Welcome to
Uprooted Palestinians Blog If you believe in Peace & Justice, you belong to this community

H O U S E R U L E S
This is YOUR community, however to ensure that everyone enjoys it we ask you to observe some rules. Membership in this group implies acceptance of the following code of conduct:
1. Any reader/member may post any comment or reply to any message as long as these rules are followed. From experience we know that in an online community of this nature, people have different opinions and may not agree with each other. Therefore, a management team of several volunteers has been assigned to keep this place dedicated to the civil exchange of opinions and ideas, in accordance with these rules.
2. The most important rule to be followed is to be civil and polite and avoid rudeness when posting a comment. We welcome input from all readers as long as they address the issues and do not attack or attempt to insult other members.
3. It is preferred that all members provide a valid email address. However, if you are concerned about your privacy, this preference may be waived.
4. This blog is dedicated to the support of independent decmocratic Palestine from river to sea and to the exchange of ideas about Palestine through the posting of relevant information. This is not a place where false or "Zionist" propaganda against Palestinians is welcome (such propaganda is already available on the world-wide "media"), therefore Zionists are not welcome. While larger Middle East issues cannot be avoided in discussing the Palestinian issue, it is requested that members restrict their messages as much as possible to the Palestinian issue.
5. No racist remarks are allowed when discussing issues you disagree with. Also, attacking another member's religious preference is not allowed. A member may be warned first or banned (deleted) outright by any volunteer on the management team when breaking this or any of these rules.
6. No abusive or threatening behaviour, either directly or indirectly, is permitted against any member/reader or any volunteer on the management team. Anyone breaking this rule shall be warned first and will be banned upon repeating the violation.
7. No pornographic, scatological or "adult" material may be posted by any member. Anyone breaking this rule will be banned without warning.
8. This is an international community. Members' first language may not be English. Please do not correct other people's spelling or grammatical errors unless you need clarification or are invited to do so. However, in order to be understood, please try to write proper and complete words and sentences as much as you can.
9. In order to preserve the bandwidth, avoid wasting members' time and effort, and for the sake of everyone's enjoyment and edification, members may not post "spam" or "junk messages." Spam is defined as any attempt to persist in posting irrelevant, distracting or unrelated "replies" in any specific discussion thread. Members may be warned and banned if they persist in posting such irrelevant "replies" which, in the view of the management team volunteers, appear to be deliberately attempting to disrupt the blog.
10. Members/readers are requested not to post unsubstantiated "facts," because this will only lead to more of the same from both sides. Whenever possible, an obviously controversial subject should be accompanied by a backing source, either from the Web or elsewhere.
11. As an alternative to warning or banning members, management team volunteers may delete a specific comment that in their opinion violates any of these rules. They may or may not offer an explanation. A member whose post has been deleted should consider this action a form of warning that the message violates one or more of these rules.
12. We do not wish to be unfair, biased or arbitrary, but we are all human. In the end, the decision of any of the members of the management team shall be final. If you have any problems, opinions or suggestions for the community, tell the management team!
Enjoy yourselves!!!

I love your rules , especially number 2 , and i love any blog that is free from zionists too .
Well done UP
Some Blogs accept abuse and rudeness in the name of freedom of speech , and disregard sometimes the feelings of a poster who does not like to be insulted and bullied .
We are not supposed to agree on everything and even if we disagree , we as adults can discuss our disagreements and continue to be civil and polite to each other .
I can appreciate the work of a politician but i have the right to condemn his atrocities and arrogance and i do not expect others to insult me simply because i do not share their opinions about such a leader .
I appreciate someone like Vineyardsaker who is very polite and a gentleman, we did disagree on a couple of things before (cant remember exactly) and he gave his own opinion on the matter and continued to be sweet and polite towards me . I expected all people to behave like that on blogs . i was wrong .
Other people like to shove their own opinion down our throats (and insist they are always right ) that s ok it is their right but we have our opinions too .
I hate it when people try to put me down because of my poor English I have apologized before that English is a foreign language to me (Doh ) and mistakes should be forgiven since the main idea is easily understood , Unless i made a big mess of my idea and im ready to rephrase it again .
I do feel very comfortable in French but I have not found many French blogs interested in the Middle East issues . when i meet people whose french is not very good , i will never ever try to mock their french , that would be ver rude . But some pople enjoy doing just that and end up their sentences with LOL . they need to grow up if you ask me .
I m glad this is a blog that renforces a mutual respect . i hope it is respected by others and appreciated .
I love visiting blogs and Learning new facts , new ideas , sharing my opinion with others , even a joke once in a while it is nice But arguing and fighting on a blog is certainly not something i want to do .
some people unfortunately want to do just that . they seem to enjoy fighting and arguing etc.. their lives must be empty , i dont know .
ooops . Sorry Uprooted , sorry michael I did not intend to be that long :) and thank You both .
I noticed you guys are working too hard , i could not believe the input and the analyses you added and addressing certain issues that are not present in the usual "popular" media . Bravo to both You michal and your other friend (sorry forgot his name) . and thanks to Lucia too .
If someone in your group will email me, I have some information that will surely upset the world concerning the jews and their holy land, email danny at zzzgoat@yahoo.com
It truly frustrates me to the core that my fellow suburban Christian clones support "Israel" without, well, frankly looking at their murderous history, or the inconceivable, and horrific manner in which they openly mock our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ on Israeli television? Why is it that my fellow American's are so oblivious to the fact that our government serve's Isreali interest's before our own? Why is it that Arabs who have been on this earth for well over 3000 years of documented history have never before 9/11 attacked us? One might ask; what brought this on? Maybe we need to heed to our own common sense advise. Maybe we need to look at ourselves first and ask; how did we contribute to this unwelcome behavior.
