Hasan Abu Nimah wrote an article titled Why is it Open Season on Palestinians in US Presidential Race? for the Electronic Intifada recently. Nimah says "it seems that the Palestinians, or more precisely bashing and demonizing them, preoccupy a disproportionate amount of the candidates’ attention. Even more extraordinary is the fact that the Palestinians never sought to make Americans or the US their enemy nor did they do anything to harm the US." In many of the Republican Primary Debates, it appears as though the candidates are fighting over who can say the most racist and hateful things towards the Palestinians. Here are a following of the things each candidate has said:Newt Gingrich said the Palestinians are an "invented people." Mitt Romney claims they are taught terrorism and to hate Jews in their schools.Rich Santorum said "All the people who live in the West Bank are Israelis. There are no Palestinians. This is Israeli land"Michele Bachman believes Palestine should die so Israel can live.Rick Perry attempted to have all persons aboard the Palestinian Freedom Flotilla's arrested for terrorism.Ron Paul is the only candidate that hasn't said any racist and hateful comments towards Palestinians. Those are just examples of a few of the candidates comments. Look up some more and then decide, Which Republican Presidential Candidate hates the Palestinians more?
On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Ron Paul says Congresswoman Bachmann does not like Muslims. You can see his comments in the video provided above, and then her response.

In a Republican Primary Debate on Fox News, Congressman Ron Paul and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann exchanged words concerning whether the US should declare war on Iran. Listen to the exchange. Who do you agree with on Iran?
In virtually every Republican primary debate, all of the candidates (except Ron Paul) have made clear Islamophobic and anti-Arab statements. The video provided has an example of one of the Republican Primary Debates. Why do the primary candidates use such hateful and ignorant language when discussing Arabs and Muslims? Does using racial slurs towards Arabs and Muslims help Republicans gain conservative voters?
The United States, NATO, and Israel repeatedly claim that Iran's nuclear program is designed with the goal of creating nuclear weapons. Such allegations, however, are made without evidence. Ralph Nader says the "International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) that monitor compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to which Iran belongs, have entered Iran numerous times and, while remaining suspicious, have not been able to find that country on the direct road to the Bomb." Though the IAEA may be suspicious, they haven't found any evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of Iran. US officials constantly misrepresent the IAEA by stating Iran could develop a nuclear weapon in X number of years. Iran claims its nuclear program is for peaceful means, specifically for nuclear energy. It has the right to have nuclear energy, and so far no evidence suggests Iran is planning to use its nuclear program in any other capacity. It is all just speculation, perhaps even made up by the West. What do you think? Is Iran trying to make nuclear weapons?
In the video above, George Galloway argues it would be a complete catastrophe for the United States and NATO to go to war with Iran. Listen to Galloway's speech, and then decide Is it a mistake for the US and NATO to go to war with Iran?
In the last couple of weeks, the world has been witnessing increasing military activity between the US and Iran. The US and Israel have already committed several acts of war including terrorist attacks against Iranian scientists, placing an embargo on Iranian banks, and using unmanned spy drones to spy on the Islamic Republic, such as the one captured by the Iranians. As the map shows, the US and NATO have Iran completely surrounded. At the Center for Research on Globalization, the following articles have been produced indicating the authors fear a War with Iran is already underway:Attack Iran?

Today, the Israeli's released 477 Palestinian political prisoners in exchange for Galid Shalit, who was captured by Hamas five years ago, in phase one of the prisoner exchange. In Phase 2, Israel is also to release another 550 Palestinian political prisoners in the next two months and has pledged to lift the Gaza Blockade. Shalit was taken as a prisoner of war five years ago by Hamas. He has lived in their captivity for that entire time. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu says the release of Shalit means he has completed his mission. The Palestinian prisoners released have also been in prison for several years and even decades in some cases. Hamas says 1/2 a million Palestinians are taking to the streets to rally for their released brethren.The sites and sounds from both camps seems joyous at the moment, something rare in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The prisoner swap deal is a sign that Hamas and Israel can work together to resolve issues. Was the Galid Shalit for Jailed Palestinians prisoner Swap a smart move by the parties?
