They also have Palestinian communities, and full Arabic language support. See http://community.livejournal.com/free_palestine http://community.livejournal.com/arabic_lang http://moomin13.livejournal.com/ Many people in LiveJournal would welcome sharing thoughts and stories with additional Palestinian members, so feel free to give the site a try. http://www.pledgebank.com/palestineblogs#comment_8322 Blogger.com replied today : Hello, Thanks for your feedback in this matter.

Kind regards, -- Scott Campbell Blog.com Support http://www.pledgebank.com/palestineblogs#comment_8193 this is racism http://www.pledgebank.com/palestineblogs#comment_8177 Ashat Falasteen! http://www.pledgebank.com/palestineblogs#comment_8160 What you can do next? You can invite as little as 5 more friends of yours to sign it. But the most important part is to send an email request asking the blog services to add 'Palestine' to their country list: Blogger.com Support: support@blogger.com Blog.com Support: support@blog.com Myspace.com Support: support@myspace.com Yahoo 360 Feedback: http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/360/cgi_feedback Spaces.msn.com Form: http://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=spaces&page=support_home_options_form_byemail&ct=eformts Here is a copy of my email to them (feel free to use): ########## Dear Sir/Madam, I've noticed that your services does not list 'Palestine' in the country list, where the blogger can select his country. Imagine you are a Palestinian blogger, and you have no choice to identify where you exist and live, because the blog engine that you are using does not identify Palestine in their country list. Is that a denial of existence? Ignorance? Intentional or unintentional bias? We hope note. But then, should 'Palestine' be added? Yes, very much! Therefore, I urge your respected service to list Palestine in the country list ASAP! Thanks for your understanding and quick action. ########## http://www.pledgebank.com/palestineblogs#comment_8155 There are alot of Palestinian bloggers, and we need the name of our identity to be recognized. Peace
