The more persuasive the fraud, the greater the anger when it is debunked.<br />So we see that Israel is designed to create a huge explosion, and its survival comes from the continuing threat to blow itself and the region into dust.<br />The people whose support to the maintenance of this system is vital are thus Jews. Do they want to blow themselves and the world up?chrisrushlauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432949074147807503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807039862321845767.post-34586292451398627982011-01-16T19:40:02.100-05:002011-01-16T19:40:02.100-05:00Thanks for this Ghassan.

One...Thanks for this Ghassan. It's excellent. <br /><br />One question, aren't we in agreement given the following statement you made? <br /><br />-- But the most interesting observation of all is the fact that the potential political benefit from over representation was dissipated since the two major political groups appear to have split these privileged districts.<br /><br />I didn't completely follow the point you made that a more just allocation would have netted the opposition 3-5 seats more. <br /><br />Either way, thx once again.Gabrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807039862321845767.post-29421787170641940422010-08-03T18:28:50.384-04:002010-08-03T18:28:50.384-04:00I've already bookmark this article and will de...I've already bookmark this article and will definitely refer this article to all my close friends and colleagues.
