New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process
An anonymous reader writes "There's been yet another mega-leak, this time of 1,600 papers describing the Israeli/Palestinian peace process negotiations. It's independent of Wikileaks and came to light via al-Jazeera, showing perhaps that the mega-leak meme is here to stay whatever happens to Assange. The papers show a weak Palestinian side offering ever greater concessions to Israel, which flatly rejected this as being insufficient: 'We do not like this suggestion because it does not meet our demands,' Israel's then foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, told the Palestinians, 'and probably it was not easy for you to think about it, but I really appreciate it.'"
RTFA you Fucking Moron. Seriously, get your head out of your ass and fucking READ IT. The Palestinians are the ones doing all the giving here, Israel is still WAY outside it's fucking borders, but stupid fucking racist retarded cunts like you are the reason it can get away with it. One day in the future we'll all be saddened that Israel was the child of ethnic cleansing and racism, and chose instead of becoming a beacon to inflict misery upon a new set of innocents.
Isn't it just amazing how the elegance, persuasiveness and logical soundness of an argument grows exponentially every time the author works another vulgar expletive into it?

Oh come on. A good chunk of the US still seems to practically define itself through resentment at the North over the civil war.
Maybe 30 years ago, but you really don't see much of that now. You DO see southerners who don't like yankees, not because of the Civil War, but because their culture makes them come off as assholes to southerners. It isn't hard to tell who isn't "from around here" by simply talking to someone. Northerners tend to be more pushy and aggressive in their speaking. Many northerners assume southerners are dumb redneck hillbillies. It isn't about the Civil War, its about the differences in culture. I live in one of the least progressive counties in North Carolina, where whites will still complain about blacks (not in public, like 20 years ago), but you rarely see confederate flags any more, as an example. The rhetoric is very different than when I was 20 (I'm mid 40s now).
I've lived all over the USA, in both metro and rural areas, and the Civil War isn't even a topic of conversation anymore. Your less educated and more racist element still thinks all blacks are lazy and on welfare, but again, no one even mentions the Civil War. They don't question civil rights. Their attitude is simply "you stay in your neighborhood, and I will stay in mine". And to be fair, not all undereducated people feel that way. They rag about Latinos mainly, because they are taking the jobs that no one wants, but even that is muted compared to just a couple decades ago.
Tequila: It's not just for breakfast anymore!
