Today, on BBC world there was a program titled ' The Doha Debate', which as the name stated was located in Doha (Qatar). As I was flicking through the channels I decided to stop and watch it for a little while. I would like to share a part which angered me a little..
Ms. Ghada Karmi, enthusiastically defending the Palestinian cause, was accusing the Arab countries for relying on the Americans politically a little too much, hence their hands are tied when it comes to dealing with Israelis. She further explains, that the Arab countries are taking too many favours from the American government, therefore they have to support the Americans in whatever they do. Since Israel is backed up the Americans, the Arabs are too lenient towards the Israeli presence on Palestinian soils. Ms Karmi added, that the Arab countries should stop accepting those American favours and stand by the Palestinians so they are a stronger front against the Israelis...
So, a lady stood up and asked her: But aren't you asking for too much from the Arab countries?
Ms Karmi kindly said: No...(now I forgot what else she said here)
All I would like to say to Ms Karmi:
- Has she forgotten how the Palestinians stabbed us (Kuwait and the Kuwaitis) during the Iraqi invasion when we used to be their no. 1 supporters?
- Wasn't it for the Americans who helped us to get our country and homes back?
I am very sorry Ms Karmi, with all due respect for many, The Palestinians do not have a good track record...
Deep down, I wish the Palestinians would get their rights back, but not on the expense of others..
and I agree with the lady, Ms Karmi was asking for too much.
==============================
On another note: Bali got bombed again, shame on those extremists who are cowardly attacking the innocent when and where they cannot retaliate.

i couldn't agree more about the palestineans..
its weird how people backstab you right in your face..
there was a proverb that went something like this..
"a dog never bites the hand that feeds it"
we were not only bitten, we were feasted upon..
at the end, u can't forget history, cuz history eventually repeats itself over and over again..
interesting subject ;) u should get many different perspectives..
I am very much interested in what people have to say about this.
I watched the debate a little more that day, but I did not have the patience to follow it right to the end.
It is a shame that sometimes the art of bullshit (Politics) over-rides logic..
