You dodged it. Care to answer it? Did the Palestinians live in America and then, like, migrate to the Levant, or something?
What is it that you mean by the US bending over backwards for Native Americans (who do live in the United States), but that we "shit on" Palestinians? If anyone is shitting on Palestinians, it would seem to be other Palestinians, Syrians, Jordanians, and/or Israelis.
Israel is America. The 51st state.
The Palestinians are just as American as the Hawaiians. Or the Guamis.
Not through choice, obviously. But that applies to most "native Americans".
Oh! Got it...so, the US controls Israel, now? Or, is it that Israel controls the US? It's hard to keep those allegations straight. One say the US is just a District of Israel, controlled by the Jews. The next, it's the WASP-controlled US that has made a State out of Israel.....
I hadn't heard that the Palestinians, a people that did not exist as a separate demographic outside of "Arab" before Yassir Arafat, are now "Native Americans." Well, if they want a reservation on the west bank, I'm sure it can be arranged.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
