palestinian children born and raised in camps
Poor children, born to parents who would rather live in dire poverty than experience free trade, freedom of religion, and the free exchange of ideas, which Jewish children enjoy.
Their parents have refused to live peaceably with Israel for 60 years, vowing that they will continue to live in poverty than associate with "filthy Jews."
It's a choice, you know. They've always had a choice. But the consequences of that choice are odious to them, and so it goes. They don't want to live with Israel, they want to live in Palestine, and are willing to wait until someone, somehow, wipes the Israelis off the face of the earth. And so they do.
It's not an unusual concept.
There are Mexicans who want to reclaim former parts of Mexico which are now parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Good luck with that one.
And the Tibetans want Tibet back, as well.
While the Catholic Irish want Ulster back.
Human nature is human nature.
Not mine, though. I mean, I am human, but I don't particularly want anything back. It's not really an American meme.
When I say, "free Tibet," I mean, democracy, free minds, free markets, free exchange of ideas, free religion, and freedom from oppression and violence. Which I wish for everybody.
Most, but not all, Americans like living in harmony with people who came from all over the world. Most of the ones who don't, are just peeved because immigrants don't assimilate fast enough to suit them.
Just think, a Chinese person can become American, as can Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans, Australians, Kiwis, Sri Lankans, Tibetans, and every other nation on earth. All welcome here. All permitted to practice their own religion, really and truly. All encouraged to engage in free trade and free exchange of ideas. No censorship of blogs for ideas. |
