I am not a racist towards Palestinians at all. One of my best friends is a Palestinian. Hamas doesn´t care about Palestinians, and both Hamas and Jihad are known to use young boys in their demonstrations and suicide bombings. That shouldn´t be news to you either. I am very critical over the way terrorist organizations use Palestinian civilians for their own agenda. That has got nothing to do with racism.

I quoted an Arab Egyptian intellectual. Where's the racism?

Well, the world is much more complex than you think. That is why you need to read-this time do not rely on your ‘independent’ media. Funny too that every white racist has a friend of color somehow- we people of color call this liberal guilt-. There is an extensive scholarly work on the subjects- religion, politics, etc.. that you seem unable to comprehend, check them out instead of making judgments about things you don know except from silly imbedded journalists. One more thing, Farag Fouda was not a scholar; he was a pathetic regime intellectual careerist, who made a career out of defending the regime by undermining its opponents-despite who are they. It is really strange to defend the Egyptian regime while claiming western values of democracy and human rights. The bottom line is this: Israel is occupying Palestine, not the other way around. Any bullshit about Palestinian violence does not justify treating them like animals. If you are concerned about violence and murder, check B’Tselem, an Israeli Human rights organization and see their data on who is killing who. They have data by day, month, and year showing that the Israelis are the ones who are killing. What would you say after reading the FACTS? FACTS are important for sane people to make judgments. If you ignore them, there is something wrong with you: you will be wasting what makes you human; the intellect.
34. what are you talking about
Shir ,   Finland   (12.16.07)
You´re the one making generalizations. First of all, Israelis have a full right to kill terrorists. About 80% of the people they kill, are terrorists. Civilians die too and that is unfortunate, but terrorists hide among civilians so civilian casualties are impossible to avoid. If Israeli soldiers kill an innocent unarmed civilian, then I condemn that. I know Israelis make mistakes, but they are trying to protect their people. You are a civilized person yourself, so you can understand that Palestinians have responsibility for their situation and fate. If they would cooperate with the Israelis and not rely on terrorist organizations, they wouldn´t be in the mess they are currently. Do you realize that those terrorists make money out of violence. The more violence and chaos, the more they get money and weapons from Iran and the richer they get while Palestinian civilians became poorer. Don´t you see the destructive pattern. Terrorists create violence and try to prevent peace. Peace would bring you more money and stability and they try to prevent that. Your worst enemies lie beside you and they are the terrorist leaders. And let´s not make generalizations, my Palestinian friend has a light skin tone, maybe a bit lighter than mine. And he is my friend only because I like him, I don´t socialize with people I don´t like. Now think about things and stop being so thick-headed.

You may not like Farag Foda because he doesn't want to live in a country ruled by radical Muslims but did he misquote those clerics? You don't say. After all, you implied I was a racist for quoting him. Please don't switch topics.
