I also agree there is little to do, and much less chances right now for real change. (that's why I am all for the immigration solution, for me personally, but I don't see the long lines of governments offering visas).<br><br>Again, I don't think you describe what most arabs feel. There is a difference between their propaganda and their realities as well, and I am at least trying not to fall into this mistake. Our government is all too happy to show the terrible stuff written in Arab world against us, to make me scared. I am a recovered Israeli, in this sense, and I don' believe them at all. I did not yet meet even one Arab in my entire life here who was hateful. Some may not like the scene here, but that's totally different than seeing hatred or racial hatred or blind vengence. In fact, I met with Arab people who can see through a lot of crap and make distinctions. I did however meet many many more of my own people who are scared, racists and therefore cruel and obtuse. Many of the people in military positions scare the shit out of me, and I have much less in common with them, even if they are "jewish" or come from my own family. I think they are dead wrong and are dangerous too. But I also see how their power is coming from European/American sources and funding and scams.<br><br>i wasn't always this way, and generally, if one was born and grew up here, there is very slim chance they can "transcend" the Zionist upbringing and conditioning. So, you'd have to know that too.<br>Oh, I personally would be very happy if the US took out all the bombs they gave us and the money too. But then again, this is like asking "what do you feel about the prospects of Martians coming right now to your building." I don't know if this is a useful way to spend time (fantasy, that is). <br>more later<br> <p></p><i></i>

thanks veritas, I can see Eric is not an unbiased person in this discussion. Too bad for him, but I don't think he represents many people, including those he "speaks for " (the vague "arab world" conventiently lumped up together, friends and foes, fascists and communists and what not). <br> <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3158442,00.html">www.ynetnews.com/articles...42,00.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>Some good news ! just this moment, reported that Syrians rescued ISraeli yacht in Cypruss.<br><br> There are indeed many smart people through history who were antisemitic, and there are even more of those smart people who said and wrote horrible stuff about women (schoppenhauer, nitzche and king solomon...just off hand), it made me very confused as a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>young</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> person. So, Eric suspects Jews and admits he never met one.

He just doesn't think conspiracy theories add to those arguments. <br><br> <br><br>In his documentary "Protocols of Zion," Levin explores two beliefs - one old, one relatively new - fueling anti-Semitism: Jews have a master plan known as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" to rule the world, and no Jews died during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. <br> <br><br>Levin wants to get to those people who subscribe to those theories so much that he welcomed Malik Zulu Shabazz , a black nationalist leader known for his anti-Semitic views, to a recent screening. <br> <br><br>"My film is a journey into the face of, into the heart of, hate," Levin said. "I want to show the film on the West Bank, I want the film shown in Indonesia ... " <br> <br><br>Levin, whose 1998 dramatic film "Slam" won awards at the Cannes and Sundance film festivals, was inspired to pursue the project in the days after the 2001 attacks, when an Egyptian immigrant cabbie told him Jews had been warned and that it was all written in the "Protocols." <br> <br><br>Mayor Bloomberg<br><br> <br><br>Historians have long dismissed the document, which originated about 100 years ago, as a forgery concocted by Russian leaders. But throughout <br>the Middle East and other parts of the world, many still believe it's authentic. Levin's film, which opens October 21, is at times deeply personal and surprising. <br> <br><br>He talks to white supremacists, Palestinian Americans, Christian evangelicals, and various Jews including supporters of Israel who have no sympathy for Arabs. Levin's father accompanies him for much of the foray. <br> <br><br>In one scene, a handful of black people question and denounce Jewish power, and point out that the current mayor of New York, Mike Bloomberg, is a Jew. When Levin responds that the previous mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, wasn't, one of the men rebuts by yelling, "Jew-liani! Jew-liani!" <br> <br><br>Levin, who describes himself as "not religious but raised with Jewish heritage, culture and tradition," offers <br>up the claims about the "Protocols" authenticity while also debunking them. <br><br> <br><br>The film also shows the many Jewish names among the victims of the September 11 attacks and, in one of its most powerful scenes, features an interview with the wife of one of those victims. <br> <br><br>What seems to unite most of the anti-Jewish voices in the film is a sense of oppression and a need to blame someone for it. <br><br> <br><br>Not just fear<br><br> <br><br>"It's just not fear and ignorance, obviously that's where hate begins," Levin said. "There are a lot of <br><br>intelligent people, a lot of people who are confused and there are a lot of people who suspect they don't know the real story, and on that I empathize with them." <br><br> <br><br>Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center praised Levin for tackling a sensitive subject. <br> <br><br>"Maybe somewhere along the line the hatred and verbal terrorism will be shaken," said Cooper, who was <br>interviewed in the documentary and participated in a panel discussion after the recent screening. <br><br> <br><br>But the movie and subsequent confab failed to convince the most skeptical people in the audience. <br> <br><br>"The film was informative, but I believe unbalanced," said Shabazz, head of the New Black Panther Party. (Both he and his group are considered anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center .) <br> <br><br>He went on to say Jews owed blacks reparations for their role in the slave trade, that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians and that the Talmud was racist toward blacks. <br> <br><br>Levin told Shabazz he wasn't trying to resolve every dispute, but rather to get rid of the "garbage" of conspiracy theories.<br> <br><br>(10.16.05, 12:55)<br><br> <br> <br> <br>SOmething I just saw, not new though, but informative. <p></p><i></i>

I stand by all of it, you'll have to make a case for me being misled, not just pronunce it like a five year old emulating their parents.<br><br>israelirealities<br><br>What did your Arab friends do in 1948, 1967 and 1973 ? I'll give you a clue, it wasn't rescuing Jews. <p></p><i></i>

It seems you are almost happy to see war in the region. I think your Arabs sources are feeding you with what you want to hear, and apparently they are smart (er than me, arguing with you, gosh) <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I don't have to prove anything to you, Eric.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> I know where I am, and who my friends are, that's enough for me. <br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I think you are correct.
