from my understanding, the US would rather the Palestians went back to negotiating with Israel rather that attempting to force statehood via the UN...as they will still have problems with Israel over everything even with UN mandated statehood.
The US has spend a lot of time, effort, and Presidents, on peace between Israel and Palestine, including a two state solution. They likely want to take credit for the final peace rather than have themselves be sidestepped in a way that won't accomplish anything, but end the chance of them having any say in the matter anymore (end of the Camp David path to peace).

My advice: Stick to a RAID array. It's cheaper and less time consuming too. @SeijiSensei: It's clear that their's going to be a new battlefield in the media landscape, and it's going to be over the streaming market. I'd say the content producers are seeing where the wind is blowing, and don't see the need for dealing with NetFlix when it's so easy to just set up your own streaming service. Netflix as it is now is probably doomed, they're probably going to have to shift to dealing with more niche producers who do not have the resources to establish their own streaming service. But in the long term they're going to lose access to the properties produced by the likes of Warner Brothers or NBC. |

I could see each major broadcaster or media giant operating it's own subscription based media service. There might be a BBC subscription, and NBC subscription etc. And maybe some bright soul will come with some kind of idea that, say, allows you to subscribe to every documentary show across all networks, or every drama etc. Media is in a state of flux, so it's difficult to say how things are going to proceed. Either way, we can probably expect to be spending more on media content in the future. On the flip side, we'll probably have a lot less ads. I just hope they stop it with all the region blocking... |

I agree. There are plenty of whackjobs in the Middle East who misinterpreted the Koran and was brainwashed into thinking that "Jews are evil and instruments of the Satan", so this peace process is pretty much naught.
They probably won't stop until they genocide anyone who is a Jew or Zionist. Even the Samaritans. EDIT : Gamers Decode AIDS Protein That Stumped Researchers For 15 Years In Just 3 Weeks Looks like those raid nights without sleep paid off in solving the question in the minimum amount of time required. @ TRL : I think you need to ask your colleagues post another "What it should have been" in the Straits Times tomorrow : Quote:

Well it does go to the credit of Israel's PR efforts that people would still believe "Islamist wackjobs" are the cause of it. It's true though that the PLO's moderates are getting more and more marginalised by the Islamists, but what do you expect when the Israelis constantly undermine whatever the PLO manages to negotiate? Hamas gained ground solely thanks to their loss of credibility. Ironically Israel originally supported Hamas as a counterbalance to Arafat's PLO; we can now see how successful that was. That's the main reason Mahmoud Abbas is going to the UN even if he knows he'll fail. Because if he doesn't do a PR coup, the PLO will keep loosing face to the Hamas in the eyes of the Palestinian people. |

Because both the Israelis, Palestine, UN and Mideasterners each has their own version of territorial lines, the property developers just "build first, talk later". When the tenants "come under attack", the IDF kneejerks and goes in with guns blazing, creating another conflict. I don't believe that either the Jews or the Muslims are bad - it is just that both sides have lard-eating dogs and bitches as well as mindless nuts to be brainwashed by the former.

If they treated it like a hardcore game like the way "no-lifers" do, we wouldn't be having this in the first place.

Sure the palestinians have the muslim world behind them but then again, Israel has the US behind them (Thankfully due to the US being a developed country, propaganda like that against palestinians isn't nearly as strong but they do still have the power to give billions of aid to Israel). I doubt the muslim countries would stop hating Israel if the US stopped helping Israel but I also doubt that US support for Israel would stop if the muslim countries stopped supporting the palestinians.
I do however think that muslim anti-semitism would eventually wittle away if palestinians managed to obatin a respectable peace with Israel.

With Libya liberating, and Syria and Egypt up next, they would be cohesive enough to invoke "A Muslim must help his own Muslim brother in times of trouble".

A lot of hate against the US would vanish if it practiced what it preached. Many people in countries like Afghanistan have no clue about our news or politics, heck many of them never even heard of 9/11. What they do know is that those "kind Americans" are coming in and messing with what little stability they had.....and they don't like it.
Truthfully, I can't blame them. I'm sure it's quite the shock when American propaganda doesn't match up with American reality. Is there really any point to denying a Palestine state anymore? Such a tiny plot of land that has claimed so many unnecessary lives.

An effective solution would be to level every single religious building in that place. But we would need a scapegoat first. How about scientologist radicals? Alternatively, after levelling those religious buildings, construct a holy building made to worship magical girls. Feminists around the world would stop complaining immediately, and it would certainly be filled everyday with worshippers.
