I briefly looked at it and it seemed one-sided. I dont think anyone is going to be impressed just because its written by Jews.

Did you have any other specific criticism, other than the ethnicity of the writers ?

Sorry, replied to wrong person.

One-sided because it doesn't support the Zionists? Perhaps more than a brief view is worthy.

Like I said I briefly looked at it. I didn't give it much of my time. Better sources out there.

I've spent a lot of time researching this issue and I have no misconceptions of whats going on over there

What gets me is that a lot of Palestinian supporters like WOM only want to blame Israel and will not admit that a lot of the middle-eastern countries are using the Palestinian people as tools to get rid of Israel. You do realize that this one of the biggest problems in this whole conflict don't you? I feel for the Palestinian people(well the ones that arn't strapping bombs to kids)but dam all the focus is on Israel with most Muslims. I know Israel isn't perfect but until Muslims want to take a honest look at this problem I don't see it ever going away.

Convenient logic in order to ignore the problem, because, well, they are just Muslims, and Muslim are all the same, and they brought this upon themselves.

That was not my logic. You are free to go back and read all that I have posted on this subject. Nice try though.

It seems to me Israel has had the upper hand in clearing out the Muslim population out of their homes, so I am not sure what problem you think they need to address.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Kind of. To Arabs it was always Southern Syria though, or whatever Southern Syria was at a given time, and the 'Palestinian' people would have self-identified as Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Egyptian etc depending on what they were calling themselves at any given time. There were references to the area as 'Palestine' but no autonomous nation called "Palestine."

None of which means there shouldn't be a Palestinian nation, but it should be noted for context.

Like I said you only want to address part of the problem. This has been my biggest problem when debating with Muslims on this topic.

Garbage. If you really want to win the minds and hearts of people just to be totally honest with them and quit it with this one-sided nonsense.

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It is the same for you.  You are only addressing part of the problem. You fail to acknowledge why they are reacting this way to the Israelis. Edited July 4, 2011 by Golden Gate

We have two desperate groups of people.

Again.... can you come up with any specific point at all here ? You have not refuted one single thing.

BTW, if you were even in the slightest way familiar with or knowledgeable about leading contemporary Palestinian political voices, you would know that Dr. Mustafa Barghouti is hardly a "garbage" source.
