I tried to explain that and was called a racist...

I just want to clarify something, minor detail...Palestine is not a recognized country. :)

When I gave a geography/history lesson on why Dr. Phil erred in calling any part of the middle east "Palestine", I was given some pretty nasty feedback.

Even though I said absolutely nothing insulting about Palestinians or Muslims, I still made people very angry.

I was only trying to point out that while this man was a Palestinian, Katherine did not fly to Palestine, since there is no country or state named Palestine.

I recognize that this was not the main point of the story, I just thought Dr. Phil should have been more careful when referring to any area of the middle east.

I Just want to clarify that on the 17 of may the US President George W Bush met the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas in Egypt, and for a person to become a president he must have a "recognized country" to rule :D and if you want to check this information plzz go the BBC news website on the following link:
