you talk out of ur ass quite a bit.
there is no such thing as a “Palestinian people.” or a "Palestinian homeland". That's propaganda. Palestinians are the same Arabs that live in Syria, Jordan as well as Lebanon. Never at any time in history did the “Palestinians” have a homeland.
Palestinians are not a distinct people which never had or even claimed such a homeland. ur feeble attempt at trying to appear intelligent has faiiled miserably!
if the Arabs had accepted the UN's partition plan, they would have had their “Palestinian homeland” for almost 60 years. until the six-day war, the territories involved were under the control of Jordan and Egypt. only after the six-day war in 1967, when the territories reverted to Israeli control did the claim for a “Palestinian homeland” arise.
Puerto Rico is a territory. NOT Israel Einstien....
Israel is a moden day country or "State" as it was founded under.
the Arab's got their ass kicked for land that they WANTED and are still pissed off about it till this very day. those are the facts. in order to defend ones self there has to be an aggressor. the aggressor is not the Israelis its the cowards launching rockets so once again get ur facts straight before you shoot ur mouth off about something you obviously know nothing about.
and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out cause no one will miss you from coming here. learn a little about history before you accuse others of having a twisted perspective and being ignorant when its YOU that's the ignorant one here.
You accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about, then make patently untrue statements which reveal your lack of sociological knowledge and understanding of how cultures become nations.
Firstly, you say that there's no such thing as a "Palestinian People" or "Palestinian homeland"...this is completely false, as the group of people we know as Palestinians share a common group heritage and culture, as well as a history of occupying a specific region in the world. These things make the existence of a Palestinian culture, with a historical homeland and a nationality a viable concept.
Secondly, in regards to the partition plan put forth by the British government, there are several arguments that can be made as to why that plan was flawed from the Arabian perspective, not the least of which being that the plan awarded the jewish people 56% of the region though they only represented 33% of the populaton. Being that I wasn't a resident of the area nor even alive at the time of this proposal, I can only theorize as to what all the concerns were in regards to its propositions were, but looking at the 1918 British census, which indicated that 7.5% of the regional population was Jewish and 92.5% was Arab makes it tough for me to argue against the historical assertion that the area is their homeland.
Thirdly, when you refernce Puerto Rico as a territory and attempt to contrast that to Israel as a State, you are using political definitions of the word while I was using Geographic definitions. Here's the definition of Territory as per freedictionary.com for reference: 1. An area of land; a region.
Fourthly, in response to your statement talking about arabs getting their asses kicked for land they "WANTED"...I'll refer you back to the British census of 1918 which clearly shows the region as populated by more than 90% Arabic people...they didn't just want the land then, it was theirs already; there's more argument that can be made that the jewish people (working with the Colonial British government) immigrated and stole the land out from under them.
Fifthly, you make the statement that in order to defend ones self there has to be an aggressr. This statement is a pretty obvious "chicken and egg" scenario, as each side claims the other as the inital aggressor, and depending on how far back you go, there's evidence that can point to both sides being right.
You then go on to call the Palestinian fighters as "cowards launching rockets"...but really, how would you advise them to attempt to carry on their fight? If we simple dispense the larger issue of whether or not they even have a legitimate reason for attacking israel, and simply look at is from a tactical perspective, the fight is so lopsided as to be almost comical. The quality and quantity of arms on each side is so totally unbalanced that the Palestinians have no real option but to conduct a guerrilla style war. Would you advise them to stand up and get crushed by the numerically and technologically superior US backed Israeli military?
Lastly, you make a dismissive (and a little bit rude) statement about how I won't be missed were I to vacate the forums, then suggest I study history some more and call me ignorant. Considering you're making these statements based off of one posting I made, and without bothering to ask me to clarify anything I might have said which you dont agree with or understand my perspective on only really serves to reinforce my inital statement. You make lots of statements without really understanding the historical circumstances surrounding the events, then become overly defensive when I point out that there might be other perspectives that you're failing to consider. The main difference is that even though we disagree politically, I would genuinely miss your presence were you to leave, as I believe that we are all a lot more complex and worthwhile people than our small and isolated posts to each other might indicate.
