    A very slow person would already know that the man's nationality is not being questioned. What is being lampooned is the false claim of his ' Israeli-ness '. I say this because Israel doesn't deserve any accolades itself. It's an undemocratic sore on the ass-end of the Middle East. Again, I congratulate the man on his achievements- but his nationality has nothing to do with those achievements. He was born in Palestine and made his major discoveries in America. So shut the hatch on the ' Israeli-ness ' bollox. Hitler isn't infamous for being an Austrian.

    You must have missed one of my previous posts

    NY Times: Israeli Scientist Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    Buenos Aires: Israeli Scientist Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    Reuters: Israeli Scientist Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    France: Israeli Scientist Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    India: Israeli Scientist Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    Turkey: Israel's Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry
    Egypt: Israel's Daniel Shechtman wins Nobel Prize in chemistry

    He is Israeli to the entire world (except you and Bishadi of course). Oh and btw, other Israeli Nobel prize winners this century:
    1. Daniel Shechtman, Chemistry, 2011
    2. Ada E. Yonath, Chemistry, 2009
    3. Robert Aumann, Economics, 2005
    4. Aaron Ciechanover, Chemistry, 2004
    5. Avram Hershko, Chemistry, 2004
    6. Daniel Kahneman, Economics, 2002
    This is Israel's 4th Nobel prize in Chemistry in 7 years. I hate to ruin your second day in a row but their 'Israeli-ness' does appear to have something to do with the number of Nobel prizes the tiny country has been winning lately.

    What difference does it make? How many Inuits have won Nobel prizes compared to Zulus? See, I can inject irrelevance too...

    good on him!

    those who have helped science move forward despite opposition from within their ranks are the heroes of science, and should be recognised for their achievements.

    Given the number of discussions on Israel and the Middle East it's important to note the western, progressive, democratic nature of Israel, the culture of innovation, science, technology, education...

    Needless to say that's not what you want to hear as all you want is to demonize Israel all day long. Tough luck.

    Oh, but it is relevant. Bushadi claims the winner of the Nobel prize is an Arab. Try again.

    What's really funny is how bigots keep tryiing to change the truth.

    Why do you keep trying to make the winner of the Nobel Prize an Arab? Why is it so important to you?

    ask him, not me

    i believe he is but likewise, an arab born child can believe in judaism, too.

    Heck, there are jewish believers from all over the world.

    and the majority are not israeli citizens nor arabs

    i hate the misuse and abuse of people by religious wingnuts

    the thread was opened up by a bigot trying to suggest jews are better than other people.

    then to read your posts, you have already fell into the ignorance of what bigots have tried to tell people.

    ie.... redefining 'arab'................

    an arab is a person of a region

    a jew is just a person who follows judaism

    an israeli can be of any religion (may not have the same rights but just the same)

    Hebrew is a language.

    No, it's more than a language. The term was used in Genesis to describe Abraham.

    Gen: 14:13
    Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram.

    Another accomplishment of Israelis: Robbing from the American people even as they betray us.

    Should the American taxpayer be compelled to send billions in welfare payments to the state of Israel? Couldn't this money be spent here in the U.S., or better yet used to reduce our enormous deficit?

    The Cost of Israel to the American People

    quote: In the 1997 fiscal year, for example, Israel received $3 billion from the foreign aid budget, at least $525 million from other U.S. budgets, and $2 billion in federal loan guarantees. So the 1997 total of U.S. grants and loan guarantees to Israel was $5.5 billion. That's $15,068,493 per day, 365 days a year.

    Another article: Economist tallies swelling cost of Israel to US

    I don't understand why we have to pay Israel's bills. What has Israel ever done for America?

    1) Israel has not shown gratitude. For example, Israeli spies have seriously damaged American interests

    Breaking the Taboo on Israel's Spying Efforts on the United States
    Israel runs one of the most aggressive and damaging espionage networks targeting the U.S., yet public discussion about it is almost nil.

    AIPAC Spying, Why Is The FBI Looking The Other Way?

    quote: America learned, long ago with the infamous Jonathan Pollard case, that secrets going to Israel end up in the hands of America's enemies. America's most vital Cold War defense information, nuclear technology, air defense systems, classified weapons and even NATO defense plans in case of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, all went to Russia as part of an arrangement between the Soviets and Israel.

    2) Israel has re-exported advanced weapons to America's adversary China. What gratitude! America has suffered through embargoes for Israel and even fought wars for Israel and this is how we are repaid?

    Selling US Weapons To China

    quote: Israel has illegally re-exported advanced US defense technology to China. The problem was first recognized in 1992 when the State Department's inspector general reported that there was "overwhelming" evidence of a "systematic and growing pattern" of transfers. Israel has been the primary supplier of advanced defense technology to China since 1989.

    3) Why is America subservient to Israel? Our politicians are bribed to betray their country. Real Americans should be outraged! America belongs to the people not the lobbyists.

    National Capital Insiders Vote AIPAC, Israel's American Lobby, Second Most Powerful Interest Group in Washington

    4) Israel's extremism endangers American troops according to General Petraeus.

    quote from Petraeus: The [Israel-Palestine] conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR [Centcom's Area of Responsibility] and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support.

    Israel cares about its own selfish interests, not American troops.

    5) I hate to see Americans made fools of by the Israelis.

    Sharon to Peres: "We Control America"

    America is a great country, we don't have to be Israel's puppet. Why should patriotic Americans support Israeli extremists? Makes no sense.

    "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing" (Genesis 12:1 & 2).

    "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:3).


    Better wise up, people.

    thanx for sharing the problem:

    The religious literature has many errors
    If that is representing reality, then please tell me what this means:

    Gen 3:22 And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and lived to the age,'


    If you can take a line item that is using a term to identify a 'hebrew' then why do people not see that man can 'create' beliefs, themselves?

    ie..... i stated that judaism is a belief. Just like like christian is a belief. just as islam is a belief.............. and mankind created all of them.

    Proof; mankind created 'words'

    biblically: Gen 3:20 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been mother of all living.


    Upon consciousness being born (from instinctive; naked and in the garden to aware of itself).......... mankind created labels of things (the words)


    In relevance to the debate; people created the idea that jew is a people, when in fact comprehensively any and all can sustain that 'jew' is just a label of a jewish adherant. (a believer of the literature)

    In all cases, mankind is just human!


    These are grounds to establish equality and if people want to argue, they will lose in the end, period!

    Lying to the self is as easy as believing mankind left 'the garden' yet all are breathing oxygen, eating food, pooping and then being buried in the earth. There is no divide from mankind and the 'garden' (nature) no matter which lie, from which book, from any belief, anyone wants to put up.

    what is real is not just what a bunch of wingnuts tell you to believe
