as far as illegal land grab is concerned, like most other problems on the face of the earth, USA and europe is to blame for.after the holocaust,the jews should have been given a land in europe to create a nation for themselv rather than dumping them into some faraway desert.
Appreciate where you are saying. I would encourage you to see the following BBC documentary about the history of Israel/Palestine. It's very balanced and gives a very good account of what really happened.
Promises and Betrayals:
Basically, the British convinced the Arabs to backstab the Ottoman Turks in exchange for the promise of a pan-Arab homeland, and then the British and French screwed the Arabs to appease the Jews and Russians.
He didn't say "A Jewish man" in the first post.
I was going by the thread title.
their method is to highlight grievances and to present these as civilizational grievances. Take the instance of the photo presented in the lead of the thread - note that it is not a vandal and a woman, these two characters in the scene are presented primarily as two religions with one uncivil to the other.
The way I see it, the vandal is not attacking the woman just because she is a woman; he is attacking her because she is a
Palestinian woman.
As you know, in many Western countries, there are special laws for hate crimes, precisely to differentiate them from normal crimes.
Now, was this thread intended to incite religious hatred? I don't know; I guess I didn't see it that way because I see this as a fight against Zionism, not Judaism. Clearly you saw a different intent, and maybe we should leave it as a matter of perception and agree to disagree.
And just between you and me, these Pakrabs rub me the wrong way
I am completely against Saudi/Wahabi influence or any idelogy, for that matter, that advocates intolerance, misogyny and violence, but I have nothing against Pakistanis who are fond of Arab culture. There are Pakistanis who are Westernized; there are Pakistanis who live and breathe Bollywood; so if someone likes Arabs, good for them. It's really none of my business. I think it would be wrong to assume that, just because somebody likes Arab culture, they must be an Islamist.
