And that at the time of partition, Jews made up a majority both of residents and owners in the area that they were assigned? And that then the Arab nations united to drive the Jews into the ocean? <br /><br />The attempt to drive Jews into the ocean was in itself pretty disproportionate. Subsequently robbing the Jews in the Arab world and driving them out, also disproportionate. Every subsequent attempt to destroy Israel and the Jews, yes, also disproportionate.<br /><br />How racist to never accuse Arabs of disproportion! Do you feel that it doesn't count because they're just Arabs?<br /><br />I doubt that you're a secular humanist - you're too ignorant and stupid.

Our naive "leftist" or "progressive" appologists for the Palestinians commonly express themselves in a manner that reeks of the White Man's Burden, with such condescendingly racist phrases as "the Arab street will explode in rage", as if Palestinans were somehow lesser beings without conscious control over their baser emotions and behavior. It is similarly condescendingly racist to assert that the Palestinans should be relieved of the predictable consequeces of their actions and choices, as if they were children. The inability to use the same standards for Palestinian behavior as for all other peoples needs to be adressed within this context. Simply, to beleive that Palestinians hae only rights and Jews have only obligations, is equally as racist in both diretions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
