So I give a beautiful set up line like muslims believe the middle east belongs to them and today in the Jerusalem Post they quote Ahmed Tibi as saying things like: “Our skin is the same color of the earth; This land here speaks Arabic.”
Funny how a culture that has no understanding of a property deed slavishly adheres to any U.N. resolution that favors them. Well, some of that colorful, talking dirt is under new management which happens from time to time in the real world. The problem is that you have to actually have some kind of connection to the real world to understand that – it’s called pragmatism and is entirely lacking within Islamic culture – that is why they live in a dream world, they stubbornly prefer it over reality.
The real difference here is that Jews who were invited out of a number of countries across North Africa and the middle east were taken in by their own, while the muslims who act so pissed off about the Palestinian Arabs would not take them in.
Even in Gaza they have so-called refugee camps that aren’t camps according to my understanding of the English language and the people in these ‘camps’ aren’t refugees. It’s just a stupid mindset that holds on to what is gone, gone, gone. At this point it just sounds like a con game to make money which the corrupt leaders grift off; why would any leader making dough from misery want a Palestinian State when they might be left out of the money train? Believe me I understand an attachment to a land but if the Arabs are going to have as long a memory about that land as Jewish folks did then I can see this is going to take a few thousand years to sort out. In that sense, the future is the past and that past is war.
‘Refugee camps’ in other muslim countries exist because they won’t take their ‘brothers’ in because in truth they don’t care about them; so much for the idea of a ‘caliphate’.
The whole thing about the ‘Nakba’ and the camps and the holding on to the past in such a fashion is really disturbing and sad. Mass exchanges of populations have taken place in the same time frame and every one has moved on but these hapless people. Having this type of mindset in America makes me sick – it really, really does.
