This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

Apartheid Israel's Inhuman Ghetto: Gaza
I find many of donsutherland1’s points to be very hypocritical and contradicting. For example you say that the Palestinian leadership’s demand for displaced citizens to be able to return to their pre-1948 land is unreasonable. So it’s ok for Jewish people to resettle the land after an 1800 year... -
Apartheid Israel's Inhuman Ghetto: Gaza
Israel's existence has undermined the well being of the region's Palestinian Arabs by displacing them and denying their right to return to their homes in order to maintain a predominantly Jewish population within the region. I see this as a catch 22. Yes Israel's existence is at constant risk... -
Apartheid Israel's Inhuman Ghetto: Gaza
To 1069, give yourself some credit. Your thought of having a Jewish state in a more favorable location is an excellent idea that is deserving of consideration. In fact to me it seems like one of the more viable and reasonable solutions to be thrown out there. If Jewish people want their own... -
Should the US have a "National News Network"
I am by no means against private ownership. Private ownership provides a better product/service to the customer in the vast majority of industries. Entertainment news such as sports and Hollywood gossip should be left to the hands of private owners. I feel however that important national or... -
Support Israel or else attitude?
The Palestinian Arabs have as much a right to live and worship in Israel/Palestine as any Jew does. Don't give me this garbage about them having no legit argument against Israel because Judaism existed there before Islam. Prior to the rise of Zionism in the late 1800's Arabs had been the... -
Should the US have a "National News Network"
Akin to say the BBC in the UK or CBC in Canada? -
Why does the world allow ISRAEL to "GET AWAY WITH IT" ??
The US govn’t and numerous US corporations have a long history of playing both sides in this bloody and idiotic conflict. On one hand the US is the biggest support of the Israeli state, shilling out billions of US tax dollars to strengthen their economy, develop more weapons, and continue to... -
U.N. Demonstration of Hatred for the U.S.
The UN seriously needs to set some higher standards for itself. Given the sorid human rights records and contempt for democracy of countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran Russia, etc, they should be banned from being members or at the very least heavily restricted. -
Liberal, Anti-Israeli Bias
I call for a third option. None of this black and white crap for me thank you very much. -
Chavez Says He May Seek 'Indefinite' Re-election
If the observers are worried about Chavez's power getting out of hand they should focus on getting the opposition to participate in the democratic process. -
Chavez Says He May Seek 'Indefinite' Re-election
I agree that there should be some concern anytime a leader starts to concentrate power in this way. My point was simply that we should not be too hasty in writing Chavez off. Just because the man dislikes the US govn't/foreign policy doesn't make him a dictator. -
should we back Israel militarily?
I find it hilarious :lol: that just because I oppose the racist policies of Israel that people like Kandahar and Gardener assume that I must be some evil Jew hating, Islamo-fascist loving fool. You assume that just because I don't share your blind love of Israel that I most be head over heals... -

should we back Israel militarily?
The current Arab leadership is probably the biggest problem the Palestinian and by extension the greater Arab world have. I totally agree that people like Arafat have made the problem worse. The Arabs desperately need an alternative voice to the militant, fundamentalist ones which currently... -
should we back Israel militarily?
Arafat was a corrupt authoritarian leader. His chose to reject the former Israeli offer was his own and did not take into account what the people on the ground actually wanted. Assuming that a democratic govn't or referendum was held on the deal, a decision to reject it would be justified if...
