Probably correct, as far as how American Indians were treated, except the analogy doesn't hold in this case. We had this discussion previously, and I posted all the sources and documentation which reveal otherwise. Did you not read them? Do you need to be 'reminded' of them? Or do you just continue to rant your beliefs in spite of the evidence to the contrary? Like most of the good reactionaries. They at least have an excuse: They're stupid. What's your excuse? It certainly isn't because the facts are in your favor.


I definitely don't care about your posted documentation.

No doubt. If you looked at it intelligently, you would at least have had the good sense to get down off your soap box and keep your mouth shut regarding this issue, and keep your prejudiced beliefs to yourself.

But not you. You continue to shout from the highest soap box you can find your refusal to be confused by the facts.

This is a discussion involving opinions.

Opinions are based on facts. At least that's the way rational people form them. When you have an irrational opinion based on inaccurate and downright wrong information, all it amounts to is an unsubstantiated prejudice.

Mine is that the territory Britain arbitrarily gave away, was not theirs
to give, and it started a fifty year non peace situation there.

I see. Did Britain remove anyone from their homes? did Britain require anyone to leave? to emigrate?

And wasn't that partition done with UN approval?

No outsiders are going to be able to fix a wrong as old as that.

What wrong was done? No one was removed from the land. It is only in your mind that you tell yourself lies so often that you actually come to believe them.

But then again, you don't want to hear the documentation. You said it, you believe it, and that's that, no matter what the evidence reveals.

Oh - and the beauty of opinions is that they need not be based
on other people's reality. Each of us should have our own.

They all need tobe based on reality. That's what prevents them from being irrational. Like yours. You can't simply adopt a position that simply because you said it, that makes it valid. It doesn't. You can choose to believe it, but all that makes it is irrational.

I will continue to believe that the Arabs in that region were treated
as badly as the Natives living here before the Europeans arrived.

Of course you will. No matter what the facts say to the contrary.
and you expect people to take you seriously, after what you have said. You're nothing but a prejudiced, opinionated and irrational bigot.

The fact that most of us have benefited from improvements we've
made to the place doesn't make the theft and killing right.
And - we've done far more harm than good to the stolen land.

I see. And for the record, WHICH side declared war and tried to commit genocide immediately on the evacuation of the British?

HINT: The A----s. Need more help?
