Whatever you personally believe, and regardless of what you think of people who may be able to see both sides of an argument (my hunch is that you don't have much time for them, although you may disagree), your statement is simply false. You CAN discuss the Middle East and not slant one way or the other. Quite a few people who live in Israel, both Jewish and Muslim, do just that. They may not be in the majority, but they are there, trying to make a difference, just as there are people in Northern Ireland who straddle the religious divide and try to broker understanding and peace. I agree with Pau, Laurentl. This list of "facts" is extremely slanted, and to pretend otherwise is not a tenable position. I promise you that another list might give 15 "facts" which are diametrically opposed to these, and its compiler would swear blind that this was a totally disinterested list of facts.
