Don't go off on a tangent. From the outset Palestinians were perceived as inferior, as were Arabs in general, by the Europeans and Americans. That's one of the reasons the colonial powers of WWI could so easily turn over the land of Palestine to the Zionists after the fall of the Ottoman empire. In 1948, the UN made it official, although their were countries who offered some opposition they were strong armed into compliance. In 1948 there was the Nakba which also reflects their highly prejudicial attitude. They are the Chosen People, right? After, decades of abuse the Palestinian population in recent years reside in an outdoor concentration camp with no access to the sea. Covered less, is the he West Bank which has had it's lands stolen and settler communities have taken over a large swath of it, driving the Palestinians out. They are often killed by settlers, and who kill with impunity. They can rot in jail with no charges against them for years. As Gallant said, they are animals, yes and that's the way Israel see's them, so a genocide in their minds is perfectly okay even with the world watching.
"He had a lot of practice in pushing our Middle Eastern wars that NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED if those that resided in countries like Iran, Libya, Syria, etc were made up of a Christian population."
And when I provided data it had nothing to do with religion you say: "Don't go off on a tangent."
Look, think you want, and yes of course we support Muslims when they can be useful, or are on our side, and yes we used them in Syria, to bring down Assad and yes we used the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and feed them weapons to bring down Russia, etc, but if you look at the 21st century with millions of Muslims killed or displaced, you know they are perceived as less then. I have no desire to prove anything to you. I am voicing my perceptions and many who cover this topic agree and isn't this what Caitlin's post was all about today.
LOL..its so funny to me the russian bothead alienates everyone that does not share his exact to the letter opinion he starts to deride people over it in some posturing of his HIGH status as a enlightened thinker..BOW to his ego or he will disparage your person..
it's uncanny how he does it every single time like the scorpion and the frog . Can't help being a scorpion proving my point repeatedly..
So true!!!! In regard to what I had said it had nothing to do with the US using Arabs to its political advantage in Afghanistan, in Syria, or anywhere else, and everything to do with with the treatment of Palestinians, or the perception the Israeli's have of them, and you find yourself going on the defensive due to his misinterpretation of what you said. defending yourself No more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't take my comment personally, Fran. It could also apply to RB and even me, the one who approaches PERFECTION. :-)
We're all human. Methinks that you, me and RB are pretty close to agreement on the salient issues so let's not focus on the jokes. Too much bad shtt being done to innocents the world over.
Russian bot has priors with halve the people that come on Catlins substack.. his bad behavior is now legendary here.. and no one should excuse it even though the focus is on the yes very much more important issues but these behavior patterns are also shared with the zionist and their type of supporters and personalities.. if you want to be able to spot lies and distortions you have to be highly aware of these psychological manipulative tactics and personalities.

You said referring to Biden (all caps are mine):

What's your definition of a tangent?
Look, think you want, and yes of course we support Muslims when they can be useful, or are on our side, and yes we used them in Syria, to bring down Assad and yes we used the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and feed them weapons to bring down Russia, etc, but if you look at the 21st century with millions of Muslims killed or displaced, you know they are perceived as less then.

Pointing out something is tangential is often times a tangent itself.
For obvious reasons.
Suppose you write out a statement, a summary of what this exchange between me and Russia is all about then I'll consider your statement.

"... his misinterpretation of what you said" - how did I misinterpret what you said?
I copy snippets specifically so they cannot be edited out. You edited your comments recently, AFTER I wrote mine, which I didn't touch.
Please answer this honestly and coherently. Thank you.

Okay, fine with me.
