  1.  @fightclub1164  Correct, and historically accurate, even the best period, that of the Caliphate on the Iberian Peninsula, there was peace, but not equality.

  2.  @sagerages6407  Jefferson and Franklin stated "equality" is self-evident, but in this context it meant "equal under the law of the State". This is the context we're talking about in Israel. Not equal in the eyes of G_d, but equal in the eyes of the State, and Israel exists to protect a minority group of 15 MILLION Jews against 1.8 BILLION Muslims. I'd ask, who is the true Imperialist and Colonizer?

  3. The behavior is endemic to humans, regardless of the strawman skin color you pulled out. What nonsense. Many voices of "color" have written about the conflict for decades, but you choose to lie, as the facts are "politically inconvenient". You opened with the "Colonialism" trope, please focus on the trilateral conflict in Pakistan/India/Kashmir, I believe there were wars fought over that "LAND", too.

  5. I would ask Wajahat Ali why is there a Pakistan, why is there a Bangladesh, why is there a walled border between Bangladesh and Myanmar? If you look at the human and geographic scale between what happened in 1947 in India, and what happened in Palestine, Palestine pales in significance by comparison, and still does. There is a double standard at work here, it is racist, and also stems from the economic significance of oil, and the Western alliance with the House of Saud. How different it would have been if Hashemites had remained in control of the holy places, and not Ibn Saud.

  6. Patriarchy and Capitalism has destroyed the planet, so Carl Jung's "Devouring Mother" must save us from this evil. This is how authoritarian rule begins, it does not end it.
