You say that when you lived in North Africa/Middle East, you met Palestinian refugees. There you learned to understand their reality and you don't want to see your new refugees and their friends hurt America again.
Sometimes it is better not to attack the response before you understand the meaning of the original poster.
SSSHHHEEEEESSSSHHHHH
I wonder if there is a single statement in the world you are unable to twist...
Maybe you lost the meaning of what I was saying in the middle of all the other posts but why is that I doubt it??
This is the right
CONTEXT of my post:
Dillo said:
It appears to me that differrent terrorist groups have different targets. Some concentrate on Israel, others concentrate on specific western countries and thier interests and some are attempting to keep Iraq from going democratic.
My answer:
Take it from someone who already lived in the Middle East dillo... Anti-americanism there is 95% Israel/Palestine...AT LEAST
This is what I was trying to say:
Anybody who already lived in the muslim world can only laugh at the ridiculous statement that anti-americanism in the Middle East is due to a few thousands american troops stationed in saudi arabia.
Anybody who already lived in the muslim world can only laugh at the ridiculous statement that arabs resent America because they want to turn the whole world into a worldwide caliphate.
Anybody who already lived in the muslim world can only laugh at the ridiculous statement that anti americanism in the middle east has exactly 473 causes.
ANYBODY WHO LIKE ME, ALREADY LIVED IN THE MUSLIM WORLD KNOW THAT ARAB/MUSLIM RESENTMENT TOWARDS AMERICA IS RELATED ALMOST IN ITS ENTIRETY TO THE ISRAELI/ PALESTINIAN PROBLEM.( AND THIS IS WHAT HELPS BIN LADEN/AL QAEDA FIND ITS RECRUITS, WITHOUT WHOM HE IS JUST A GUY LIVING IN A CAVE WAITING TO DIE OF KIDNEY FAILURE).
Anti-americanism in the Middle East has two basic causes: Israel/Palestine and muslim fundamentalism.
But what really attracts young arabs to islamic militancy is exactly
NATIONALISTIC CAUSES like Palestine.
I could see this for myself in Syria, Jordan and Algeria.
Dillo asked you: what have the refugees done to America?
The answer I had already given him was that Palestinian refugees never did any harm to America, but their plight is, by far, the most important reason that leads other arabs to do.
If there is an arab in the world who does not wish to see the end of this conflict,
IT HAS TO BE BIN LADEN.
Now, did you finally understand my words or are you going to distort them once again???
PS. ItÂ’s quite ironic that you chose to quote Locke to refute my points on Israel, since this english thinker conceived a kind of society that is everything Israel is not: a color blind society, a society made up of citizens not ethnicities.
