1. I'm not quite sure if i understand you here. What does the fact that these areas have arab majorities have to do with it being akin to imperialism?
You are ignoring the issue. I am talking about _Arab rule_, not Arab majority. Arabs are not a majority in Kurdistan, Morocco, or western and southern Sudan. But the rulers (except in Kurdistan) are Arabs.
The Arab League demands dominion over Israel as well, and Israel does not have an Arab majority.
2. Who says he's a symbol of fredom or so on? I think you have a seriously skewed view of liberals.
I have seen enough liberals celebrating Che Guevara, thank you.
3. To me, the palestinian cause is not the governments, but the people - the people that are living in these places and truly suffer through loss of their homes, pushed around, etc. That's the cause to me.
People are not a cause.
All the people had to do to remain in their houses and not be pushed around was not attack Jews. The "Palestinian cause", however, made them attack Jews instead.
The "Palestinian cause" is older than the current situation of the population and Fatah was founded years before the "occupation".
Add to that the fact that Palestinian Arabs have a higher standard of living than Egyptians and I begin to wonder how the "Palestinian cause" keeps attracting people who claim not to hate Jews, despite the fact that all prominent leaders of the "Palestinian cause" regularly call for the death of all Jews.
4. If people wish to live under a ruler, then that is there their choice. However, I support peoples' rights to overthrow their government if they do not like it.
Non sequitur.
5. I agree that there is something wrong with the not helping the refugee camps in the sudan, but that is hardly a liberal issue - so much as a government and world issue. I do believe we need to provide money to the citizens in gaza (directly to the less fortunate, not the gov't)
Why? Why do we need to provide money to them? What makes them more deserving than the hungry in west-Africa and the enslaved in Sudan?
Why the heck do we have a moral duty to provide money to people who call for a Holocaust?
6. He didn't make them disappear, they were likelly buried, burned, etc.
How? How did he bury or burn that many bodies? The Nazis needed furnaces, Saddam needed mass graves; how did Bush do it?
7. I personally don't find the gasing of Kurds to be peace.
Good, something we can agree on.
However, were those who protested the invasion of Iraq "peace activists" given that the situation they tried to preserve was not, according to my definitions and yours, "peace"?
(Make no mistake. Kurds and Shiites were still being attacked by the Iraqi government and whenever the world didn't watch closely, Saddam invaded the north and south again, driving the Kurds into the mountains and the Shiites into the dry land that used to be arable land.)
8. Ultimately I would like to see Israel with it's own country, and the Palestinian people with their own country. I'm tired of the loss on both sides and wish that the people - the blow hards - who perpetuate this would just...go away.
That doesn't answer my question. That is what the Zionists want and wanted from the beginning. What I would like to know is why so many liberals CLAIM to want that but then support the "Palestinian cause" instead. Do liberals simply not read translations from the Arabic when it comes to what Hamas and the PLO actually want or what is the problem here?
