- Go to Austria, Palestine and a complicated question.
Expediency and might determine what is right. There is absolutely no

there is clearly a lot of hyporacy in international politics...
and I agree with most of your post. As a Jew, I was shocked by those statistics. Can I ask where they came from and when it was carried out. Why wouldn't someone want to live next door to me? I'm a lovely neighbour!
But I would take issue with your comment that Palestinians act out of hope, whereas Austrians act out of choice. Strapping on a suicide belt, or voting for a party that carries out terrorist attacks on civilians and states in its charter that it is dedicated to the destruction of Israel, is definitely a choice! And it's a choice that I know I would never and could never make.

Good post. It always amazes me just how much hypocrisy is going on between the political world. Extreme lies and political totalitarianism, that now is embodied in the New World Order, makes it an ever decreasing circle, which makes ordinary people nothing more than pawns on the chess board.
