The majority of Americans want a government sponsored healthcare system, or an expanded Medicare for all. This has been shown in different polls. Obama sold what the insurance and pharmaceutical companies wanted.

BOB you are a bigoted racist.. Now you ignorantly insult a religious faith that more than a billion people follow. No matter what faith it might have been, you can not blatantly make racist remarks without any knowledge of it. You insult a man who has been regarded, by people of other faith as well, as one of the greatest men in the history of mankind. You make absolutely false remarks about the religion. Women are treated equally as men in Islam, and there is no dispute regarding how women are judged with respect to Islamic values of the Quran. The terms that you refer to are not part of the religion, even if they might be practiced by some fanatic people.
However, you seem to be too ignorant to understand this. You see extremists in the Swat valley, in Afghanistan, their practices, their implementation of Sharia law (which is by no means Islamic and is cruel and unjust) and come to conclusions regarding Islam. You did not even bother to read what I wrote in my last comment. I said that a lot of the acts, and in fact, I should now mention, most acts, of the Arab governments were contrary to Islamic values. I was not defending any Arab or even the Iranian government. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of the American and Israeli governments and many of their media outlets in judging the region. Unfortunately, you did not understand any of that.
You also did not understand my comparison of Saudi Arabia and Iran. I already mentioned that the government in Iran was not okay, but somehow you jump to the conclusion that by bringing up Iran, I point to a democratic example to be followed by others. And when it comes to comparing the two countries, Iran is definitely more democratic. Women in Saudi Arabia are regarded as lesser beings or even worse, whereas in Iran, more than half college students are female, they had a female vice president and there is a lot more openness regarding many other issues than in most Arab countries. By this, I do not mean that there is no unfair treatment.
What I was trying to emphasize was that US and Israeli media outlets, at least the mainstream ones, were biased in judging the countries. They try to show that Iran is worse than Saudi Arabia or Egypt, and when they don't depict them as worse, they try to equate them. And in most cases, people and regimes are labeled moderates, liberals and extremists based on how favorable their views are of the American and Israeli administrations' actions, not on how liberal or extreme their views or actions in their countries are.
I think I condemn the genocide in Darfur more strongly than you do. I make this conclusion on the basis that you conditionally disregard the loss of life, in failing to condemn the Israeli army's actions in Gaza, and who knows, maybe even the actions that took more than a million Iraqi lives.

It was started by an Israeli, and to monitor discussion of Arab-Israeli issues... that is exactly why it is biased. No wonder it will show only the negatives of the Arab world, and define liberals as it requires. There is no doubt that a lot of the acts of Arab regimes are undemocratic, totalitarian and are contrary to Islamic values, but these biased organizations do not base their judgment on these acts. Arabs with rational views are also labeled extreme if their views with regards to Arab-Israeli issues are critical of the American and Israeli administrations. In fact, this is inherent in US foreign policy and in the US media, where the dictatorial regimes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt are considered "okay", but the far more democratic governments in Syria and Iran are depicted as ruthless and brutal. I am not saying that these governments are okay either, but the double standards that have been used to judge the Middle East is evident and unparalleled. As for MEMRI, they are well known for cutting out parts of interviews, articles and videos to depict people and organizations critical of Israeli policy as hostile.

There is no propaganda here. The continuing injustice in Gaza is nothing new and has been well documented in various forms. This video shows only parts of ample visual evidence of the suffering in Gaza. It seems you're the one who knows nothing about Gaza.
