@#12 – Gilad

This is so sad but true. Ever since entering cyberspace many years ago to interact with others by debating and discussing, I have seen time and again just how cowardly are those wanting to control the official narrative. At times they claim to be weeding out hate speech (though as Gilad points out, pro-Israel is honored) but more often than not give no explanation; they just delete comments and/or ban the poster. The list of sites I am banned from is a who's-who of cowards.

I would have more respect for those who would support their own argument even if I disagreed with them, but to run from a debate because you know you do not have the facts on your side is very telling. It is not who has the stronger argument who wins in these cases, but who gets to "choose" which argument wins. Our MSM (the Mighty Wurlitzer) is part of the problem.

That being said, much respect and admiration to all those sharing ideas and taking action in order to help bring about meaningful change and justice for those who are denied it.

@Iqbal Tamimi –

My dear, do you really need an answer?

The Western universe is becoming a very sad place.

Freedom of speech, is just another myth.

You are free to lie, the truth is just too painful for them to cope with.

Make an experiment, pick for yourself an innocent kosher name, something like , Moishe Greenpotz, or David Roseklotz or even Ruth Cohen Levi Zacohvzky and then comment to them how wonderful Israel is, you can also write about Jewish suffering. I promise you, no one will delete you then.

peace
Gilad

very well said and this is a emotional appeal that everyone should act to.
The middle east as i know is a young community and most of senior partnerships are today under Socialist Secular Military Rulers who are sitting there making fun of democracy and feeding their juntas.i mean Egypt especially.The Palestinians have the right to curtail their relations as far as well off democratic states and leave the dictatorship of these regimes in their external internal affairs.
Social Governments are today as important as political ones and you must understajd that Isrealis themselves have relationships because The UNo gave them certain rights after the Europeans had turned away from them completely and made them suffer beyond humasn limits to sustain.But the western cenima and literature say press sang hatred amongst muslims and jews although in history there had been no conflicts and majority of jews were raised in bombay and are still bourgeois class there .
Palestinians have the right i repeat to curtail their relationships and not become victims of international treasons because as far as i am sure that peace has been negotiated and few strips of settlers and similar economic reasons become the cause of such bad conflicts where children are hurt and uncertianity looms amongst our Palestinian brathers. one of the reason that the Isrealis fight back and destroy economy but they should escuse the public whivch can be cordoned in case they warn they are moving in to destroy homes of fighters like the Indian army has been doing in Kashmir. But CHANGE is unstoppableINSHAHALLAH and richer than jews money and more ethical than the transatlantic books and we will see a day of peace.You must remember that on his sick bed Isreali Prime Minister Sharon accepted that a Democratic decision was imminenbt for Jerusalem .brother Ghazi Yasser Arafat also announced the Isrealis as cousins but the recent governments are taking too much foriegn intervention and they have the right to bring relationship of all the muslim nations that are only friends because they have handouts and are not there to help in intense need of dialgue that can stop fighting…..

OK, these are not the words of the play? I have read the play,
but I can't remember it verbatim. Has Iqbal changed the wording?
