Arabs fought in the 6 day war and where totally humiliated by Israel, their biggest and most powerful countries Egpyt/Syria was defeated in less then 6 days.Khalid,
To be honest this is a humiliation for all Muslims, however Arabs even more. Look how Turkey stands up for other Turks in Azerbijan, Northern Cyprus.
With regard to Arabs, they have literally had their little ceeb cut off, been officially been made women, a toy thing by Israel. No other way to say it. Don’t know how they look themselves in the mirror.
Now with Somalis forget about all these nobodies that call themseves FGS, FMS, etc. can we agree the long term strategy by the West is to keep Somalis as naago of Ethiopia, Kenya?
His words are spot on even 100 years later.Khalid Ali,
Aduunka xoog baa shaqeyso. The Brittish Empire may have collapsed long time ago. That said the system they set up to forever keep Muslimiin humiliated has worked till now. Only Muslim nation I’ve seen kind of recover is Turkey.
that is true western powers did help Israel, but the USSR was also helping the Arabs, but the way i look at why for example egypt or oman not caring about Palestine is like how for example a isaaq would not care about kenyan bombings in gedo. it is all tribal ours is internal within the country theirs is nationalistic tribalismNomand,
True, although they wouldn’t have been able to do it without Western help. Look I’m not even knocking them for not fighting Israel but to say we will have full diplomatic relations while they are humiliating their same ethnic group, massarcing their women, children, co-religionists, Al Aqsa, etc is crazy
Palestine's hope is non-violent Resistance.

It is time Palestinians were real with themselves. Hamas is as much an enemy to their vision of peace, security, and statehood as the Israeli state and Zionism is.
I was just reading a quote from a well known economist that says Israel are masters of marketing but with a faulty product while the Palestinians have the most lucrative product but almost no marketing.
Palestinian cause is the moral cause. They are the underdogs, the oppressed, those facing modern day aggression under a well-armed state that has near total control over their movement and freedom.
Look at the major world changes after World WAR II....Indian independence, US civil rights movement, South Africa, even as late as Burma and you will see all this was achieved by non-violent resistance and the power of world moral right.
In the 2008 Presidentian elections, John McCain had to apologize for voting against MLK Day then calling it a celebration of racial war but was brought in line by the moral right of the country.
US Vice President ceeb Cheney had to apologize in a trip to South Africa for having called the ANC a "terrorist group" in the 80's.
The Palestinian cause is the right cause, the moral cause in the current Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Yet almost NO ONE on the Palestinian side is taking advantage of this weapon more powerful then anything in Israel's armaments. Hamas in fact hurts it.
I think the most pragmatic and best cause option for Palestine today is:
-unilaterally announce cease-fire
-burn their shitty symbolic rockets
-adopt non-violence
-and resist as a people using their spirits against the Israeli war machine
This is my advice to them.

So my read is I think there is confusion about exactly what I see as the REALISTIC method to move things forward (synchronizing with internarional norms and expectations vs transacting with international institutions)
It is sort of like taking your child to a prestigious Jesuit academy.
Sure it started as a uniquely Catholic response of means and even Catholic creeds may still serve as the inspiration of the school, but the school is not just "for Catholics" today. Furthermore, they even teach evolution as the scientific standard just as any secular school.
Essentially, it is not even because of Catholicism that would inspire you to take your child there.
You would take your child there because they would have the best educational process that could possibly exist in the most respected and successful teaching methodology of any secondary learning institution.
But your child, to be a success, has to "modify" (how they learn) and even "conform" to "expectations" (such as "dress, behavior, and conduct." )
You see Murax, it is not about subjective concepts of "Western values" or even the concept of "existing instituions" that should inform the Palestinians about the best choice, but really the best process with the most successful methodology for achieving objectives like ending occupation.
And for the Palestinians to be a success, they have to "modify" and evenn"conform" to expectations----as the South Africans did, as the Indians did, as the African Americans did.
I wrote this years ago. Please take a look at it for further perspective.
In particular, think about the economist' quotes for a second.
Palestine's hope is non-violent Resistance.
