"Are you really telling me that it is fear of what "the powerful coalition of Arab/Muslim nations" (name some of them) can wreak on the international community - that has led it to help Kosovo gain its independence from Serbia?"(Zeev) Actually you brought Serbia into this and you won't let go of it. I thought we were discussing who is responsible for the stalemate in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. But seeing that you insist on discussing Serbia, I'll oblige you and say YES and YES again, the Arab/Muslim bloc WAS influential in the outcome of Kosovo. Poor Serbs, they cannot match the political and oil power of the Arab/Muslim lobby. But times will be changing just wait and see Zeev. There are a lot of people out there who have had enough of terrorism and blackmail. Poor Zeev who will you complain to after the change of tide that is coming?
