yes I do side with the Palestinians because they are my brothers in Islam, but I can also step back and see the situation for what it is, aside from religious disputes, 96%(estimated) of the people who are citizens of Israel are transplants from Europe and other parts of the world, The people who are Palestinians have been living there and got kicked out to make room for these people, now I think the people who came from Europe to escape persecution (jews) should have the right to live there, but they dont have the right to oppress the people who were living there before them. Thats what theyre doing now. Thats like the US giving the state of Texas to the Mexicans who have been persecuted in North Mexico for whatever reason on the basis that the Mexicans ruled the land first, Then the mexicans that move in oppress and segregate the current Americans who have lived in Texas for generations to small tracts of East Texas, and the Panhandle area. You can not blame them for fighting back.
and The kids in Israel get to go to school, go out at night, party if they want to, marry, raise families, take family trips to the USA and Europe. While the kids in Palestine cant go to school because their school was bombed, Cant go out at night because Israel has placed a curfew in the west bank and gaza, they dont get to raise families in normal environments, they dont get to take vacations to Europe and the US. If you cant see the difference between the Palestinian fighting for his rights, and the Israeli kid taking time out of their Painting class to write hate messages on bombs then you chose not to see it, because the difference is clear and right there in front of you.
no I can. I'm just wondering why you think I should care?
Obviously I'm not a muslim so this "brothers in islam" shyt is meaningless to me and most other people on this board. From a purely human perspective, sure you feel sadness for anybody's suffering. But what makes these Palestinian kids more special than all the other children in the third world suffering. Right now there is another famine about to pop off in Somalia that will probably claim the lives of tens of thousands of children (more than are being killed by Israeli bombs). Those Nigerian school girls are still kidnapped. There are millions of children in Africa suffering from malnutrition, lack of education, and fear of violence at every turn. The life of the Palestinian child is not much worse than many African children.
Now how many threads, facebook pages, or twitter campaigns are being done for those kids? Now you see why I'm not gonna waste my time pretendint to care about the Palestinians. There are other folks out there suffering just as much if not more. The only reason ya'll are making a big deal outta this is cause its the Jews that are causing the problems. PERIOD.
me, I hate jews and arabs the same. both are racist fukks and I could give two shyts about them when they fight each other.
