Bruno Mars has a stage presence that reminds me of Michael Jackson. He owns the space, can dance and sing, and even gives homage with his Jackson like head bobs.

I don't know about "multiple", at least that multiple were legitimate, but, they most certainly did turn down the best offer they will ever get when they walked away from the Clinton brokered deal in the late 90's.

That deal gave them 90-95% of what they were asking. When you are negotiating a peace agreement and are the weaker party by magnitudes, you grab 90-95% and run to the hills cheering at your good fortune.

I feel for the palestinians, but it is hard for me to believe their leaders actually want peace when they so callously ignored that offer. Israel does just fine under the current situation, the PLO does just fine under the current system, Hamas would not be able to exist without conflict and best I can tell only the people of Palestine suffer (though to a much lesser extent, Israeli's do to) under the current situation.

What has been some real culture shock to you? Have you done anything, or said anything that people just stared in amazement at you for? Being a typical American (as I would presume you to be) are there any everyday things you could say or do in the states that would be dangerous there?

Have you had any real discussions with teenagers there about the conflict that wasn't just one sided "they are evil, we are innocent"? By this, I mean, realistic on the situation, in that there is fault on both sides and that the current status quo of shooting rockets and throwing rocks, etc, is counter productive?

Seeing that boys make up 50% of children sex trafficked in the US http://www.alternet.org/civil-liberties/10-surprising-and-counterintuitive-facts-about-child-sex-trafficking, why do we only hear about girls?

If I were in player relations, having the player call the police would be the exact advice I would give them. From what I heard of the 911 tapes, the only person acting crazy and aggressive was her, as she trashed his place and attacked him with her shoe.
