Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[brainlessone]

sylvester why do you care about "palestinians"? the Ingush were deported from the eastern black sea and sent to siberia by the Soviet Union, hundreds of thousands maybe millions. the armenians were butcherd by the turks.

and countless other groups of people have been far more unjustly treated than the people living on the west bank of the jordan. they had their own government for the last ten years, no body was killing them, there was no occupation etc etc?

and the same peoples live in israel and jordan and on the west bank : the circassians to name one group. It is a political problem kept alive in the world for 60 years and used by others to foment hatred and bitterness when it should not have started in the first place, using the "palestinians" as cannon fodder and the israelis as cannon fodder and scapegoats

There are a bunch of better groups of people around the world to get frustrated about the handling therof.

The Shan people are getting raped in Burma. millions of them. does anyone care?

So I want to know why are the palestinians so important. They were not even there 150 years ago. I have never been able to understand it.
