And think about this: You would put more weight on a video of a few Palestinians, which does not show any other background information and is an isolated incident captured on video..... but you've completely ignored the link I posted a few posts back on this person who has tried to open the eyes and minds of Americans to the fact that things may not be quite as they're portrayed in the Middle East.

Be a little less defensive, and drop your guard for a minute. Isn't it possible that Americans in general might be a little misinformed about all the nuances and events regarding the Middle East conflict? Isn't it possible that Arabs by and large are sick of this eternal conflict and are just as willing to sit down to dialogue like the Israelis are?
So basically I need to not have my own views, my own thoughts, and kowtow my own beliefs to whatever evidence is brought up to the contrary? How about instead of taking offense at my every single view on any given subject you just learn to agree to disagree? Because I'm pretty fucking tired of getting post after post after post of being called an "extremist" when I'm rather pragmatic about the situation.
