And how Britain displaced 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 in order to mandate a Jewish state (Israel) for the Jewish people?

What, had the Jewish come to one of our states and made it their own country, we'd still be their staunch supporters? Didn't think so.

(Not to say that they had anywhere else to go... But still, the fact that Israel is basically illegal seems to be completely disregarded by the West).

What is your honest take (besides that all liberals should hang and that Palestinians are Muslim so who cares about what we do with them)?

Is it because they have a nuke? And they don't threaten us with it because we give them a degree of respect/friendship that we rarely give anyone in the Middle East? Even as AlQueda is having a picnic all over their wild outdoors...

So is it any wonder Iran wants a nuclear?

My grandparents are having trouble with gangs hanging out in front of their house(they have a condo, so in the parking lot). They called police but they said they cannot do anything until they prove tey are doing something. Like she (my grandmother) called to say they were selling drugs, but the cops said unless they actually see them doing it, they can't do anything.

The cops have time to wit on the side of the road to give people speeding tickets but they can't do that. And i wish to be a lawyer in the future, so any advice on how to handle cases, or think up defenses for seemingly impossible to defend things, i would really appreciate it.

There were an awful lot of people here saying that, after the UK attacks recently, we had every right to know the personal details of the people who were allegedly involved. (I'm not on about the people caught at the scene, obviously, I'm talking about people who were suspected to be linked with it.) Many also said that the suspects should have been thrown in jail asap... without waiting for the facts.

Well, what do you say now, having read this?
"The case against Dr Haneef came under question after prosecution evidence made in a previous hearing was disputed. Prosecutors had claimed that the doctor's SIM card had been found in the burning car that crashed into Glasgow international airport on 30 June. But it later emerged the card had actually been found in a flat in Liverpool, some 300km (185 miles) from Glasgow, where his cousin lived. " http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pa...

Still think that we should know all the details before any guilt is established?

Hugo Chavez announced on Sunday that foreigners who publicly criticize his government will be deported. He ordered officials to monitor statements made by international figures visiting the country.

But I guess it was OK for him to come to the U.S. and critisize Bush?. He can dish it out but he can't take it. How sad.

in an attempt to put him above accountability, for their actions.

the peope in here and other forums showed the media, that the vast majority of people, still wanted them to be held to account, hence they are now asking the questions, they should have been asking from day one, because the media know that their sales wont drop, but increase.
I say this is true, so to all who have justice in mind for Madeleine, and ask these questions, well done, you have helped in finding the truth for the only victim in this case.

That

a) They only seem to remember it almost 3 months later despite Murat having been on the news only days after her disappearance and pretty much nearly every day since then.

b) If they saw him 'peeking' into the apartment, they chose to do nothing about it. Seriously if you saw a strange man peeking into the apartment, would you just carry on and let your friends keep their children in their unlocked apartment? What kind of friends are these to allow this to happen?

c) They claim they would recognise him anywhere, yet did not notice him despite the fact he was always around the media acting as a translator for days after her disappearance.

d) That it took a reporter to voice her suspicions of Robert Murat before he was taken in for questioning by the Police. The McCann friends said nothing for almost 3 months about Robert Murat, now suddenly its a certainty in their minds???

It seems that the McCanns local newspaper has been inundated with letters and emails regarding the couples 'apparent' neglect of their three children and calls for the couple to be investigated.

Now the newspaper has said that they are ignoring all of these letters and emails (which apparently are in there hundreds) and treating them as part of a 'hate campaign'.

Surely as a newspaper, they have a duty to print a balanced story of both sides?....

How can expressing an opinion be treated as hate campaign?

From The Sun.

"THE main suspect in the Madeleine McCann kidnap case “peeked” into her apartment the night she was snatched, Algarve cops have been told.

Dr Fiona Payne, a friend of the McCann family, said she saw Robert Murat looking into the flat in Praia da Luz.

Her claims came after Murat, 33, was hauled in for questioning by cops on July 10 and formally confronted by the McCanns’ pals in a bid to assist identification."

However - the article then continues to mention

"Cops said Murat’s alibi was backed by other statements."

Notice the pluralisation of statements. Previously we have always been led to believe that only his mother backed up his alibi that night. So where are these other statements coming from then? Why haven't they been publicised?

And more importantly in this whole case, why NOW do they remember seeing Robert Murat 'peeking' into the apartment?

Im telling you, next they will have claimed to see him killing Madeleine.

I hate hearing people call others cowards because they support the war in Iraq (or any war for that matter) but aren't in any branch of military. This seems so foolish to me, as anyone can support a war but it takes a certain kind of person to put their life on the line for their country. They're not cowards to me, they just don't possess what it takes to be a soldier/sailor/guardsman. What do you think?

You always hear "Shiites vs Sunnis" on the news and nearly all of us know the difference between them. Do you think this is the case for Iraqis regarding democrats and republicans? Do they know about the clashes between our political parties? Or do they just pretty much see us all as Americans?

" Bill Clinton also often weighs in with ideas on the Middle East. But during his two terms he passed up an offer from Sudan to hand over bin Laden. Shortly afterwards, the terrorist openly threatened us: “To kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim.” "
