[QUOTE=Zuimzado;45376364]It still does not make sense. Just because X country has a different political system it doesn't mean that it gets a free pass in regards to human rights.[/QUOTE]
I am not saying they should get a free pass, I am saying we should be more critical on governments who are suppose to be a democracy yet commits major human rights violations.
It has sadly become a norm for totalitarian governments to have human rights violations.
[QUOTE=Conscript;45376327]why are you guys so anti-israel[/QUOTE]
Why do people have to be labeled "anti-Israel" and not "Pro-Palestinian"? People who are "Pro-Israel" aren't labelled as "anti-Palestinian".
[QUOTE=Kondor;45376336]because we're all fed up of their shit and the western world needs to stop fawning over israel[/QUOTE]
What do you suggest they do instead? There's a reason it's been like this for 50 years; there is no solution.
[QUOTE=Crimor;45374323]Imagine the thought process of someone defending shit israel does like this.[/QUOTE]
It's usually something completely insane like "Well, Muslims are more dangerous." Or "The Israelis owned the land a couple thousand years ago, the Palestinians should just pack it up and leave." Which by that logic means that it's Roman land now.

Palestinians have suffered immensly at the hands of the Syrians, Lebanese, and their own governments. Hell, what the Syrians do in a short period of time actually exceed anything Israel has done in its entire existence. But, these injustices go unnoticed in favour of focusing on Israel. Lamar, you never even mention any of these injustices against the Palestinians, you instead linger on your percieved injustices perpetrated by Israel.

Semantics
[QUOTE=Melnek;45374480]Palestinians are actually treated far worse in the Arab world than they are treated by Israel.
If anyone is 'exterminating' or committing 'ethnic cleansing' against the Palestinian people, it's Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan (Kuwait as well, during the late 90's). Even though those are extremely strong words that should not be misused for the sake of emotional impact.

Yes, because in Jordan we round them up and execute them one by one.
The Palestinians are in Jordan in a large number, larger than Jordanians themselves.
Jordan is populated mostly by Egyptians, Palestinians, Syrians and Iraqis, Jordan is the fucking home for all of middle-east.
I am talking about their ethnicity and origins, not their passports and legal bounds.
