...that you'd think during the course of the past 70+ years someone would have asked:
Why don't we ever see peaceful movements within the Palestinian society?
Because of Pride, and because they do not care about the 'history' of land being owned by Jews, but their fathers and grandfathers living in spots that are now taken by Israel
The answer is obvious for those who are willing to do the research and not base their views on 5 min bbc exerpts or social media propaganda.
You're right, media in the ME = Jews bad, Israel terrible. Nobody remembers that the arabs actually sold the land to the Jews.
Its because the Palestinian political machine is based on "resistance". What that means is...if there was nothing to resist, the leaders of the Palestinian political/terror organizations would not be in power.
So they perpetuate a cycle of violence, and destruction. More tears, more blood, more buildings being turned to ruble = more external "aid" money, and more internal support.
PA/Hamas are basically mafias preying on their own people. If you truely cared about the Palestinians you would see this is the root of the situation today. 1948 is long gone. Israelis are going to Dubai today, right now as we speak, because smart Arabs know that Israel is a much better partner for trade, security, etc...than the Palestinians are, and they know Israel isn't going anywhere.
What is Palestine going to trade? Olives? Israel took over everything and -intelligently- empowered themselves technologically to become a first world country, unlike Palestine and other countries nearby
If you really cared about the Palestinians "suffering" then you would demand answers for:
Why do Hamas leaders live in multi-million dollar mansions? Why do Hamas leaders wear $5000 suits? Why does Abbas get a palace? Why did Arafat die with
billions of dollars in swiss banks?
don't you dare diss Arafat, the leader of the resistance and the one that brilliantly stood up to the evil jews! /s
This is not "oppressed". This is mafia using their own people as pawns to aquire money and power for themselves.
You just got bought and sold. Palestinians should be resisting their own leadership. Plain and simple.
That's hard to do when everyone tells you Israel is bad, Jews are bad, etc. Part of the problem is that Israelis don't understand the palestinian side of things. However, I probably wouldn't care understanding their side of things if they wanted me dead anyway.
To your last point there is no religious hierarchy in Israel. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, Bahai, etc...are equal in rights. Look at the Israeli guy that runs Apple in Israel. He's Arab for crying out loud. There are Druze/Arab generals in the IDF. Arab miss Israels. Etc.. Etc..Etc...Etc...Etc.. Etc..Etc...Etc...
Yet if a Palestinian sells land to a Jew... there is a law, under the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, that this is a crime punishable by death!
Get your phuckin priorities straight brah.
