theliq, MJB12741,, et al,
I was reading an opinion on the subject from a Berkeley Rabble-Rouser (Joseph Anderson) from 17 years ago. I thought it was a good observation of this subject. I adapted it for my own use. But the backbone was his.
Those Zionists are disgusting. What kind of people make peace offerings to Palestinian squatters, build a security fence & grant them their own land so they can remain in the land. Face it you Zionists, no Arab country, who know the Palestinians best, ever treated them like those Zionists in Israel do. Shame on them.
You are completely right MJ about the Zionists,at least we agree on that..steve....Say NO to RABID ZIONISM
(COMMENT)
The skewed worldview of Arab Palestinian ideology arises, I believe, from a particular psychological phenomenon. I believe that Arab Palestinains are experiencing, on the level of the dysfunctional government they have as a national psyche, the well-known victim's psychological identification reaction, whereby some of those who once want to imitate the abuse and attack
(as European Jews were under Nazism and European anti-Semitism) often go on to abuse and attack Israeli Jews. This is in the false belief that no one else, in the Arab Palestinian's mind, has ever really suffered what they have suffered --- as the modern day victim found a monopoly on "real" pain, and a failure to validate as a real people and government that might contribute something of value to humanity. Such victims (here the Arab Palestinians) think that they could never become brutalizers or oppressors themselves, and that no one else can ever really be brutalized or oppressed by them - no matter what is done at their hands or in their name. Thus, by this belief, Palestinians become the rocket launcher, kidnapping and murderous insurgents that advocate every day for the dismantlement of Israel --- as if they have demonstrated through their deeds, they have something better to contribute to humanity.
This represents a double tragedy, as demonstrated by the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) in after the Israeli withdrawal, they will continue the fight. Granting the Arab Palestinian even more freedoms and responsibility is futile. Like what Albert Einstein said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
As the Palestinians say: "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors." Take them at their word.
Most Respectfully,
R
