1. Must be hard to be Palestinian
(06.23.05)
It seems that the only racism that is allowed, is against Arabs . I see some cartoons/ caricatures against Arab stereotypes and they are like the cartoons that the Nazis used on the jews, when stereotyping jewish traits--Israel openly discriminates against Arabs- under the guise of security threat, I guess, but its more then that- I think the racism that Israel was based on- as a jewish only country (well throw in a few Arabs/ christians for looks- but not too many-) created this whole conflict. -Bad foundation- to privelege only one race of people. Its racism.
2. If Israel is a racist country...

Then there must be something as a Jewish race. Last time that idea was popular was about 60 years ago. We all know how that ended. If Israel is a racist country then they really suck at being racists. What kind of Jewish racist would allow other non-Jewish races to join the Jewish race? Yet you can convert to judaism. There is even a German convert living in Gush Katif and an Arab convert in Kiryat Arba. When a black man can convert to the white race and become a member of the Klu Klux Klan then indeed Israel is a racist country. Since there is no Jewish race Israel by definition is not a racist country. We discriminate against arabs as much as the EU discriminates against non-EU members. Belgians can't vote in Holland and Romanians can't work in France. Is that racism too or just the way nation-state's function? Why exactly are we using 'the guise of security threat'? Are we making the suicide bombers up? Did we kill 1000 Israeli's ourselves? Why don't you update Hamas and tell them all their succesfull martyrdom operations are actually figments of a Jewish paranoid imagination. It's about time you accept the truth of our position as equally true as your own. Palestinians exist. We liberated our land but occupied a people. Ariel Sharon himself said so not too long ago. Go on and curse him, drag him off the criminal court if you like, but he speaks the truth. We have accepted that the Palestinians exist. As you can read here some Palestinian's have done the same regarding Israel, now it's your turn.
