It is interesting to watch posters on the wrong side of an issue, i.e. supporting the oppression of a people through overwhelmingly military power, patting each other on the back. I wonder if they feel the same way about how the Chinese treat the Tibetans or how the Turks treat the Kurds?
Yes, it is quite interesting to see those like montelatici bring up the Kurds and the Tibetans. These unfortunate people have been brought up many times, but you never see those like montelatici calling for a country for the Kurds even though they number many, many millions more than the "Palestinians." Of course, you never see them ever mentioning that the Tibetans are occupied by the Chinese because they only want people to think about Israel and the "Palestinians." Has montelatici mentioned that part of Cyprus is occupied by the Muslim Turks? Meanwhile Tibetan women are forced to get abortions so that the Tibetan culture will die out, while the "Palestinians" are growing by leaps and bounds. Maybe montelatici should sit down with the Dalai Lama on his next visit to the U.S. and commiserate with him about the plight of his people. By the way, His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, has a web site. Why not try to contact him and ttell him that you are crying crocodile tears for his people?
Of course I support a Kurdish state, always have. And criticize the Chinese in there treatment of the Tibetans. There are forums that discuss these issues and I make my point on those threads just as I do on this one. I am not a hypocrite as most of you are. You support Israeli Jew oppression of Christians and Muslims but criticize the oppression of the Kurds and Tibetans.
Cyprus is a much different situation. The Greeks were about to commit genocide on Cyprus as explained by the U.S Secretary of State at the time:
"In his memoirs, American Undersecretary of State George Ball said: "Makarios's central interest was to block off Turkish intervention so that he and his Greek Cypriots could go on happily massacring Turkish Cypriots. Obviously we would never permit that. "The fact is, however, that neither the United Nations, nor anyone, other than Turkey ever took effective action to prevent it. On Feb. 17, 1964 the Washington Post reported that "Greek Cypriot fanatics appear bent on a policy of genocide."
