Interesting analogy you make, how the slavers in using the don't mess with texas sound byte were able to justify a carte blanche programme of occupation and ethnic cleansing, to work their captive negros on the lands of the indígena .... indeed the 'texians' were in 1836 proclaiming one set of principles and goals, and following another in their actions ... how exactly this transposes over to the current occupation of arab land you are not making clear, perhaps the proposition needs a little work, some fleshing out with detail

But there is today no slavery permitted in Tejas, so in that respect it is again mexicano ... in many other respects as well - it is reputed to have decent food in places, to persecute catholics very little, to largely refrain from shooting people for their skin colour, to enjoy a general amity and mucho castellano in many of its streets .... so no, i think you are quite wrong - Tejas is today mexicano, as it always was underneath, and as it always will be until you succeed in wiping out all seed of La Raza

Now transpose that to the land of the arabs ..... perhaps Bilow can help you, he being a bright boy in possession of a grip on these sorts of dynamics, n'est-ce pas -

'They were defending their home territory against an enemy that didn't look like them, didn't smell like them, didn't eat the same foods, couldn't understand their language, didn't believe in the same religion, and were using guns and even worse weapons all over the place to boot. If they hadn't shot at us, they wouldn't have been human.'
