What's interesting too is that all these years they've lived in their own countries, often as rich landmarks and states. Yet, today, the list of Muslems who won the Nobel price is quite short. (of a vast 1.3 billion people, roughly 20% of world population):
From these six, only three are prizes for science.

it is a usb 'stick'.
from their site:
"The world's first Linux-based dedicated & robust security computer in a USB stick, with 13 built-in security applications!"
Funny you should bring up UN Resolutions. Let's look at the first UN Resolution concerning the Middle East. It states that the State of Israel has the right to exist. This is the FIRST ONE, and has been rejected by ALL neighbouring Arab countries.
When they'll accept this one, we'll move on to the others.
Funny too you should talk about the Geneva Convention. I'm imagining people like you weren't screaming about Geneva Conventions last summer, when Hezbollah terrorists violated many Geneva laws of humanity, including attacking a country without any reason or warning, abducting foreign soldiers (which are still captive, by the way) and shooting missiles from densely populated living flats just to make sure civilian casualties (for which they beg) will reach the world news. Perhaps this has indeed been one of the censored issues of the year. Instead of talking about 'disproportianism', when Israel is attacking the terrorists (who happen to hide among an innocent population), why wasn't the world screaming about those who deliberately targeted civilians?
Plus, you haven't addressed my major issue. Israel doesn't want to live separately, Israel doesn't want a security fence. Israel, after more than forty years of terror, it is desperately trying to find a solution to this ongoing problem, in which its citizens are threatened daily.
It's strange. It's seemingly always the Palestinians who want peace and not the israelis.
Well, I can name you hundreds of Israeli peace organization. Name me one Palestinian...
There are none. A few months ago, a group of Egyptian diplomats got together to try and find peaceful resolutions with Israel. A week later, they were all imprisoned. As a reminder, Israel has signed a peace treaty with Egypt.
You call me a racist towards the Palestinian people. You say that I value Jewish blood over Arab blood.
Well, let me tell you I never did, but today I do.
Today, I see a civilization of people which are far from civilized. I see a people which does not care about human life anymore, let alone their own. I see mothers strapping TNT-bars around their little sons and daughters. I see fathers teaching their kids to hate and take them to fight at their youngest ages.
I see hundreds of Middle Eastern television and radio channels promoting nothing but hate against Israel, America and Jews in general. The first words of many Palestinian children are 'Itbach al-yahud' or 'kill the jew'. See Memri.
When I see this, a people that rejects its own right to live, I cannot help but see their blood as less.
I feel so sad for all these innocent Palestinian children which are abused by their parents, their teachers and their society. I think the answer to peace is there, in their education, and not primarily with the security fence.
The security fence, whether you like it or not, has proven secure and has massively decreased terrorist attacks. Now, the fence may have harmed many Palestinians socially and it may be harder for them as they have to pass many checkpoints, but they aren't threatened to die because of that.
On the other side, every day the security fance stands there, it prevents terrorists from passing to an Israeli town and blowing up families.
The only life-threatening threat Palestinians face is to be killed in a firefight in which they either didn't belong, or that was caused by internal rivalries between Fatah and Hamas. Again, for that the solution has to be found within them.
Another thing that has almost not reached the news. the Israeli town of Sderot has been the target of thousands of Kassam rockets the last five weeks and has caused tens of deaths and hundreds of injured. This, too, has not been seen of too much on the news.
Indeed, they were jews in 'palestine' (which was never a country, but a Trans-Jordanian region) before the State of Israel. There was no jewish independence, jewish majority. No war of '67 or '74 nor any 'wall'.
In the '20s and '30s, countless massacres occured on the jewish population of Jaffa, Hebron and Safed in which man, women and children were slaughtered, raped and killed. These were not ordinary civil disorders, but were truly massacres. See here and here.
So yes, there were jews there, but they didn't live very well. Let us not forget that the Mufti Al-Hussaini, grand-Mufti of Jerusalem was a personal friend of Adolf Hitler. See here.
Now, this was long before any israeli 'occupation', 'apartheid' or so-called 'terrorism'. But still, the hatred was already present.
Before 1967, when the Arab states after seeing their defeat started to sponsor guerilla-terrorism against Israel, there was no talk about a 'Land of Palestine'. It never existed. Palestine is the name of a region, formerly a part of Trans-Jordania. Palestinians (name originates from the ancient Philistines) have never had a national entity. They have no common history, no valuta and no culture. They actually do, but these are all respectively Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian or Jordanian.
The hate against 'the jew' did not breed from Israel's presence, it was there long before. Yes, jews owned businesses in Arab countries, but they lived there as dhymmies, second-rate citizens (as were Christians). They had to pay extra taxes and were obliged to bow when a muslem passed them in the street. Please, try to update your own knowledge of history before accusing others. See here.
Instead of accusing Israel of all troubles. Israel, which is the first one at each peace talk, which tries in every way to hold to its democratic values (find one country which held itself so democratic when suffering so much terror). Israel, which actually respects all of humanity. Everyone from every religion is welcome (try to enter Mecca as a Christian). All gay people are welcome (should we look how they are treated in Israel's 35 neighbouring Muslem countries?). I could go on.
The fact that the 'wall' would cover much of Palestinian land is simply not true. I have been there and have taken an organized tour of the security fence. The fence was not built to separate Palestinians, but merely for security purposes.
The video on YouTube is full of factual errors. First of all, comparison with the Berlin Wall is out of the question. The Berlin Wall was built to separate people, in this case it was built to not let terrorists in.
But while we are complaining about walls, let's observe another wall. The wall the United Stated has built on the border with Mexico (a country of which it does not suffer terror from), five times the size of the West Bank barrier. This is apparently totally acceptable. See here.
And to be exact, we shouldn't even call this barrier a 'Wall'. The actual critical parts which consist of a concrete wall are a mere 10% of the entire length.
And the fact that the World Bank financed this barrier, well, they should be proud of it. They have probably saved many lives with that gesture. Since this barrier was built in 2002, there have only been few suicide terror attacks, compared to attacks on a daily base before.
