first of all, the Palestinian plight is a bit different than the so called "arab spring"...And its NOT an "arab spring", this was all induced by the west, planned long before Feb. 2011. The elite used facebook and twitter also to control the uprising in Egypt. Here is a video showing that I knew about chaos starting in Egypt and expanding all across the middle east. I knew this in October of 2010, 4months before it happened. and here is the video to prove it. This video, also predicted oil to go up in 2012, and oil is now hitting $109 a barrel. Lindsey Williams also says the dollar is history before end of 2012, guess we will have to wait and see, but Lindseys predictions over the last ten years have been 100%. He gets his info from the elite. The info I get from Alex Jones (infowars.com), is par to none. He exsposed the underwear bomber as a patsy with a journalist/attorney that was in the airport and on the same plane. You should research it, its an amazing story..Here is the video about the middle east uprising. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa3X4paPCGo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db6sePbjhoQ off topic but here is the proof that the underwear bomber was a CIA patsy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDdF3xkD6SI
