I don't have to agree with you nor do I need to believe in my ability to convince you of my opinions in order for debate to be mutually enlightening. I don't expect we will ever really agree, but at least we can force each other to refine our point of view.

Irregardless of the current situation, I still say Memritv is fascinating. At least click on a few of the clips before you come to a conclusion. I won't say that they are not politically loaded...they most certainly are, but even propaganda has to be structured in a format that it's intended audience will accept. As such, you can learn a lot about everyone involved.

Furthermore, Memritv is relatively tame compared to what is aired by a lot of arab states. Many of the basic points that are brought up (particularly by the guy I mentioned above) are relevant regardless of political subtleties.

Edit: And if you take the time to listen to a few clips, I suspect you can find videos which support your views. If not on that sight, then elsewhere.
