I said "How stupid of you it is to expect all different, non-Jewish peoples residing in the Palistine to consider themselves "a people!""
You said "And how brilliant of you to suck right up to the Palestine Liberation Organisation party line, created AFTER the 1948 invasion. If a "People" do not align by race, birth, religion, or geographical location but only by the Political aims of a terrorist organisation I kinda view them as a political terrorist movement, not a people. Doh... Palestinians are a "People" in the sense New Yorkers are a "People." It's just where they live (not a fricking ideology like Zionism). The PLO arose after the UN-imposed undemocratic Israel creation mandate caused global chaos. Did the SovComs hijack anti-UN Mandate causes for Arafat or did Arafat matchmake and grow his support base like a any good cult leader? $$$? In any case, Fatty survived the power struggles and wins elections. I'm 100% sure you know why and would love to tell me!
Seems to me that the political aspect of Palestinianism is defined most crucially by the negative of Jewish Statism. That negative takes the form of Back-To-The-Caliphate-ism only because of the particular recent history of the area. Being anti-Zionism doesn't automatically make someone pro-extreme-Islam. That's the stuff of strawman agruments, and isn't worthy of freerepublic.
Fundamentalists, whether Islamis or Isrealis, are both equally anti-Palestine. They war over whether the Palestine will be a Jewish or Muslim caliphate. It's a family thing. Hatfield Vs McCoy. Irresolvable becaues they both can't have the Hill.
The Bedoin/Jewish/Muslim/Christian/Anamist/Gnostic Joe Boobtubes of Palestine probably just want a return to a multicultural society under agnostic administration. Who was running things when Syria and Lebanon were exotic flowers in full bloom? My and future generations will only see them as backward armpits of humanity, thanks to the results of U.N. actions circumventing the Consent of the Governed. (call the whaaambulance, right?)
Are you often reminded of that concept over there in Storybook Land?
Uhh. Jooos don't have Caliphs. That is a Turkish muslim thing. New Yorkers are a culture formed over several centuries: Dutch, English, American rule but New York is a state of mind. The PLO and its Egyptian leader were supported by the Arab states since they could divert the attention of their semi educated population away from their despotic and greedy dictatorial control over their countries. The name Hama mean anything to you? 25,000 Syrians lived there until Assad and his bully boys killed them all and bulldozed the town. Kurdistan? Thank Saddam Hussein for that.
And the Joooooos are evil in your tiny closed little mind for the crime of: a democratic state, attempts to live with their Arab neighbors (Arabs that stayed in their villages are citizens with full rights); taking in 880,000 Jews who were thrown out of every Arab country (except the Judenrein Saudi Arabia) and not keeping these impoverished folks in "refugee camps" for the next 50 years as a propaganda device. The Arabs and the Palis had the chance to crawl out of the 7th century they are terminally mired in as recently as a year ago. Please account for the millions of dollars the US, UN, EU and Arab states gave the PA over the last several years. How much went to starting and improving small businesses, funding education, industry and improving the living conditions of the vast majority of the Arabs on the West Bank & in Gaza? Can you answer that without sounding like a bad video game?
