130 member states of the United nations is equivalent to 5.2 billion of the worlds population, you can not just disregard this fact man. Think with logic gamblor, you seem to have a high level of intelligence and I respect that, I only ask for respect in return
I come off as abrasive, i get that. And I don't mean to disrespect
you as much as I mean to disrespect the
"facts" and lies your "sources" are filling your head with. I don't doubt that you believe these things, i wouldn't suggest you're being dishonest (as others in this thread have been). I do, however, think your choice of sources is questionable.

With that being said, I am sorry sir, but 130/ 193 is a highly significant number,
Not when those nations are bloc voters and rely on each other for resources and political power. Arab states, African states, former communist states. its not like they're independent voters. and the vast majority of them are
not functioning liberal democracies with accurate representation.

Gamblor do not accuse me of providing false information again, its not a good way to debate. I do research on the issue at hand, I have previously in this very thread showed stats from Hafia University, ( a major Jewish University in Hafia, Israel.
You definitely did good with that one. and haifa isn't exactly major but its certainly reputable enough.
You're not a liar, i have no doubt you believe what you write. but you do provide information that is clearly false.

Also since 1967, 700,000 Palestinian males have been imprisoned according to Cenk Ungar's stats
in addition here is a interesting link to look at regarding Palestinian prisoners and there treatment in comparison with there Jewish counterparts http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...t-peace-ef.php
This one, not so much. I literally showed you that it is physically impossible for that statistic to be true. The number comes from Adameer, a Palestinian NGO cited in the article (and in other publications,
including UN publications).
The PCHR link I
provided (and PCHR is hardly pro-Israel) shows that Israel
arrests less than a couple dozen a week on average, and there is a standing prison population of
under 5000 according to
B'Tselem, another hardly pro-Israel organization. Now consider that
60% of arrestees are repeat offenders. Think about that. We're talking maybe a dozen new offenders per week. Times 50 weeks is maybe 600 per year. 45 years since 1967. Then think about whether
700,000 different people could possibly have been in prison. That's like 15,000 new,
unique people per year, nowhere close to the actual numbers above.
Its absurd. its impossible. And it is a whopping lie, courtesy of Adameer.
And Adameer's fake numbers are cited
all over the internet.
Israel derangement syndrome: where a lie travels around the world before the truth has a chance to get out of bed.
