Only Israel

I have visited Israel.  Have you? Compare the freedom the Israeli Palestinians have there to what Palestinians have in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria or Egypt.  Even if born in those countries—even if their grandparents were—they are not citizens, can’t work, can’t vote, can’t own property.

    Guess you missed some of those educational lectures at LKSD. They may have freedom of worship, but die waiting in a line at a checkpoint because they can't get to the hospital.

    One visit makes an expert?

    The lectures as LKSD were pro-Palestinian and not too good at covering what happens to them in the Arab surrounding countries. Did I claim to be an expert? I visited Marion, Ohio, yesterday and know more about it than I did on Monday.
