Thank you Krim for enlighten us with all these great numbers and great projects that the country of Israel has reached.
To be 100% honest with you Israel scares me!!
And as a matter of facts when in England, in the city of new york, and also here in italy, in Rome i had the chance to work with jews from israel, and... i aint racist but.... i dont happen to like them at all my dear....
Of course i am generalising but they are not my kind of people, always moaning and boasting about what was done to them more than 50 years ago. Stop it!!!!
Grow up get a life and stop killing people!!!!!
And the fact that i have always been and always will be Pro Palestine makes you understand more why i do not like them.
Dear Georgina I do not know the one who wrote the piece. Everyone know about the transfer of technologies and know how from all industrilized, US, Germany france etc countries through very activ groups. There is a lot of Hyp....... you are probably aware of ...[www.normanfinkelstein.com]
I always ask : What should the palestinians do ? - Be second class citizens in Israel. - Immigrate,but where in this fucking world? - Be free with dignity or kill yourself.
> > Nobody has explained us up to today why hundreds > of israelian did not show up at work that day the > 11 of Sept , was it 2001? > >Are you sûre about this statement ??????
Dear Gabri Morocco is part of this small planete called earth and not part of another planet. 9-11 did happen in New York but every moroccan did directly or indirectly experience the consequences. The so called Al Kaida seems to have members of moroccan origin. Blowing up a restaurant in Casablanca was mentioned as linked to Al Kaida. etc.. .....The conflict between palestinian and isralelis is in my opinion at the heart of global politics and Morocco is also concerned.....
Dear Krim. I'm aware of what you stated . However the comments deteriorated into a political discussion and name calling...This site is about Morocco and its beauty and traditions, for any other diatribe I can go to Middle East Message Boards on AOL, full of insults and racism...
