better than have plastic surgery to make your ears look vulcan... and yes, its been done O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i don't like to wave the "antisemitic" flag. the UN in its current structure is simply not balanced in most cases. more than 50 muslim countries, and most of the others don't really care and go with the flow. after awhile you don't really care what the UN says, because you know that no matter how one sided and untrue it might be it would still be accepeted. i remember one time when the syrian claimed in the general assembly that Israelis drink the blood of christian children... you can laugh about it, or you can cry about it, but you cant really take a group of clowns like those as an imparcial judge... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

your post very much proves the opposite of your point. the way it is built and operates, the UN is simply not and can't be a relevant nor fair judge of things. 21 members of the UN are Arab countries, and at least 52 members represent Islamic countries. starting with a few simple facts: -The Arab nations are represented by 21 separate countries, israel is 1. -Of the 189 member nations , 188 may be elected to serve on the powerful Security Council, guess who can't.... and while: -Head of Human Rights commission: Lybia -Head of Disarmament: Iraq (recently) -a member if the security council : Syria the UN seems like a joke... here are some statistics from 1946-1990: Security Council: 175 Total Resolutions 74 Neutral 4 Against the perceived interests of an Arab state or body 97 Against Israel General Assembly: Cumulative Number of Votes cast with/for Israel: 7,938. Cumulative Number of Votes cast against Israel: 55,642 How about we take a look at the Human rights commission (currently headed by lybia..) *Israel has been the only state subject to an entire agenda item every year. *The Commission on Human Rights has spent more time on Israel than any other country. The Commission spent two days criticizing Israel and less than two hours on AIDS *While 11 percent of its total substantive meeting has been on Israel alone, 24 percent of its time has been spent on all other UN states combined. *27 percent of its country- specific resolutions critical of a state have been on Israel alone. The real double standards? No resolution in the history of the commission has ever been passed on states such as Syria, China, Saudi Arabia or Zimbabwe. other UN contributions: 1956: Permitted Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal 1967: Secretary-General U Thant withdrew UN peace- keeping forces from Gaza 1974: Invited Terrorist Yasser Arafat to address the General Assembly (long before the Oslo process started) 1975: Adopted the infamous resolution equating Zionism with racism 2000: UNIFIL obstructed investigation of Hezbollah kidnapping of Israeli soldiers 2001: Sponsored the anti-Israel World Conference on Racism in Durban, South Africa if thats not enough, there are endless examples. to make a long story short, the Majority is NOT always right, especially when the judge is one sided. the sad thing is that not only Israel suffers, who suffer more are those who really need the UN around the world and don't get its attention...

Hi ppl whats the best cost effective firewire/dv editor card ? i'll have a few hours to do some shopping on my way to NYC so i'll stop in a circuit city/best buy or something like that... and one last thing, firewire cards and DV software dont mind if my cam is NTSC or PAL, right ? thanks O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i'll state the simple facts: 1516-1918 Ottoman Empire (Turks) 1918-1948 British Mandate (after the whole region was divided by the frech/british Sikes-Picot agreement) i'm not saying there weren't arabs here, but there was no palestine. the closest thing there was is Jordan rulling of the west bank. i'll be more than happy to see such an ID. what you might have is Jordanian/british or ottoman. (and my family have ottomanic doccuments showing ownership over property in Hebron) i mean school text books, from which children absorb things. what i meant is that the EU should check what its money is used for. but if you insist, yes i have a problem getting lectured by nations who have conquered lands on the other side of the planet and robbed their national resources for decades (beligium in kongo, french in algeria, tunisia and so on) i'm 25 "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

britain: in the Balfour declaration .November 2, 1917 long before WW2 and hitler's other idea for a solution. no, the area was called palestine (historically named after another civilization that has nothing to do with todays arabs) there was never a palestinian state instead of /next toisrael , besdie jordan which majority is "palestinians" the fact is that they've become a "nation" due to historic events and becasue neither jordan nor egypt wanted these lands back. no one is forcing you to reply. your post was full of historic mistakes. my solution? 2 countries side by side. and thats the accepted solution, the difference is where would the borders of these countries be . but as long as their (EU funded) school books educate to hate, and people who incite terror walk free, this dream is still a dream. and trust me when i tell you that most Israelis have no desire to be in Palestinian cities. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

ok , a short history lesson if you don't mind: wrong, the whole region was controlled by britain (what is now israel and jordan) and france (syria and lebanon). after WW2 it was decided to divide the country into two, the jewish settlement agreed to this plan, and the arab didnt. they've attacked, and lost. there was no palestine before 1967. today "palestinians" were in fact jordanians and the west bank was jordaninan until 1967. skipping, as you've said " few years where the Arabs in the regions tried to take out Israel", during 93-99 there was a peace process, which almost led to a palestinian state. there was no israeli army, no martial law no NOTHING. most of the plaestinians were living under palestinian rule. but when ever they didnt get all they wanted in negotiations terror would start. they were talking and in the background arming themselves with wepaons they werent allowed to have. and just so you know, my family is originally from Hebron, after 36-39 they had to leave there home and move to Tel-Aviv because of arab riots there. terror is their favourite way for more than 100 years. before Isreal was even established. the problem is their current leaders which have been terrorists for decades, see diplomacy as a weakness and use it to gain as much as they can while not giving up terror. i'm sorry, i'm not willing to negotiate with someone who's way of thinking is "give me what i want or i'll blow up school busses. you want to be a civilized country? start by being civilized. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

too bad April fools is over. could be one hell of a practical (and terminal) joke... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

first of all , i didn't mean you personally. i don't know you nor your life story. what i meant is that people look at things differently and in a VERY simplictic way, and here is an example: awhile ago there was an incident of soldiers shooting at a civilian car, after the driver refused to stop. or a civilian car, stopped and the people asked for help, when the soldiers came to help them it blew up killing several. when the above happened in israel , the world was quick to place the blame. sadly, the same have happened in Iraq to US soldiers, several were killed when offering help to a civilian car which exploded. no one in the car looked any different from a civilian. its much easier to fight an army with an army, you know who to shoot at. when the other side is terrorism in civilian clothes, you can't wait until a person blow up next to you... "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

just some food for thought... 20 years ago, when Israel has attacked the Iraqi nuclear plant, it was condemned by most of the world (even the US, who was upset they weren't in on the plan) if that hadn't happened your scenario would have been the reality now. chem/bio weapon are bad, but its nothing compared to nukes. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

you obviously have no clue what so ever on the nature of israel/US relationship. what makes me even more sad is that people like you can only realize the nature of terrorism when it hits them in their own back yard. O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

yeah , i've heard its great. got tickets for the third row (65$+10$ for all the other BS they charge you for ouch...) but,,, you only live once (i think) O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

hehe good one... if you REALLY want to see one, we have some at my DZ, i can take some pics for you . O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

it was a figure of speech. i've issued my current one in 97, but its blank since i usually use my israeli one unless i'm in the US and as i've said, its been too long with school and work, i coul dnever find the time and money to go all the way across the atlantic now i have a good reason to

8 more days til my trip... its been almost 11 years since i've used my dusty old US passport and visited where i used to called home now, i'm going to visit my nephew in Raleigh NC and spend a couple of days in NYC... already bought tickets to the blueman group show wuuuhuuu don't know why, felt like telling the world about it O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i win(gs) O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

hmm, good thing here the legal age is 18... not that it matters if you want to drink earlier suggestions... beer: oh, too many wine: any descent Chianti will do but when you really grow up, go for Drambuie, thats my weakness... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

me too (16 and 4 months to be exact...) no one tried to scare me either, but i do see the point of it for some people. there are MANY people that would change nothing unless their doctors REALLY scare them with what might happen if they don't look at all of the heavy smokers and grease eaters that keep living in the same way after a 2nd heart attack. for some its stupid, for some its the only way... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i love it when dz.commers reveal their secret talents ... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

no problem... at least finally, i'll be popular for something O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

yes, what he said. keep in mind that no advice you hear here is a medical advice. but... being diabetic, i can tell you that sometimes the only way you can understand it, is being one... kinda like skydiving i guess "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

i have type 1 diabetes, and it has never stopped me from doing anything. do you have type 1 (Insulim dependent) or type 2 ? sure, it has bad sides, but you can and will live with it a very normal life in any way. you'll have to think about more stuff that you are used to, but you'll get used to it quickly and it will become your second nature. anyway, i hardly eat any "special" food, for me, its more of adjusting insulin levels to what i eat than changing what i eat. it will take time, but soon you'll have a stronger understanding of your body which is kinda cool in a way... i'm here, or in PM if you have any questions or need advice. i know there are several recepie books with low sugar things, but generaly you can make anything you are used to, with other sweeteners. my mom makes excellent cakes for me O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

whats more important to me is when school kids are on vacation. anybody ? O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

thanks, after going over their websites, i think i'll go to the NJ one. i was planning going there on my way back to NYC, but with my luck its easter (22nd), which might be a bad idea... we'll see... O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

he he , good one O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."
