A question I would like to ask the Palestinians.


So you are a Palestinian. How do you feel about being an Arab and how do you feel about your fellow Arabs? Right now, as you read these words, your brother Arabs are enjoying themselves on the world’s largest indoor ski slops in Dubai, which was built over the world’s largest shopping mall. Other Arab’s are checking into the world’s fanciest hotels located in the world’s tallest, and most spectacular buildings. Tonight these Arabs will dine of china plates on the world’s finest international cuisine.

Do these Arabs understand what is happening in Palestine? Do they know that poor little Arab kids are being killed left and right by the Israelis? Do they know that the poor little Palestinian kids lack even the most basic things in life? Sure they do but they are not going to let that unpleasantness interfere with their enjoyment of a perfectly prepared creme brahe or chocolate soufflé.

Are there any Arab nations that posses modern weapons? Yes, just look to Saudi Arabia, they have the finest Air Force money can buy. Will the Saudis come to your defense? Of course not, they have better things to do, like drive around in luxury cars.

If your fellow Arabs-and your fellow muslims-won’t lift a finger for your defense, if they care so little for your pain and suffering, than why should I?

You receive no sympathy form your own kind, why expect more from America?

Excellent point, but hey they never complain about he Hashemites stealing the land of TransJordan that Britain intended for the Palestinian homeland in the first place,so guess they love being the victims! Look up The British Mandate for Palestine, course we all know that the vast majority of Middle Eastern Arabs are illiterate,can't waste money on schools and education,you know, so I guess they just don't know about how they've been "DUPED",huh?

Palestinian Arab State already exists;it´s Jordan.Why don´t palestinian arabs go to live there?

Oh, please!!!! Just seen this post - 2 years late, but better late than never! Does every rich American sponsor/feed/care for/educate/provide medicine for every poor American kid? Come to that, does every rich Brit do likewise for every poor Brit? (I'm English.) I'm sick and tired of the rich, civilised West expecting the "poor, uncivilised" developing world to be more moral, more self-sacrificing, more generous, more noble than they're prepared to be. When every American, Brit, French, Italian, German etc all voluntarily pay 10 - 20% of their earnings above a certain level for the relief of poverty - then we can presume to lecture other countries. Not that it will ever happen!
