40. I don't like this statement much.
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 02:44 AM by Shaktimaan
It is unpleasantly reminiscent to me of that old suggestion, "Everywhere the Jews go in the world people seem to hate them and massacre them... hmmmmmm?! Isn't that just the dag-burned most weirdest dang coincidink? Maybe we should consider (just CONSIDER) the possibility that there might not be something wrong with EVERYBODY else on the planet after all, but with the JEWS themselves!?"

Of course there are constantly problems with the Palestinians... they are constantly oppressed and used as pawns by every other Arab state as part of a larger political strategy that doesn't benefit them in the least, they have been in a state of constant conflict with the strongest military force in the region, their corrupt leadership has stolen most of their aid money and either foolishly/selfishly squandered opportunities to advance their nation's cause or purposefully assassinated it in the service of a fundamentalist political agenda, and, and, AND... so on.

Even the American Indians have themselves some fucking casinos, man. The Palestinians haven't got much beyond the shaft and an impressive sounding narrative to present.
