Those Whistling Dixie In 1865 Didn't Believe In A One State Solution USA_1 Dec 2011 #94

Yours is a pro-war position. The vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians... shira Dec 2011 #95

The vast majority of Palestinians would favor a one-state solution. bemildred Dec 2011 #96

Not a secular state... shira Dec 2011 #97

Don't change the subject. bemildred Dec 2011 #98

FYI, about the majority of Palestinians wanting sharia rule under a dictatorship... shira Dec 2011 #99

Do they keep lists of those obscure 30-year-old polls somewhere handy for when they are needed? bemildred Dec 2011 #101

The point is, most Israelis and Palestinians are against one secular state. n/t shira Dec 2011 #102

''help the rich'' USA_1 Dec 2011 #57

What I mean is that the right-wing think that the rich should have untrammeled rights to make money LeftishBrit Dec 2011 #60

Ironic. Avigdor Lieberman is not even close to being as extreme as Ron Paul. n/t shira Dec 2011 #61

I would agree with that - but then neither is Genghis Khan LeftishBrit Dec 2011 #62

''untrammeled rights to make money '' USA_1 Dec 2011 #63

As Ruby's already said, Ha'aretz is anything but an extreme RW source... Violet_Crumble Dec 2011 #44

Arutz sheva isn't merely a RW source. It's extremely bigoted Violet_Crumble Dec 2011 #31
