The discussion centers on the fairness of holding elections under foreign occupation, questioning President Bush's stance on Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon while not demanding similar actions from Israel regarding Palestine. Participants highlight the inconsistency in U.S. foreign policy, noting that elections in Iraq were deemed successful despite American occupation, while elections in Palestine under Israeli control face scrutiny. The conversation also touches on the historical context of Palestinian governance and the impact of external influences on their electoral processes. Ultimately, the debate underscores the complexities and perceived double standards in international politics regarding occupied territories and democratic legitimacy.

This site is supporter for the right wing in Israel.. so why you do not prefer my site which is Israeli , it is also accepted solution for both sides? Otherwise I can present hundreds of pro Palestine sites showing the opposite views of your site?

It certainly is not a "right wing" supporter. It is a site run by both Palestinians and Israelis. If you'd like to see some right wing sites I can also post a multitude of links. You should realize that just because a site is "Israeli" doesn't make it neutral. There are plenty of "anti-israeli" jews just as there are plenty of "anti-american" americans.

They can still set up a website that sounds and appears "neutral", but its not because of how they word what they say. It fools people into believing they have received an unbiased opinion on the matter, when they really haven't. Read enough of those sites and you'll start to think like them and support them without even knowing it. That is sad.

Bush asked Syria several times to withdraw immediately from Lebanon before the election. He believes that no honest election under foreign occupation.

Your case rests entirely on an assumption that, if held, means Bush believes the elections held under the Occupation of Japan and Germany were fraudulant.
