ... it's respectful to observe, learn and then contribute, (more contribute and less confront). I do a lot of writing now with HuffingtonPost.com, Arabisto.com and MidEastYouth.com. I try to post original comments or write new about the same topics, sometimes and will try to be more active here. Anyway, I hope the next time the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour comes through Israel and parts of Palestine, we can connect.

I agree Oliver. It is interesting that honest attempts at communication are often greeted in places like this with jeers and patronising and derogatory presumptions about the perceived other's "real" intentions.
Yes, Paul, communication is crucial indeed. "Simplistic slogans" won't help in the long term, that's clear. But honest and clear communication requires courageousness on all sides. Slogans are, in my view, often (as you also imply above) an 'indiv...
Neri is right in pointing to the "root causes of the action". What is defined as 'terror' has diverse such root causes - religion/religious fundamentalism being one of them. And yes, Ahmed, fundamentalisms exist in a plethora of religions - Christ...

It's actually a reflection of the Israeli religious ministry which serves to uphold the dominance of Judaism in Israel. In that respect it's not much different than most middle eastern countries.
Terror is what one side call the violent action of the other side, defining any one as terrorist just disable us from practically access the root causes of the action and provide non violent solution.
