quote:
Not a word of your post entitles any one in the West to anything. Especially those land thieving war criminals in the Israeli Gov, whose innumerable crimes and atrocities, you are so fond of defending.
You have outlined preferences, not a single one of which entitles you to anything.
Other countries, especially Palestine, belong to other people and you do NOT have any right of entry invasion possession annexation or anything else unless expressly invited to do, in full and free consent by the locals.
When ppl stop deluding themselves with their false senses of moral superiority, (which, as the OP demonstrates, is blatant hypocrisy or self delusion or both) perhaps one of the foundations of colonialism will be reduandant.
Snicker.
Of course my posts don't 'entitle' me to anything. Only an idiot believes in 'entitlements'.
The 'entitlements' we have in the west are a product of a system of law. That law is upheld by power. (Same as any other power structure).
As human morality often fails, (no more so for one group than another) power is abused.
As for 'moral superiority' - well, your argument is absurd on its face. No group is more 'moral' than another.
That said - all government is instituted by man. They are frameworks by which we try to safeguard our rights and liberties. Monarchies subject the populace to the vagaries of a king or despot. Communism in its "true" form always fails to statist power oligarchical despotism. (ie., the communist party of china has nothing in common with the communism of Marx or Engel).
Muslim culture puts concerns of state under the concerns of religion (uma) and hence subrogates the rights of minorities. Subrogates the rights of women. In some places encourages suicide bombing. Muslim nations usuallly fracture along tribal lines as well.
Democracies, in contrast, provide a peaceful way for the political process to occur. Are they subject to abuse. Absolutely. Are they instable - absolutely. Can they devolve into statism. Absolutely.
The good news for you tweakabelle is that The United States right now is in a period of serious decline due to the democrat policies. We are becoming less transparent, less subject to the rule of law, and less permeable to class migration.
Oh. And those "innumerable crimes and atrocities" are a perfect example. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Frankly, the middle east is heading toward another conflict. Israel and the US should hope it occurs before Russia and Chinese power eclipse us further.
