The West must return to embracing and standing for the values and freedoms that have lead to their unquestioned economic and societal success and the greatest level of human happiness in the history of the world. We must not compromise those values of reverence for life or liberty; nor must we cooperate with those who would enslave the human mind and limit the pursuit of happiness in this world.
If peace is ever to come to the Middle East, we must treat the real and underlying issue, the hate and bigotry that permeates the region and which distorts and cripples the humans who live there.

Western Enablers of Palestinian Psychopathology
Sigmund, Carl and Alfred have an interesting read on the psychology of Western enabling of the hatred, racism, and bigotry of Palestinian psychopathology. Here's a snippet:
Donald, I would say your snippit also fits to a tee, life in the United States.......
ReplyDeleteThanks Tapper!
ReplyDeleteHe should also write an article on the "Western(American) enablers of Israeli dysfunction" or by your own words, "psychopathology".
ReplyDeleteThis psychopathology has existed ever since the League of Nations mandate (commonly known as the biggest failure since the creation of the UN).
If you're going to quote an article's title, you might want to consider doing it properly but I realise the standards and expectations for some of your readers (and perhaps yourself) isn't very high.
"Sometimes, real cultural and societal change comes about as the result of real, permanent, and severe trauma. The Israelis held back (when do they not, really?) and thus they will continue to pay the price for their humanity towards those who want nothing less than to exterminate them. "
ReplyDelete-Sigmund Carl and Alfred
Notice the clever use of the
word "exterminate"? Standard terminology used to nullify all FACTS related to the historical nature of this conflict.
He conveniently forgets the same "exterminaton" as facilitated by David Ben Gurion, of Palestinian Arabs, back in 1948.
"Benny Morris studied the events that lead to the Palestinian exodus. Among the different causes, he suggests that Ben Gurion and the Haganah leadership expelled Arab civilians from the area between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv in March-April 1948 in an effort to remove hostile Palestinian-Arab towns and villages from Jewish controlled areas before the start of the Arab invasion which was expected when the British left in May. In an interview with Ha'aretz in 2003, Morris affirmed that Ben Gurion had probably ordered the expulsion of Palestinians from Lydda and from villages attacked during Operation Hiram in October 1948.[10] "
But yes, as I said, I don't expect much integrity or honesty coming from this side of the camp, any time soon.
Good luck with the revisionist history lessons Professor.
C.S.: I've told you before that you're not welcome here, so why do you keep coming back? Move to Gaza why don't you?
ReplyDeleteDonald can you be any more lame with your remarks?
ReplyDeleteAren't you one of those pseudo-democracy/freedom advocates that thinks the United States should be bringing its apparently superior form of democracy to the rest of the world, at the tip of a gun barrel?
If my assumption is correct, wouldn't it be less hypocritical and disengenuous if you at least applied these same principles on your own blog? Although, in consideration to your previous support of practically every Bush/Cheney policy that has undermined the very tenets of your own democracy, for example the use of "special" intelligence gathering techniques which normal, sane human beings call TORTURE, and various Bush policies, we shouldn't be surprised at your selective applications.
