I'm also for fairness,

Not really. You are really for ignorance. And laziness. You don't bother about getting the full context of the situation.

and the Pals get the nasty end of the stick time after time. Like it or not, the Israelis are the bullies here.

Like I said before, you are lazy and you are only look at the surface without bothering to check into what is "under the hood." The "Pals" as you call them have a leadership that uses them as cannon fodder. They "get the nasty end of the stick" because that is the strategy of their leaders. The reason I called you a "dupe" before is because you just lay down and fall for it every time. It is a big PR campaign as far as the Palestinian leadership is concerned--let's get our people killed (give them the honor and the glory of being martyrs for our cause), and the world will come bleating to our doors and will scream at the Israelis for being bullies and murderers. Note that the leadership aren't in front getting killed--they are in their underground shelters. Or in many cases, not even in Gaza at all.

They have been kicked out of every country that they have tried to live in for longer than a couple of years for a reason--they are nuts. The countries that have kicked out Palestinian leadership includes (I'm going back to the 70s and 80s here) Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Lebanon, and Syria. They have never been allowed into SA. Iraq under Saddam supported them financially but didn't let them stay in the country very long. You are supporting a crazy leadership and don't even know it--that is why you are being duped. Along with a fair number of other people.

You and Sultan love to point to the crazy people in Israel who support deporting Arabs from Israel and scream "See what bullies they are--they want ethnic cleansing." But you never have once acknowledged--despite my pointing it out to you several times--that Arab countries have ethnically cleansed their countries of their Jewish populations in the recent past. You never say that the Jewish people got "the short end of the stick" then. It is irrelevant to you, it is "in the past."

And you show such a virtuous "compassion" for the Palestinian people, but don't bother even thinking for a second about many peoples--like the Yazdidi, who were oppressed under Saddam and who are now being murdered by ISIS--that are truly being not only "bullied" but are murdered in far greater numbers and with truly sadistic brutality than Palestinians. I linked an article for you that pointed to that fact, but you just gloss right over it. The reason you gloss right over it is that it is all a little game to you--you even call Palestinians "the Pals", giving them a cute little nickname. And the point to the game is to make you feel oh so righteous, you are the virtuous one "standing up" for the bullied and the downtrodden. Except that you don't stand up, you don't actually do anything at all, nothing is ever on the line for you, it is all just blather.

I just talked myself into ending this discussion with you. I too have have been an idiot for carrying it on for so long. No more.
