No wonder we are so confused
Reader comment on item: Palestinian Word Games
Submitted by S (United States), Jan 4, 2005 at 16:38
Another excellent article and good points. No wonder I have always found the subject of Israel and Palestine confusing. http://www.arabsforisrael.com/pages/1/index.htm a map of arab countries at this site is very telling.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
