To understand Palestinian stupidity in particular & Arab stupidity in general, google “Muslim Inbreeding”.

It will explain a lot.

“author has no clue what she is ranting about

There’s a reason.

She’s a Palestinian.”

There is no such thing as “Palistinian”!

The correct term for such Koranimals is
“Palisimian” - “Palisimian”, not “Palistinian”, got it?

;-)

My sister-in-law and her husband are to the left of Stalin and they get ALL their news from Al Jazeera “because they tell the truth”. They do not believe anything but Al Jazeera. When I got a short wave radio receiver, the husband, being a big time engineer, set it up and put Al Jazeera as the first station on there. If I ever have need to use that radio, Al Jazeera is coming off.

"that’s right we have institutional racism and the dolts in the middl east just hate everyone who isn’t muslim.....head cuts anyone???"

If they think we we have institutional racism, can we at least talk about it? I hate to be accused of something we don't even consider...

No, Zimmerman’s PROSECUTION was the result of institutional racism endemic to the United States.

It was a travesty that an honest, cut and dried case of self defense resulted in a rabid media circus complete with mass-hysteria, bald-faced lies and propaganda, and thousands of death threats.

That the case advanced to the point of a show trial is nothing less than abomination.

I’m frankly amazed that Zimmerman wasn’t offered up as a blood sacrifice. The only thing that stood between him and a socially sanctioned, government sponsored, media driven lynching was his defense counsel and a jury that took a brave stand for objective truth.

Succint and most accurate, your assessment.

Lynching of Zimmermans , et al to be coming soon, were it not for a hard line forming.

They might not wish to cross it.

Ultimately, the trial was theatre because the decision to clear Zimmerman was effectively made the same day that he shot Trayvon, a 17-year-old African American.

I wonder if this lady has bothered to read how the state of Florida pulled every trick in the book to undermine the defense's case. They withheld evidence, they sprung things at the last second, they stacked the deck at every turn. If some kind of institutional "decision" had been made in favor of Zimmerman, how do you explain this?

I don’t consider a discussion based on an accusation from Al Jazeera to be very worthwhile . rather like trying to discuss race with Eric Holder, BO, Al, or Jesse. The truth is that no discussion will ever be held because the other side refuses to deal in facts. I refuse to be called racist or to see racism at every turn just because some people have gotten their feelings hurt.

Anyone who would suggest that there is institutional racism in the US must be willing to talk about the racism against whites and asians as well as blacks. That will never happen. So since we can’t have an honest discussion about real problems the answer is no we can’t discuss it.

I’m getting the impression that Palestinians are predisposed to stupidity. It is constantly on display in venue after venue. It’s kind of hard to avoid generalization.


The result of dozens of generations of inbreeding.

They’re doing exactly what the Soviets did: cause internal conflict.

They don’t really care about justice. They want the USA to self-destruct.

“Institutional” = invisible; apparent to no one; therefore it may be attributed in even the total absence of evidence
