Yet after you see the top and after he runs up to his kids you can see it again and it is spinning normally. Sooooo...... i guess the top was going backwards.....maybe.......ok now im going to walk away before my brain explodes. Go ahead. Sh*t bricks.

I wish more people would take your level-headed approach (on both sides of the conflict), a solution would truly seem negotiable then.

Now, I would like to say that I am not screaming pro-Israel bias.  I am trying to correct misconceptions.  I, personally, fully support a two-state solution.  I believe that Israel needs to work harder to dismantle illegal settlements.  I believe that Israel should be constantly reaching out to the Palestinians in attempts to peace.  Likewise, Palestine needs to show that it is willing to engage in peace by ceasing to support terrorist organizations.  The Israeli and Palestinian people both want peace.  I believe that this is possible.  It hurts me to know that a close friend of mine, who is Palestinian, cannot return to his home.  It hurts me to hear from family I have in Israel of recent bombings around them.  I wish there to be an end to warfare and to do this, we need to stop seeing this as black and white.  This is not a tale of the oppressed and an oppressor.  This is the tale of two oppressed people, two scarred people desperately trying to make the other bleed more.
