In South-America the Indians suffer from people like you. The idea that when somebody is poor you don�t need to respect him and you can take his land.

I don�t escape from it. I�m fully aware of it. The problem is that the Israel�s point of view is already very well expressed by numerous people. The Palestinians don�t have these elaborate spokesmen. Yesterday I saw Israeli soldiers defending the attack on Jenin. It�s signicant how well these Israeli soldiers manage to defend their point of view. Most Arabs have no idea how to play the Western media.
