Israel is a racists apartheid country No renting to non-jews Christian baptisms forbidden Jew no legally allowed to marry nonjews Separate roads Different judicial systems Denial of infrastructure to nonjew communities Denial of social service to nonjew communities.

How such self-serving tripe is actually published in as so-called "reputable" paper is astonishing. Perhaps an article by a Palestinian asking whether or not he likes Israeli military occupation should be in order. Unfortunately, that article would never be published is this excuse for a newspaper.

And we take it further SEPARATE Economic and Social Development from Statehood Negotiations We cannot let the slower pace of Statehood Negotiations dictate the pace of our Economic Progress And it does require an OPEN and TRANSPARENT cooperation with Israel and a different culture and mindset that says to our kids ON BOTH SIDES - IT OK ITS GOOD ITS POLITICALLY CORRECT to cooperate, trade and socialise with each other And neither can we ANYMORE allow others with other sinister agendas and motives influence or dictate as they have done in the past what is good or not for Palestinians. We must make our OWN decisions with confidence and lucidity for what is in OUR NATIONAL INTEREST
