4. I've met Ismail
mike ,   san diego   (06.22.06)
when he was giving a speech at our college campus about israel. All the arab students hackled and shouted him down when he described his life in israel, and they were shocked to hear that a Bedouin was supportive and loyal to Israel. I thanked him for coming by and for sharing his experiences with everyone. I hope he has much luck and success with his new assignment.

19. #12: Jewish Ambassador to Arab states
(06.22.06)
Well, at times when Jews were respecting the countries they lived in, Jews had everything. In fact, your glory was when ou lived among Arabs.. Read you history books. When Europe oppressed you and holocausted you, you turned to this region.

KAPARA   (06.22.06)
Hmmmm,....israeli diplomats that are arab and buduin? israeli female doctors that are arabs and beduin? Ellen must have gotten so upset over this that she turned her computer off. My family never had such opportunities in iraq.

(06.22.06)
Go cry somewhere else.
23. to 18. no he's not. he's got brain.
(06.22.06)
instead of making things worse like you, he's making the things better, and yes, he do care about you too. beacause we can see that the only ones who realy do care from you is the israelians, more then yourself . and don't even start to talk about the last acts. beacause you let them do their acts, around your houses, nehigbourhoods, around your childrens, at the roads, and you don't understand that if there won't be an act of terror there won't be an act of the army, instead of learn how to kill us and hate us, learn how to make your lives better, no one will bother you. but as long as you are teaching for hate, and terror, you ar achiving nothing. instaed of making your children smarter, and how to improve their status, by studying a real sucjects, you teaching them how to be dead.
