I repeat my initial question, add "Palestinians that don't even live in the same country and aren't helping cause the mess," "Palestinians who are actually working for peace," Palestinians who and then point out that white Americans didn't even exist until 200 years ago.
Everyone invaded someone else. That's how it's worked throughout history. Just because some group can claim to be older than another doesn't make them any less valid.
Cairo's somewhere other than Illinois? Are you sure Hatshepsut didn't break gender roles by becoming pharoh of Illinois.
Next you'll tell me that Paris and Moscow aren't just towns in Arkansas.
Well, what do you expect? He and Hitler were tight, yo. Now if he had massacred legions of bunnies...
Probably because assholes from all walks of life have a tendency to twist everything around them for their own gain. It's hardly a trait of any one people.
Technically so are Australians (not including the natives, duh). Only they weren't wanted by the British Empire. There were no Australains thousands of years ago.
And didn't Utah start out being populated by a group of people considered mentally ill and driven to homelessness because otherwise they'd be locked up as criminals or lynched since they just happened to have another culture? And that one's been around only 150ish years. And what about the inital American colonists? I mean, they were certainly considered scum by the homeland.
So here's a point: No one can choose where and to whom they are born. What they do later in life should be judged, not their heritage. This is where nurture takes the reigns over nature, because if an entire group of people, which includes children who still retain innocence until someone corrupts it (because, contrary to popular belief, Palestinians aren't spawned from pits of filth from hell...they actually procreate like other humans, being human themselves). Next you'll tell me that all blacks are criminals, all Italians are sleazy, all Mexicans are dirty liars, all Dutch are stoners, all Germans are murdering fascists, and all Jews are money-hoarding spawn of Satan.
Look, love the history lesson and all (that I've read a bazillion times before) but my point remains the same. Spouting a bunch of historical crap doesn't change the fact that I hate people who will hate an entire group of people because part of them are doing shitty things. I hate the Palestinians who hate the Jews without any reason other than they're Jewish. Now if a Palestinian hated a particular Jew because he killed his father or whatever, that's fine. But if the guy hates all Jews because of that, well...they all didn't kill your daddy. Get over it.
This is why racism is completely beyond my grasp. I don't understand it. At all. I can understand hating a certain character trait, but those sorta encompass everyone, no matter of religion, nationality, or shoe size.
I'm anxiously waiting for someone to hate me and my mother's family because Vlad stuck some heads on pikes. I'm sure they're out there.
So did a lot of others. And I bet street performers were too, whether or not they knew what was happening.
I've known people who were so desperate that they'd commit some petty crime just to go to jail and have a place to sleep and plenty of food. It's called being poor. It makes you do things you don't want to. I wouldn't doubt it if a lot of those parents don't support the terrorist assholes, much less want to sacrifice a child, but must do it to keep the rest of their family alive. Were I on that level of poverty, I might do the same myself. Granted I could never know if I would do something like that. Given my history I might just commit suicide myself without the bombing others part because it's easier, though if I had kids that would be a different story. Of course I'd have to have kids to further figure this out, but I'm not about to do that, even if it means I'll get a boatload of money from the government.
All of these tell me that you are a racist jackass who can't tell the difference between a group of people and a group of people within that group of people who are causing problems.
You: "All cops are corrupt, drug-dealing racists who would love nothing more than to put every colored person in jail."
Sane People: "There are way too many corrupt cops, but that doesn't mean they're all bad."
I pity you. Seriously. Your world must be dark and miserable. I can't imagine living like that. I certainly never would want to. It makes me sick. Doesn't matter who the target group is. Bigotry is still bigotry. That and stupidity are the roots of all the world's problems. In any region. And the two happen to go together. Which just makes everything worse.
Yeah, well, who hasn't? I mean, we've all been there, right?
