From the Guardian. "What Israelis and Palestinians think"

Comment,  I was a child in the 60s and the 70s and i heard the news everyday because my parents listened to the radio before going to work in the morning and every day we heard the news about the war in Vietnam and the war between Israel and the Palestinians who fought to get back their land and territory .... today the people of Vietnam are doing other things thanks to peace having settled there ....  will i live to see the peace settleing in between the Palestinians and their winning israeli "Surveilance kings"?

So, all in all, I’m vanilla (which is both an expression and part of the buffet of sexual food fantasies). Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D., a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, surveyed almost 4,000 Americans of various religions, ethnic groups and economic backgrounds to see wha...
