Don't you mean Bantustans?....... kayecy Jul 2012 #4

No. The Clinton Initiatives were not about Bantustans.... shira Jul 2012 #5

What borders did Israel offer the Palestinians? ....... kayecy Jul 2012 #8

The problem is always Jerusalem oberliner Jul 2012 #10

Did they offer full sovereignty?....... kayecy Jul 2012 #11

What a complete joke... shira Jul 2012 #13

"...the leadership still prefers war." holdencaufield Jul 2012 #17

Wait, what? Scootaloo Jul 2012 #19

Looks like pretty contiguous borders to me. holdencaufield Jul 2012 #15

See above...You are confused again.....n/t kayecy Jul 2012 #12

Complete and utter bullshit from you once again... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #26

Turkey has never offered to end its occupation of N.Cyprus.... shira Jul 2012 #32

I'd be quite in favour of the 2003 peace plan being applied to Israel/Palestine shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #55

"But an EU decision would require the unanimous approval of all its 27 members. " Scootaloo Jul 2012 #2

Now that's funny. nt hack89 Jul 2012 #6

Hezbollah Terrorism Mosby Jul 2012 #7

As long as it's directed mainly at Israel, it's not real terror. n/t shira Jul 2012 #14

Terror -- "Armed Struggle" holdencaufield Jul 2012 #16

Actually with regard to this story on the EU, it seems to be a case of bureaucratic holdup Scootaloo Jul 2012 #18

Are you endorsing this list? -nt- shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #27

Huh? I don't even know what 'endorsing this list' means. Your point? n/t shira Jul 2012 #33

Do you claim that the acts cited are all examples of terrorism? (nt) shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #56

please obligingly cite your source; academically that would be considered plagiarism Alamuti Lotus Jul 2012 #20

Unless he's claiming eyl Jul 2012 #22

square brackets are used in the html/formatting commands, so I doubt it.. Alamuti Lotus Jul 2012 #23

Interesting however guess it is a matter of give and take for the EU azurnoir Jul 2012 #21

Point of information...what policy does the EU have towards Hezbollah at this point Ken Burch Jul 2012 #24

They are recognized as a politcal party not a terrorist organization oberliner Jul 2012 #25

Only the military wing is categorised as a terrorist entity in the UK... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #28

I wonder if the EU would consider following suit oberliner Jul 2012 #29

Is that what Israel is requesting? azurnoir Jul 2012 #30

I'm not sure oberliner Jul 2012 #31

Funny how the same people consider Kahane's military AND political arms terrorists... shira Jul 2012 #34

It's not as if having the EU designate them as terrorists would really change anything Ken Burch Jul 2012 #35

Yes it would oberliner Jul 2012 #36

didn't seem to cost Sinn Fein any financial support back in the day. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #37

Hezbollah is in violation of international law oberliner Jul 2012 #38

Hezbollah seems to have been specifically mentioned once in 1701 azurnoir Jul 2012 #39

Ban Ki-moon to Lebanon: Hezbollah must disarm oberliner Jul 2012 #46

a bit more from your link that did not mention 1701 azurnoir Jul 2012 #51

Thanks oberliner Jul 2012 #52

The resolution calls on militias to "disband in accordance with the Taif accords" shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #57

Actually, this week shows a lot WRT how the West perceives terror... shira Jul 2012 #40

Only the IOC itself was responsible the "minute of silence" flap. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #41

You realize there were 2 moments of silence last night, but neither one for Israeli victims? shira Jul 2012 #42

They'd already had commemorations of the Munich victims at previous games. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #43

Not publicly AFAIK.... shira Jul 2012 #47

They had a memorial at Munich itself. I watched it on tv as a child Ken Burch Jul 2012 #48

So why refuse this request on the anniversary? oberliner Jul 2012 #49

Actually, I think they would. They would feel, I suspect Ken Burch Jul 2012 #53

They are having a minute of silence on the actual anniversary... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #58

Funny how the anti-hasbarados are working so hard to spin this oberliner Jul 2012 #59

Just presenting the facts... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #61

The widows are saying they've met resistance from the OIC ever since 1972... shira Jul 2012 #50

Then there needs to be a change at the IOC. Ken Burch Jul 2012 #54

I think the editorial is pretty over the top, really... shaayecanaan Jul 2012 #60

Interesting when the original premise of the OP doesn't stick azurnoir Aug 2012 #63

"It doesn't reflect on the world as a whole".... shira Aug 2012 #62

The IOC has never been a democratic organization. Ken Burch Aug 2012 #64

Actually, Bradlad Jul 2012 #44

The Israeli Olympic deaths were already commemorated at previous games Ken Burch Jul 2012 #45
