Brumar - Can we just kiss and make up? I really cannot go on with the topic of Cyprus with you, especially re your discourse of just how "morally superior" Greek Cypriots are to Palestinians because they don't do suicide attacks :) >>So you believe the Greek Cypriots could go into the Turkish Cypriot side >>and blow themselves up a la Palestine? >Uh, I very clearly praised the Greeks as IMO morally superior to the Palestinians >because (as far as I know) they haven't embraced terrorism and have >been humane enough to resettle their refugees. You have misunderstood me. The emphasis was on the word "COULD" - as in, COULD they possibly go into the Turkish side to blow up places? >Why is it suffering for Palestinians to lose their homes, while it is "suffering" >for ethnic Greek Cypriots to lose their homes? >You seem to have feeling for the Palestinians but >not for Greeks when very similar things happen to them. Those two "things" might look "very similar" to you from where you sit on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, but they are not. We talked this through, I gave my argument as well as the links, but failed to persuade you. You do not seem to understand either that it is the far heavier suffering in Palestine leading to their rebellion against their occupiers, rather than their "moral inferiority". Let's just call it a day and go back to US foreign affairs, shall we?
