Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?
If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?
Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

In what way it is banned? I just watched it on Youtube which is an American website which all Americans can access. Seems also it is available on iTunes.

The US rarely bans song. The radio stations just don't play them.

Is Israel being helpful to Egypt, their friend Hosini, somebody or something else?
I think a very big spanner has been thrown in the works.

Just another little thought, perhaps Mubarak and his "government" can seek "asylum" in Israel.
They may feel at home there.

Isn't it amazing how the hate brigade here twist everything around into their hatred of Israel ?
Ever heard of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.......?

As opposed to Israel hating the Palestinians.
Now Jordan has dismissed its government today. That's another country with a peace agreement with Israel.
I read today that Israel gets 40% of its gas from Egypt.

Connecting unconnected facts is a sign of losing it.
Anyone who has been to Israel would know - rather than those who scream out of the tops of their heads claiming their personal opinion is fact - yes, you and the others parrot - that about 75-80% of Israelis want a two state solution, about 10-15% just don't know as their fear stops them, and about 10% are dead against a settlement.
Opinion polls echo that, parrot. Not unsupported conjecture "Israel hating the Palestinians" as spews out of your finger tips, parrot.
Ah, everything in black and white, ignorance and hatred are so easy, aren't they?
Of course, it's all some intellectually and mentally challenged people can cope with.

I am not discussing the people of Israel, but their government and its actions. If the people want a two state solution then change the government. They won't get it with the current one.

There is an interesting program on BBC 2 on Thursday at 9pm for an hour - "The Ultra Zionists". It is about settlers in the West Bank.

your tv programme is much more likely to be about what it actually says on the tin, which is nothing like what you are wanting to wish .... in fact i note it is one of Louis Theroux's "escapades" (sorry; not intended to be derogatory, but can't think of the right word) .... he is a very clever and interesting interviewer, as you would have noticed if you have seen any of his other programmes ..... if you did, did you feel that his portrayal of white extremists in mid-west USA was put across as being typical of the general population and its consensus? .... no, it portrayed as it said on the tin!

Unless Israel changes their government they won't get a two state solution. The current government doesn't seem to want a two state solution. If they did then they would not let settlers build settlements illegally in the area that is supposed to be for the Palestinians. They would not guard the settlers with occupation forces while they attack Palestinian farmers and steal their land.
The changes in government in Egypt and possibly some other countries may be a reality check for Israel. Israel has been hurredly contacting their embassies around the world over the last few days tryting to gather support for the dictator in Egypt. At least Israel is beginning to realsie what trouble they may be in for.

They constantly have a coalition because of the far right religious parties. While that continues Israel will get nowhere. It is up to the people to vote for a different grouping if they want things to get better.
It is a bizzare situation going by your own figures.
"that about 75-80% of Israelis want a two state solution, about 10-15% just don't know as their fear stops them, and about 10% are dead against a settlement"
That clearly isn't reflected in Israeli election results. If it was you would easily have a majority for a two state solution. The reality is that they have a government that pretends to be heading towards a two state solution while taking more and more land and supressing the population of east Jerusalem and the West Bank. The people to vote in a more considered way.
There is a piece of video on the internet of Netenyahu filmed without his knowledge. It shows him in a house talking to supporters. He is telling them that he is pretending to be pursuing the peace process, but will just take more land.

Hays,
Once again I agree with your summation, but Cynic is being his usual obtuse self.
Interesting to try to guess at the next five years in the M.E., but I think this may awaken Israelis to America and their own limitations.

very true, but it's a shame that, due to the inordinate number of parties who hold a spoiling vote between them all, it is difficult for israel to have a strong gov't that is able and has the will to take and force through difficult and unpopular (with the noisy lunatic fringe) decisions ...... unquestionably, USA holds the key, but it has been lily-livered for many years as all presidents are fearful of alienating the jewish lobby ..... and before this thread's idiots latch onto that, it similarly applies to the gun and trucking cabals, and formerly with the irish contingent
