Megaraptor, your link is too much too read. Maybe it contains some reasons for Israel to occupy parts of Palestine. I just know few countries recognize Israels claims, and one claim is not recognized by any nation. Thats enough for me. Anyhow, the site looks too pro-Israel. I dont bother trying to find it, but im pretty sure theres a similar one with the Palestinian flag saying something different.
Talking about racism, i think youre wrong. Ive heard many racist jokes from americans aswell, but thats not the point. To tell a joke mean very little. If you say americans condemn racist jokes i find that quite hypocrit, and similar with the general american way of thinking (imo). Like youre not allowed to show a boob on television, but still its the country in the world who produce most porn. Its just a false fascade. Like you say its less racism there, while just around 250 years ago they were ethnically cleaning out the natives in their entire continent, and killed them and put the rest in reservation. Then they kidnap negroes and send them over sea in huge numbers, and use them as slaves. And its not long ago, only 150 years or something since it stopped. Then you have KKK and all that.
I have hard to believe americans have so suddenly changed, so now theyre even less racistic than europeans. Most of you americans are "europeans" anyways. We are so similar so its most likely just as much racism in europe as in america.
