Racial theorists are out in full force today.
I do wonder if you all can hear yourself: a lot of subtle implications of genetic defects in Palestinians' character and selective understanding of geopolitics in the region, or just basic societal dynamics.
I invited another commenter to transpose their reasoning to groups it's less popular to openly discriminate, I'd suggest you do the same.
- philistine 5mo agoSaying that no nations want to take Palestinian refugees does not make you a racist. The fact remains; no Middle Eastern nation wants Palestinian refugees, not for their genes, but for their politics.
- constantius 5mo ago"Saying that gays steal does not make you homophobic": technically true, but you're being selective with your understanding of facts. Most states (talking about decision-makers, not populations) don't want to take in large groups of refugees, not because of their genes or politics, but because it has a cost and risks (in terms of integration, gov perception, fuelling far right parties, etc.). Nothing to do with Middle-Eastern/Palestinian. Even though there are examples of massive refugee intakes by states, everywhere, including in the Middle-East, including of Palestinians, including voluntary.
- philistine 5mo agoI'm not saying anything about Palestinians themselves. Only the opinion of others about them. I'm saying shop owners think that gays steal.
