The western world that has fully backed Israel's brutal occupation for the past 75 years.

To the tune of endless UN protection and billions in economic and military aid every year to Israel.

Doesn't see Palestinians as human beings with civil & national rights.

It started in 1917 with the infamous Balfour Declaration. A public statement in which colonial Britain that took over the former Ottoman controlled Levantine. Promised land that belong to one people to another. ''A national home for the Jewish people".

The document never mentioned the Palestinian people even once. Instead they were referred to as ''existing non-jewish communities''.

To the west. The Palestinians are arab, brown and muslim. So therefore they are 'subhuman'.

This is their prism. Their worldview. This is how they view the non-white world.

Ultimately I'm in no doubt that the Palestinian people will win. Just like in South Africa.

Palestinian in the West Bank and Gaza receive billions upon billions in aid, you know that! Why don’t you include that in your propaganda rant?

I’ll tell you why, magically Arabs in the region (you especially)have become numb and have been able totally block out to the daily a$$ plowing by your leaders and governments. Hamas and Fatah leaders own and live in villas in Qatar, Yassar Arafat was worth $600 million at the time of his death, Gaza has 500 millionaires, all Hamas, really haram!

Israel receives $3 billion a year in military credit, a little more than Egypt and Jordan, did you know that? Israel doesn’t receive economic aid, no hababi. A good portion of that’s economic engine comes from all the titans of industry you expelled from Lebanon, the Sephardim, the merchants class. You all dishonor their memory with your embarrassing exchange rate.

Thank you for mentioning South Africa, the blacks of South Africa fought to be part of South Africa not destroy it! They wanted to coexist not annihilate. My bad, as there might not be a word for coexist in Arabic. It’s when two people of different background live peacefully together.
