Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    I believe xxxs deserved a state, they have lived in that area like the arabs for ages; Israel has the right to exist. When it comes to issue of Jerusalem, I think it should belong neither to the Israels nor to the Palestinians, it should be an independent city. And finally there should be a two state solution between the two of course.

    Now when it comes to the conflict between the two, honestly blaming it on one side entirely is inappropriate. The Arab countries in the region have from the start attempted to destroy Israel, and naturally Israel has responded in order to survive. Have they done wrong things also? Of course they have.

    But not at the expense of the Arabs.

    "What we want is not that the country be united and whole, but that the united and whole country be xxxish."

    History's repeating itself... first it was the Palestinian notables and landowners who sold land to the Zionists, then stirred up the dispossessed population against the xxxs, now they're again selling land for some petty authority over a people stripped of everything...

Even US is strained with Israel over several issues, so it's not the best atmosphere for a peace deal right now. Calling it the "struggle for free Palestine" is kind of absurd, as any viable solution is going to be two-state, so Palestine will be officially independent one day or later. Really it's solving those issues like the new settlements or the status of Jerusalem, those touchy subjects are the real problems here. Honestly I think Jerusalem should be an international city, city state, like Vatican City. With the governance headed by all three main religions that are represented there. Of course getting Israel to budge on this will be very hard, even getting them to stop new settlements is hard. But on other hand, people are also going to have to get used to Israel being there, and being a viable state, energy should not be put in trying to wipe out Israel, but trying to work out the best deal with the Israelis.

    The problem is not the negotiating position of the Palestinian Authority. The problem is Israel and the unconditional and unquestioning support from its poodle, America. The leaks prove that.
    ARF needs to hold on to impossible cause.....somebody has to and can't let off for future sake, as outragious it might seem (more outragious things have happened in the world).

    As far as Israel and US, why would anyone blame them for pushing only for their own interests? are they obligated to make concession to the Pals?

    I blame the Arabs more than US in this struggle. Now they are not only bending over for Israel without benefit of vaseline , they are bargenning away with our Armenian quarter as well, getting us mixed up in the crap. They are a trader to the cause, Iranians have more decency towards Pals then Arabs do for their brothers.

    It is true what they say.....the Arabs will fight the Israelis to the last Palestinian.
