I am not *siding* with the CIA; siding with someone means choosing someone's side because you share the same viewpoints. I refer to the CIA World Factbook because if such a site gives factual information about every single country in the world, it is extremely unlikely that *one* country would be overlooked. If it fails to list one country, then the obvious conclusion must be that the country does not exist. I am surprised you are critical of me referring to the CIA World Factbook. One would expect that you of all people would be happy to see me get my information from an *American* source -- especially given the accusations of me being anti-American. >And in the department of repeatedly asked questions: > >1) Jeroen, do you believe that the entity of "Palestine" is exhibiting >goodwill towards Israel? > >Still waiting...... Then you have been wasting your time. The question was already answered in reply to someone else's post. Happy searching.
